Monoblock 4 or Monoblock 6? Brabus has raised their wheels pricing recently.

With the new pricing, that is a good deal. With the old pricing, most people (incl. me) can match it.

Changing a set of wheels does not need to do alignment.

You can give me an e-mail, hopefully, we can work something out.

$6000, huh? I guess I can't say that I'm too surprised. I don't know how much less expensive the 18" Style VI wheels are, but hearing this really makes me happy that I picked up mine (Albeit used and with minor curb rash) for $2000** with nearly new Eagle F1 GSD-3's. I had the wheels refinished for $275, and they look absolutely perfect! On a side note, I just got PS2's on my car as well, and I was very pleasantly surprised at how much better they are than both the F1's and the P-Zeros I had before that. My car definitely turns in quicker, and understeers less, but the biggest difference is how much quieter they are! When I first got down the road my immediate gut reaction was that there was actually something wrong. It was just strange to not hear noises that I was so used to hearing! I have no regrets at all about getting the PS2's!!

I also prefer 18" wheels personally, although I do wish that I could mount up some 235 width front and 265 width rears like you can with the 19's...


Best regards,
Matt

** In case you're wondering, they are genuine Brabus wheels, as I called Brabus and described them in great detail (They do have the raised "Brabus" lettering on the rim flange)

Thanx for the reasurance on the PS2's... I had Michilens on my previous rides and they were great. I'll keep looking and see if I could get a deal like yours.
