2005 E500 Estate Wagon
Came across a GREAT Deal !!!!!

I just came up on a sweet deal !!!! Got a set of REAL BRABUS Mono VI's (multi-peice)
today 19X9.5 (45mm offset) and 19X10 (35mm offset) complete with two 10mm spacers and 10 new longer lug bolts!!!
The wheels are chrome and need refinished, but that's OK, because I was going to take them apart and paint the
faces silver to match my wife's car anyway (W211 E500 Wagon) !!!! And for the price I got them for..........
they were well worth it ...........$600.00 total !!!

They even had 3 good tires (about 80%) on them already (although I can't use them....too tall)
Dunlop SP9000 245/40R19 up front and 275/35R19 in the rear (one of the fronts was junk from someone running it flat)!!!

The process begins !!!!


Taking the wheels apart to get the Barrels
powder coated!!!!



Going with Metalic Silver...almost perfect color match!!!!
$50.00 per wheel at a local shop to bead blast and powder
coat the Barrels (3 day turn-around)!!! I want it to stand out, but
not be gaudy, so I'm going with a Chrome face, and Metalic Silver Lips !!!


The wheels beside the wagon!!!!

Hey! congrats on the buy! I have a set of Brabus Mono VI's (2 piece) and love them! They look way cooler than the single piece model.
How did you find these? I want to upgrade to a set of 19's... any ideas where to look for great deals like this?
