Thanks!Lovely....
I want a set of Monoblocks for mine at some point.....
Technically I think those are almost right - for the age they should be 17s and I think looking at that they are 18s (so correct for a later one).It is the right wheel for the car
The earlier cars should also technically have the 3-piece wheels as opposed to monoblocks as in 1992/3 monoblocks weren't on the option list as far as I'm aware :

FWIW I agree the three piece ones are a bit fussy.Too fussy, I like the simplicity of the Monoblock and in 18" IMO it looks right with the nice dish on the rear.
I dunno about you but they look better on the facelifted one??FWIW I agree the three piece ones are a bit fussy.
Still wouldn't say not to them but the ones on the OPs car look very right.
I was looking recently at a members W220 wheels (which look just like those) for fitting to my 129 but they were M14 so a right ball ache to get right as the offsets were also miles off.
I can imagine both sets are pretty hard to find, replacing rear tyres won’t be cheap I know that for sure! At some point it’s potentially going to have a stainless exhaust fitted.
They look alright, at least there actual genuine Brabus wheels, they look like there from the Brabus R230 SL?Yes yours do look better IMO.
Mine is on the rims I bought it with:

Brabus Monoblock 'S' 19" with 255/35/19s (235/35/19s in this shot but since changed).
I'm not a fan of them....

Agreed. Its (one of) the reasons I'm not a fan.Too modern for that car (IMO of course)
