That rear tire width can't be real, can it? Looks photoshopped to me.

Otherwise looks awesome.

It isn't real. I just noticed that the front tire is much wider than the back WHEN TURNED AT AN ANGLE. Tread should look narrower from an angle. Fake photoshopped tires, period.

I think the front left tire (which looks wide) includes the rear left tire and that gives the illusion of a larger than stock tire. Tire widths look normal to me. The lowered car has a magnified look b/cuz the photo was taken from ground level. You can see this when you look again. Good photographer.

Good point Gid e up. My bad. Man, I was really pulling for Indy. Being a Browns fan, I know what it feels like. Broncos owned us when it mattered.

Still looks 'shopped to me, though.

Good God, that car looks Awesome

It does look a little bit too low. I don't think I would make it up my driveway the way that thing sits.

That is what I was thinking...That is the first thing I noticed...it was almost too low to be real. And the fender doesn't flow nicely where the wheel and the fender meets. It looks like it just cuts off...

Enzo, my Benzo
Chop. The fact that you see grass through the front wheel when you shouldn't is a dead giveaway, also the edge of the sideskirt almost touching the tire is blurred.

Hot car, love to see the real one though.

A SL55 delivered 8/18/07, and an E55 wagon delivered 5/11/05
Photoshop or not that is one beautiful car. I wonder what Brabus could do with my E55 wagon when I get it? I very may well have to find out! I was VERY impressed with their cars at the car show.

Those would in fact be the Brabus Monblock VI. The VI are two piece. When I bought mine they had 8.50 for the front and either an 9.50 or a 10 for the rear. The rear tires are photshopped without a doubt.
