Brabus Monoblock VI one piece, 18x9.5 all around. Kumho Ecsta MX 245/40R18 front and 275/35R18 rear. Thanks to Sander at The Wheel Supply for hooking it up like no other.

Looks FREAKING NICE. Genuine Brabus too.. Great job on the polished lip. That makes big difference IMO. Great job great job. :cool:

If you got the wheels installed during last THU OR FRI @ TWS then you probably saw my car sitting "handicapped" there. haha :D

[krk230]

That looks hard@$$!...All your modifications are really tastefully done...

...but iono about the Porsche license plate frame eventhough it is a E500 ;) :P

500's were partly built by Porche. This is probably the only none Porche vehicle that can rock those plates;)

Porche? I usually call it a balcony or a deck. ;)

HOT..I love Brabus VIs, especially on w124s...I bet it handles like a dream with those 9.5s on there!

[Ozzie Bob]

That car is TOO hot! :D :cool: I love it! I'm going to have quite an impressive array of W124.036 pictures very soon! ;)

[C280 JR]

for some reason, those wheels look huge on the car, at first i taught they were 19s until i read the specs..

Thanks for the kind words, fellas.

Will - I forgot to mention the custom polished lips, courtesy of TWS. I agree that they are an essential finishing touch. I had the wheels mounted on Saturday, so I didn't see your car, but I'll be back there this Saturday to swap my spring pads. I'd love to see your ride(s), your Monoblock IIIs are to die for.

Elvir - They probably look big because they're one piece wheels. Multipiece rims tend to look one size smaller than they are. I could've easily fit 19s, and I'm sure jl88 will give me grief for not doing so. :D

krk230 - Didn't mean to offend any Porsche fans, I thought I was being as subtle as I possibly could. ;)

no no...i wasn't offended or anything...i think your car looks great...shoot i shouldn't even be talking since i sport a AMG badge just 'cause I have AMG rims...hehe...:P

[Luwin1026]

Very nice, my man!

I saw the tires being mounted on the wheels Saturday morning as I was there chatting it up with Will.

Awesome!! :D

[jl88]

PIMP!

[Brabus]

[HaFaMaCa]

Your car absolutely Rocks the Casbah!!!

Definitely one of the nicest... if not the nicest E500 (to me at least). I think it's just perfect. Maybe I'd add the Brabus muffler too but that's pretty hard to remove when you want to.

I would love to slap a Brabus exhaust on there, but it's difficult to justify a $2300 muffler (not catback) that adds 5 hp at best. There's always Remus, but everyone seems to have it, so I've been eyeing the Eisenmann. Dual 83mm tips would look right at home, but I'm worried that it might be too loud for my tastes.

Nice and they "Fit" your car perfectly

[redline]

Looks awsome!!!

[Euro Trenz]

Nice
