Lowenhart or Brabus?

What would you guys say for a 19" wheel on a 03 W209 CLK500? Lowenhart LD5's or Brabus Monoblock VI's? I like hte price point on the Lowenharts much more but am worried that the car will look too "bling bling"

I like the Lowenharts over the Brabus. This is just my opinion of course. I like the lowenharts would look good.

IMO, BRABUS ALL THE WAY!!! Don't get me wrong, I like Lowenharts as well but you hit it right on the nose, they are too bling, bling. Also, Brabus are made exclusively for Mercedes and Lowenharts are not. You can also do a lot more mods with Brabus matching all the way around. It's your decision though and either way, it will be the way you like it, and that's cool! Please post some pics. when you get them...

What?! you hesitate between Brabus and this little piece of trash which is called Lowenhart! It deserves a 3 days ban at least!

hey hey now, no need to trash talk Lowenhart. I was thinking of getting Brabus for my w202 but it wasn't aggressive enough for me. I chose lowenhart's because they were more "thuggish" and also because they are real head turners. I've always loved Brabus and Lowenhart but this time I chose Lowenarts. Maybe in the future after these are bent/curbed/stolen I will get Brabus.

Lowenharts are not too bling in the silver machined finish..infact the LD5's are absolutely stunning in silver. Be different go with lowenharts, they weigh similar to brabus anyways..and you will save major cash on it.

whoa whoa, a little harsh there. I'm sure he isn't a representative of his country or anything. Maybe you should edit yor post. I know I sure would be offended if you called me a dirty communist bike riding, disease infested, dog/rat/cat eating chinaman, even though I'm a Chinese American.
