Just wanted to get everybody's opinions. They are the Brabus III 20". It's been raining the past few days, I'll try to get better pictures up when the rain stops.

I had dunlop's on my last set of 20"s that I just sold but they wore out so quick. I changed to Sumitomo's this time 245-35-20. Just not to confuse anybody the rims are the Dronell's that look the Brabus Mono III's.

There is a Dronell dealer in Houston and it was the last set that he had. I dropped it ~ 3" all around by a shop here in Houston. Ride quality is still smooth to me, but wasn't really a concern to begin with considering I drive both the benz and my navigator during the week. The navigator has been dropped 4-6 and the ride quality could make an old person wet their pants.
