FINALLY! Brabus 22" Mono VI's...

Without further ado, I present to you my custom painted Brabus 22: Monoblock VI's.

Car rides fantastic. It's much more focused and the steering seems more direct and precise – this is also due to the 265/35 front Pirellis that are a bit narrower than the stock 295’s. On the rear I have 295/30R22’s. Of course, over rough terrain (and I mean bad tarmac) the ride can get pretty rough. However, just select Comfort on the Airmatic settings and the ride smooths out nicely.... I do however like to keep it in Sport mode as it looks best when it’s at its max lowered level. Enjoy the pics.

Awesome. That looks bad ***! Great choice!

May I ask why you went with a narrower tire width in the front? Aren't the wheels the same width and offset front and back like the stock 20" AMG's?

Brabus recommended this setup – 265/35 – 295/30 – and the company I bought the wheels from was giving a huge discount if you bought them with the Pirellis in that size – basiclly a setup that come directly from Brabus.

The offsets are completely different for these wheels and the stock 20's, however the wheels are the same with of 10". I think the offsets are different becuse of the wheels design – but I checked with a few guys in this forum – Bluemonster and Rubensans – and it seems we are all running the same offset of 22's.

Finally is right. The car looks fantastic. Congratulations. I waited almost three months for mine, but like in your case, it was definitely worth the wait.
