I see a phone number. Plus you know what they say, if you have to ask the price, most likely you can't afford it.

I can't believe you just said that... MBRedux. I wish people here are non-judgmental.

Anyways... N91K I'm sorry for what our, MBRedux, our very own moderator, had just said. I am sure he's just kidding. But anyways, here's the brabus usa link.

http://www.brabus-usa.com/

I may go to Fletcher Jones here in OC today and I'll ask them.

For both wheels though I'd approximately say they are between 6-8K per set with no TPMS no Sensors.

Just to give you an example a Lexus IS-F Rims per piece is 2k per wheel. So I won't be surprised if any of the wheels that you like can go as high as 10K for all 4.

Very few members here will suggest buying a set from Ebay or from some website on the internet cuz he or she thinks it's cheaper. But Personally, I won't suggest it unless you can see the items for sale in person. But if you're just basing it on the description... well good luck. Also, most of these used wheels have been refinished and you can't even tell if there's a crack inside.Thus... that's why it's cheaper.
I remember one of the moderators here , I just forgot the screen name though, who bought a set of Mercedes Benz rims from a site because that's all he can afford.

I think I may have said too much... Good luck N91k.

As the saying goes... I'd leave you with this words fellow members....
"You can have all the material things in the world but you cannot buy class, Respect, lack of common sense, and tactfulness and I'd be ashamed if you are my friend, a co-worker, or even worse my Dad."

Very very slow
For someone owned an Aston Martin and can't afford a set of rims?

I think MBRedux is just kidding.

"You can have all the material things in the world but you cannot buy class, Respect, lack of common sense, and tactfulness and I'd be ashamed if you are my friend, a co-worker, or even worse my Dad."
First, it's a comedic figure of speech, used everyday by thousands of people. My own MB salesmen, that I know for over 15 years said the same thing to me the other day. Jeeezzz lighten up. If you're that sensitive, I'd hate to see how you would react to real criticism.

Second, I am NOT a moderator.

Third, I personally think it shows a lack of respect and/or ambition when other people are too lazy to make a simple phone call and do a little leg work on their own, but rely on others to do it for them. It's not only wrong, its inconsiderate. So don't tell me that I'm being the cold one here when the information he sought was a simple phone call away....

Yes i am. I was mistaken thinking this forum would welcome people needing help. I live in the other side of the world its not that simple for me to give a call at anytime knowing the time difference. Chill it was just a question.

No, you’re certainly NOT mistaken, people anywhere in the world are welcome when needing help and offering support – it’s the mbworld.org, isn’t it?. And as the saying goes (in parts of this big world): “There are no dumb questions – only some stupid answers” (e.g. responses)).

One problem with the poster in question is that he repeatedly acts as if his personal (and odd) opinions are valid in general for the forum. A second feature is his lack of seeing this forum and its members in a “global perspective” (although he quite a few times has referred to his travels in the world), for which we clearly have seen the outcome of now.

Characteristically does this poster not act as he speaks, note:

Doesn’t the flippant response to the OP call for an apology to her (this reminder should not be required - as you are so knowledgeabel when to apologise)?

Surprisingly even this vendor knew that something wasn't right, right from the start. Again, I hope none of us will hesitate to ask any questions on this forum.

I also hope that negativity and being judgmental will from now on stop cuz it's seriously making this site less respectable and also seriously unhealthy.

Now now! Untrue, and selective. Your personal hatred is showing.

N91K We had purchased a full Brabus kit and were about to ship it up North for the 2 month conversion. (See pic) but unfortunately Brabus in California called and gave us the sad news that the body kit was no longer in production, and only certain pieces were left. They are on the expensive side, but worth it IMO

Here's a direct link to all their pricing for the GLK X204 / USA It should give you an idea of the components they have available, especially wheels. It still will require a phone call to Dubai. I hope this helps: http://www.brabus.com/en/raster.php?...51&modell=8152

Agreed!

Btw- has he challenged you to a street race yet?
or call you a coward for not succumbing to his stupidity?

Can some1 of that mindset really be considered creditable in any subject matter?

Another round of ICE
I don't know the full background between all these parties, but, having been asked to intervene, my short review makes it clear this thread has deteriorated under the weight of personal animosity. Everyone should take a breath, and consider other threads where they can make positive, non-personally offensive contributions. Right here, right now, this thread is done. All should strive to do better.
