Just put on 22" Brabus Monoblock E's

Just wanted to drop by with pics. Thanks to everyone for the wheel help a while back. We just put on these Brabus Monoblock E today, along with 305/40/22 Pirellis (yes I wanted a large tire!). Other than that, no mods except what came loaded from the factory. We bought the car last September and love it.

The best looking wheels I've seen on a GL.

Congrats, Sweet looking wheels. i bought a GL about 3 weeks ago and I debated putting wheels on it.I'm glad I am not the only one who feels the GL could use bigger and better looking wheels. Well I decided to do something differant and I went with a black wheel called Avarus AV2 since I have a black car with the chrome package including running boards, this is gonna be really new for me, cause i typically don't like black wheels, but I think it will be a very original look for a GL. I'll post pics when they are on in about a week.

No problems thankfully, though we work at home and barely drive much. I was just reading through some of the threads, that sounds like scary stuff.

I've actually only ever put chrome wheels on a car before, so I was even hesitant about going with the silver on these if you can believe it. I was looking at the Avarus AV2 pretty closely as well, and I'm sure yours will look great. I love the look with the new wheels on, and it definitely helps the car feel more complete for me. Now I've been contemplating the running boards as well..... decisions!

Good luck, and thanks to everyone for the congrats.
