Wheels and Brakes
Hello,
I have see the ML320CDI and the brakes could be better. Do you know if I can put the 4 piston AMG onces like I did in my sportcoupe? (They look very good).
How can I know if the 18' rims or the 19' AMG rims will clear the calipers?
I see that the offset of the ML rims is a lot different to any other car; so I supose I can only use rims made for SUV's, no? (a forum member has put new brabus rims to his ML; it will be interesting to know the details).
Best Regards,
Ruben.

Brabus K3
AMG 19 255/50 is 2816€
Double Spoke 18 255/55 is 1549€ (at least I will take those).
1549€ of diference.
If I wait for other wheels don't they be a lot more expensive?
Tires are the same prize in 18 or 19; something like 856€.
Next year the new AMG 63 is out; I supose it will have big brakes and the same bumpers and wheels, no?
It's strange that the AMG wheels don't have enought clearance for big brakes. (in the sportcoupe with brabus VI 17' I have the AMG 4 pistons calipers).
The car will be delivered in september but I have to fix all the options before the end of may; after that I can't change any option.
Thanks and Best Regards.
