What do you guys think about these wheels for my 211? I really like the deep dish look.. and I'm on a budget (wife imposed)

none
nice looking wheel, but it looks ricey to me. I think it would be a better fit for a Honda or Nissan. You ought to look at the Brabus/AMG replicas, they are in the same price range.

Maybe for a Z, but not your E... keep it classy.

These are probably the cheapest 2 pc forged wheels you can get. But probably double what you're paying. But whats another grand when you threw down 60 already?

I was seriously contemplating the brabus monoblock vi replicas but was just afraid of quality issues when it comes to buying them.

I really like the deep dish look too:

But serially. I have to agree with the others who say that while the look may be fine for some cars, it's not right for a W211. Something with a little more gravitas would be in order.

I was also curious about the true non-$$$ difference b/w replicas and the authentic wheels. Is the composition any different etc. . .

I just found a "replica quality" thread in the Tire/Wheels forum:
