Those rims are Brabus monoblock VI knock-offs, there are many companies around that sell them, they are junk. Why outfit your nice ride with crappy rims?

Have you or anyone that you know had them ? How do you know they are junk ? Does Brabus make those exact wheels with those deep lips ?

Brabus knocked those off from AMG's 3-piece wheels in the first place. If I were you I'd just get the AMG's instead. Theyre wwaayyy nicer and authentic.

The REAL Brabus wheels will have a staggered fitment 8.5/9.5 and will have a 2 inch lip in the rear

I looked at Brabus wheels for my car, but understand that they are HEAVY. I went with HRE 840's and am waiting for them to arrive. Pics to follow when I get them
