My very low km 450 w/Brabus 22's

picked her up last month. Original single owner. All maintenance by MB.
Fully loaded with every package except midnight. Only 10,000kms on a 2017.

When i got it tires were flat spotted from sitting so long. The dealer covered new tires
so i decided on new wheels as well.

Brabus Reps 22x10 39ET
Kumho Crugen HP71 305-40/22

Very rare Hyacinth Red metallic

Normally I don't like Brabus but those wheels look very good. And red looks great on that car.

Interesting how the Canadian market 450's can be optioned with the AMG package. That isn't available on US 450's AFAIK.

Offet is 10mm more therefore it's more flush to the fenders... Looks way more proper

The handling has improved greatly and steering response much more direct and quick. Mainly due to the stiffer and lower sidewalls

Have you had any rubbing issues (at suspension compression or wheel lock?)

I'd like slightly taller tires (I currently have 295 40R21) to help counter all the potholes in the roads where I live. Wondering just how tall I can go without running into problems.

Thanks.

Hi, zero rub whatsoever, even at full steering lock
