Keep brabus wheels or...

Go to stock E63 wheels.

The brabus wheels are authentic VI's and are 19s. Problem is, I live in Boston and 19's are tough to have around here. I like the E63 wheels. Will I miss the Brabus wheels? I am not sure what to do....

See if you can get a good price for your wheels and sell them. Use the money to get some good condition stockers from someone who has upgraded wheels, and another set of Brabus Repro's, that way if you miss them you can put them on again.

The Brabus wheels really aren't gonna be worth much, except to those who want them, so I wouldn't see the issue with having a good looking set of replicas instead.

But that's just me, and I'm a cheap ***.

Yea I would sell the brabus wheels. I should be able to get at least $2K for them on Ebay it seems (for a quick sale). They are in good shape.

I just cant get myself to do reps on the E55...

The E63 wheels also show off the brakes a bit more than the brabus wheels. hmm

I would keep the brabus wheels, very beautiful, and a little more awe inspiring (by the name) than the regular AMG E63 wheels. Just my opinion, though BOTH sets are very nice wheels.

IMO the Brabus looked dated. Cool wheels for sure but changing up would add some edge to your ride! I would stick with 19's though... GL
