I decided to take the previous mono 6 replica wheels off and went for a set of custom 3pc forged wheels from TWS and slammed the car. Any comments are welcome, tell me what you guys think. I would also like to ask what do you guys think i should go with Brabus on-road kit, Kleemann or Fab Design. Thanks guys, sorry for the bad pics.
what did you use to lower the ML with? I would alos like to see better pics of the wheels and some specs on them.

Yours looks a lot lower than mine with the Brabus kit. If you get a chance in the future I would like to see some close-ups of the wheels and of the side of the ML without the shadows to get a good look at the gap between the tire and wheel well. I like the looks and the 22’s do not look out of place as compared to some other 22’s I have seen. The only thing missing is a set of Brembo's...

Sorry for the lack of quality pics and will take better pics soon. The gap among the tires and fenders is 2 fingers in the front and 3 in the back. The reason why it looks a lot lower than your brabus springs cause the eibachs were cut and heated to this height. The original height is the same as the brabus. Unfortunately, the new ML has a very high offset, my friend did the measurement for me to make the wheels dead flush to the fender. I will not be able to use any brembos as the clearance of the spoke to the caliper is only about 2-3mm. Either i sacrifice the 3" lip or no lip at all for the brembos and i wasn't willing to do that. More pics soon.
One last querstion for you, did you get your ML alligned after the spring installation? I had mine done the Monday after I have the wheels and springs installed at my dealer while I was in for an oil change. They were able to use their maching because it fit into the Brabus wheels.

I am going to align my car in a month after the springs have settled down to the height and adapt to the car.

FYI, don't expect to get the cambers back to stock alignment. It's just impossible due to the lower height. Toe can be set dead center with no problem.
