Eye candy and a question:

Now for the question:

The car wash damaged my Brabus 17" wheel and they offered to replace. I would rather not pay full price because they were so nice. Is there anywhere I can get it online? Has to be genuine.

My advice is, stop worrying about it, they are a business, they have insurance for this sort of thing, just get the wheel where it is easiest for you and damn the price.
Get used to the Brabus monoblocks being damaged, they are as soft as swiss cheese, lots of stories of buckling and warping on anything but perfect roads.

That's not what I wanted to hear! I plan to drive my Brabus all winter long here in NE Ohio.

Damaged how, finish?

If you get to keep it, sell it to me.

How much did the speeding ticket cost?

What is that big pointy thingy in the backgroud?

My advice is then, to get a set of cheap steelies with winter tires for the winter and keep the alloys for the summer, loads of us do it, and it is relatively cheap as well

Yes, BRABUS wheels are notorious for being as weak as a wet noodle. Things happen to MBs wearing the wheels too.

Your best shot is to get some passion wheels for the winter and try to keep the BRABUS rims in shape during the summer.

...yes the Brabus wheel are soft...after hitting that pot hole in Cincinnati and not breaking I was surprised but it did bend...dealer said that the tire/wheel extra warranty will replace the bent wheel only if it lost air (read the fine print)..so a hard wood and some kinetic energy took it back to shape...

jetfuel...always wear safety glasses

So you just drain the air out of the tires?

No wait, that's cheating the warranty
