FS: Authentic Brabus Monoblok VI 2 Piece - 18x8.5

For Sale: Full set of AUTHENTIC Brabus Monoblok VI 2 Piece - 18x8.5 all the way around w/ 35 offset with 2 Tires.

Wheels are a 9 out of 10. They would be a 10 out of 10 if it were not for a 1/2" rash on one wheel and a 1 1/2" rash on another wheel. Both rash are so hard to tell unless you inspect it up close. Wheels are true straight with no bends, cracks, and very lil curbrash (detailed pics of rash below.)

All 4 wheels come with Mercedes center cap and valve stems.

The 2 tires are BRAND NEW WITH ZERO MILES ON EM Michelin Pilot Sport 255/45/18 ZR18.

These came off a S-Class but will fit most models including the CL-Class and E-Class for sure. You are responsible for fitment.

Looking for $1,500.00 for local SO CAL pickup. PM me if interested.






Picture below of the .5 inch rash. This is the worst damage on the set.


Picture below of the 1.5 inch rash. Can't even notice this rash unless you inspect it up close. It's more like a light scrape.


Picture of the tread. Brand new tires with ZERO miles on them.

If they are authentic, where are the engraved "BRABUS" emblems by the valve stem? I believe these are replicas. Anyone wants to confirm?

Wheels...

Are you guys sure about this? I bought them off ebay a while ago and the seller informed me that they were authentic...

I am definitely not trying to pass off something fake as authentic.

If someone completely knowing about Brabus Mono VI wheels could post or PM me telling me how to check authenticity, I would appreciate it.

Also, if someone completely knowing about Ebay and their policies could post or PM me as to what I might be able to do to get my money back and return these to the original seller would also be appreciated. This would probably kill 2 birds with 1 stone.

uh oh, yeah dude. I guess I took your word instead of looking at it close. They're fakes.



....or maybe we should say Authentic REPLICA's! Do you still have the ebay ad? I bet you it says that somewhere.

Wheels...

Well I guess I'm **** out of luck.

Found out that the Brabus stamp would be on the front of the wheel as well as the inside back of the wheel.

I tried contacting the seller about a return / explanation with no luck. He isn't returning my emails or text messages.

Sorry about that guys. Was definitely not knowingly trying to pass these off as real.

FAKE Brabus VI for sale... $500.00.
