HRE or Brabus for W209??

Hi. I have a W209 and have been thinking of getting new set of 19" wheels. What I have in mind is either Brabus Monoblock VI [2-piece] or HRE 841R or HRE 847R. Which one would be better to get? And what tires should I get too? Thanks

If you dont care much for lightweight then brabus is really a classy look. But honestly im really diggin the look of a set of 19" BBS LM's with the red center cap.

hehehe Thanks for the response.

Harris: Thanks for the link. It is really helpful

Tezta: Yaaa I was thinking of putting BBS rims before but my friend recommends me to get either Brabus or HRE. HRE gives a sportier and more elegant look [to me] and Brabus gives a more classic look [just as you have mentioned]. The only thing that keep me from buying Brabus wheels is that there are too many people using Brabus monoblock VI wheels.

Anyone with pictures of W209 with HRE 841R wheels?? If anyone has it, please shoot me an email or attach the photo in this forum. Thanks for the help.
