19" Brabus Monoblock V wheels
I decided to go back to the stock Monoblocks on my car since tires are cheaper. I have no use for these now and they're just taking up space in the garage. They have a lot of scratches on them and some curb rash. There are also some minor bends as well. IMO, they need to be redone. They do balance out fine and I didn't have any problems with vibration from them. The left front wheel is leaking at the valve stem, but that shouldn't be a problem for a tire shop to take care of. I was quoted $750 to have them refinished by Rite Way Wire & Wheel Specialist in Walnut Creek. That included taking the wheels apart (they're 2 piece), removing any bends, removing any curb rash and powder coating the centers black and polishing the lips. These are real Brabus wheels. They do not come with center caps.
The tires on them are no good. The left front one has a huge bubble in the sidewall (from running low too often due to the leak). The right front is worn as hell from my alignment being off. The rear tires are iffy. They still have good tread, but while running the car on the lift to try and figure out my vibration my mechanic noticed the tires were slightly out of round (the wheels were running straight). I'd recommend replacing the rear tires (Nitto NT555) as well.
front: 19 x 8.5 et35
rear: 19 x 9.5 et35
5x112
$600 obo. Don't bother lowballing me.
LOCAL ONLY! I don't have the time or desire to mess around with shipping them. If you can't come pick them up from my house in Concord don't waste your/my time.
They're pretty dirty in the pics.
Here's a shot of them when they were on my E55.

There wasn't any when I first put them on. I've had a vibration that is not wheel/tire related for awhile now (that my mechanic can not figure out) so it's hard to say for sure. They balance out fine and don't take a lot of weight.
The tires on these are no good, so you'd need to replace them.
