hey ppl,

just came upon a deal for axis supermesh wheels
19's 8.5/9.5
tires: vulcan i think n they are 235/35 and 265/30
it was on an A4 so the bolt pattern is the same
does anyone know if it will work on a c-coupe

i don't know the offset so if anybody knows that will be great

thx

without an offset- we have no way of knowing if it will fit either.

one thing that might cause them not to fit is the fact the hub bore on audi is different than mercedes

Exactly. The MB hub bore is larger than Audi, so if they're not wheels that use hub rings, you're sh*t out of luck.

it wouldn't look very hot after spending $2,400 on it + tires + alignment + balancing + installation. Weird how people actually spend that crazy money on stuff like this. Don't get me wrong. I love rims and these ones are decent, but the price tag is just insane. Double 5 spoke AMG rims in decent shape with tires can be had for $700 (for all 4) if you look hard enough. $600 is nuts if you ask me.

If you buy the tires from tirerack, mounting + balancing are included. Installation is DIY.


Shawn, those would look great on your car.

Definitely, those would look so good. I was looking at those a while ago but they were to expensive for me. You should get them for sure

I feel the same. It may be different if it were a $60k C-class AMG, but not on a $30k C230. I know a lot of members spend bookoo bucks on wheels for their C230, but lets face it, it's a slow car so how much difference is a high dollar wheel going to make over a good looking replica for a fraction of the price.
To answer your question, yes it's a good looking wheel, but just buy a set of Mono VI reps for less then half price and very few people will notice the difference.

They're not bad, but for $600 each, you can definitely do better. This rim also gives the appearance that it might not "look" like a 19" on the car because of the way the center portion mounts to the lip. also, they are a little on the heavy side for that price.

Shake, those are WORK Euroline TR's.

For a semi forged wheel, $600 is very reasonable.

These look a lot like Brabus Mono VI's but there is no comparison with a replica Mono VI.

RAYS have always made quality wheels, these are definitely worth the price.

lol, this isn't a replica, like frank said these wheels aren't overpriced. Rays has great designs for their wheels; take the TE-37. these look awesome and if i could, i'd take it in a heartbeat!

I wasn't saying they were, but someone else mentioned that you could get replica wheels at a fraction of the price and blah blah blah etc etc. Wheels are what you want out of them. If you want some looks pay <$300 per wheel like me and get some reps that weigh more than my entire body (joking of course), if you want the highest quality built wheels expect to pay over a G for each. There is a gray area in between, but otherwise it's as simple as that IMO.

nah nah, i wasn't talkin bout you. i was quoting you when i LOL'd. people sometimes gotta relax, and i feel you. if i had a few G's to drop on some authentic brabus, i wouldn't. what a waste of money, i'd rather get some reps (while not claiming their authentic), save the money and go get a couple of drinks.
