Hey guys,

I'm going to have new wheels soon, and I need to sell the current wheels I have on. I currently have them on my car, but I will probably have them off by the end of this week. They are Spy Engineering Brabus VI replicas, and they are definitely one of the better imitations out there.

The wheels will fit any w203 without the sports brakes; however I've been told that the wheels MIGHT be able to clear the w203 2-piston sport brakes. These are staggered, 18x8.5 by 18x9.5. I couldn't find the offset of the front wheels, but right now I'm running on coilovers and they barely clear the strut without a spacer, so it's probably somewhere in the higher 30's? The rears, if I remember correctly, are +28. Edit: I forgot to put the tire sizes. They are 225/40/18 up front, and 255/35/18 in the rears.

These wheels, I admit, aren't in the best of shape. The front passenger side wheel got pretty hurt in a sideswiping accident, so it definitely needs to be refinished. There is paint missing from where the trailer hit it, and is pretty rashed. The other wheels are pretty much fine, but they could use a little TLC. The front tires have a plenty of tread on them, but the rears will need to be replaced soon; the camber wear is pretty bad, but you can probably get a few hundred more miles out of it if you're in a relatively dry region. It comes with Brabus caps, chrome valve covers, and Nexen N3000 tires, but not the lugs. I'll throw in Otis LA lug bolt covers in with the sale. These covers are chrome, and definitely help the crappy lugs look better.

I would personally rate the wheels a 7/10. I'd prefer to have it sold locally, and mind you, this is dirt cheap for a set of pretty decent wheels. I will probably have more pictures tomorrow, but here are some recent ones of it on my car.







And a old pic of the wheel that got hit. It looks a lot better now after I worked at the grease, but you can see the spots where the paint is missing:


Please, the wheels are already priced pretty low, so try not to lowball me.

Here are some more pictures of each of the wheels that I just took. I take back what I said, and will say that 3/4 of the wheels are 89/10, and the wheel in the accident a 7/10. They are all structurally sound, just has cosmetic imperfections. Not including the accidented wheel, 2/3 wheels have miniscule rash, and the other 1 is perfect.

Passenger Front ( Got damaged ) :



Driver's Front ( Perfect basically ) :



Passenger Rear ( Little curb rash here and there, and a really small bit of paint gone from one of the spokes. I think a rock hit it ) :



Driver's Rear ( Perfect for the most part, just a small knick of rash )



You can see the bolt covers on the lugs. Definitely helps with overall appearance, and somewhat acts like wheel locks. There are 20x Chrome covers plus the tool; I have a wheel lock on the rears so it looks a little funny.

Please, these wheels are going for CHEAP, you probably won't find a nice set of reps for this price ever! Let me know guys.
