Depends on the SUV, i havent seen too many aftermarket MLs.

I like the CLS wheel, but i thhink for anything to look good on the car, 22s is a must. 20s are just too small, even after lowering.

Also like the last tsw wheel you posted.

Fake Brabus wheels are a big no-no.
Fake wheels=Fake car=fake person

Plus, your car deserves better.

I am in the wheel biz. I actually sell brabus replicas, and the problem is they are not hub centric. So, they shake when youre going about 65-70. Causing for a very unpleasant ride. I would recommend to just save up until you can get the real thing, until then, be happy with what you have

BTW.. real Brabus wheels arent that great either. I would recommend OEM AMG wheels or any kind of 3 piece wheel, excluding, Asanti, NC Forged, or any other cheap 3-piece brand.

wow i had no idea they were that bad, sounds like an accident waiting to happen. i bought some rep corvette wheels years ago to put on my hotrod and have had it up to 120-130 with out a problem but maybe i have been lucky. i thought they had to function up to dot standerds, at least 80-90 plus mph. thanks, i will look into differnt wheels
