Nice. Personally, I prefer rims that have less than a dozen spokes. But the old 90's monoblocks, for example, we're too plain. While some rims out there have way too many spokes. These look real nice; elegant for the 220 style but with just a hint of 'flash'.
Cheers,
Jeff

Well said Jeff.

Those seem to work well, b/c you get the styling and flash of multispokes but on an essentially 5-spoke wheel.

They work, retained still within corp bloodline.

now...

...Kimblerulez!

Ha!

Holycrap it's been a loooooooong time since I've visited 'that'. What a hoot! Too funny, thanks for throwing that out there.

Speaking of longtime, seems quiet from you over there Mr. Oxygen good to see you posting again and you're still doing things w/ your 65 - hope all's well.

I think those wheels will look stunning against your silver - report back 8-).

Me personally, I'm not a big fan of the Brabus wheels. I've looked at a concave 10 spoke and now I'm going for the Vossen CV3 in graphite......but like I said, different strokes, for different folks. Good luck to you .

Brabus Mono block S wheels

I have the Brabus 20" Mono Block S's on my W221. I think they look pretty good.

Brabus Mono block S wheels cont.

I don't know how to add pics to my last post so I'll put them here.

Please bear with me and give me some feed back on the Mono block S's.

Oxygen,

I like the V's but I like the S 's better on the W221. But that's just me. Go with whatever your heart tells you. You can't lose either way.

Tony

There's a clip of his W220 here. Looks like an '01-'02 based on the old school square navigation.
