They are Axis Finish 19x8.5F, 19x9.5R. I'm the R&D car for Tein's line of suspension for the W203 so I'm running prototype Tein coilovers.

I actually happened apon the puddle and just had to snap some pics.

Brabus exhaust. For cast wheels the Axis are of good quality. Nobody I know in the VW/Audi world(my other world) have had any problems with them.

Nice suspension set up indeed. Is there also a bodykit you added, especially the side skirts? Looks very good...

What is the offset of the wheels? My Mono 5 Reps rears rub on my stock "04.5" suspension.

I really like the way the look. Reminds me of the Breyton Magics I had on my wife's E46. I wished they came out when I was shopping for wheels.

40mm in the rear. I rub slightly on the rear fenders on BIG bumps but clear the suspension just fine.
