Brabus Monoblock III's on a Y34

Im thinking about wheel choices for a Y34. Im looking for some suggestions on this setup.

Either 2 piece Brabus monoblock III's
they come in 20x9.5 ET37

or

1 piece brabus monoblock iii's
they come in 19x9.5 ET35

The look i would be going for is, so black centers with a chrome lip (i dont want to deal with polish)

Haha. The idea is still up in the air. Iv been calling and emailing places to get some price quotes on parts. So far im liking what im hearing :) Iv already sourced out air runners for a nice price and iv found a set of 2 piece brabus monoblock III's. I cant find a source for the mode parfume kit though :|

Me either, but not so much because of the brand but because of the weak sizes, especially for the prices youre paying for them.

Either way, if I had to pick one, 2piece gets my vote.

yup you would have to get creative with spacers and pcd conversions.

now unless u can pick up a super rare staggered set, that would be worthwhile. But most of these multi piece brabus III's are all the same size.

being creative like this with my Carlsson wheels is driving me crazy, also living in houston isnt helping, if I were in Cali it would be way easier to do this. My advice only go this route if you cant find a JDM wheel you like more.

there are many ways to make them fit onto your f50, PM me if you've decided to go with the Carlsson's and I can help u out with the fitment and pcd conversion. There is also a good way to mute down the chrome of your carlsson's if you don't like too much bling.

i really agree. if youre paying for them new just get a 3pc thats better fitted to your car. those are sick but for the price you can get perfect fitment without spacers. either way itll be sick. these wheels remind me of the white century in vipcar dvd. they look so cherry on that car its not even funny. you could pull it off too if you get air and spacers.

dont get the 1pc tho its not nearly as pimp. :biggthumpup:

Worse case scenario if i didn't want to run spacers, i can always just get the barrels widened :o, now that would be baller, lol. I already placed an order for airrrunners so thats good to go.

Does anyone have pictures of the q45t (silver, with the 5 speed manual swap) with the monoIII's?
