Nice. My favorite so far. This is similar to the BBS LM.

Contact peter@wheelexperts.com and tell him "Jason the diamond guy from 6speedonline.com" said to contact him. Peter Lee is the man for Maya wheels. FYI the STM has been discontinued but there are a few still floating around. Good luck, you have finally chosen wisely on wheels

I've done a little research...and have seen something about being discontinued. Just my luck, I find something I like and I have problems finding them at a descent price.

Thanks, I've been trying to find some worthy wheels, now I hope I can get some.

And Thanks. I'll be emailing Peter.

Thats easy, H&R springs...Ive had them on my 2000 E55 for over 40K miles and it rides perfect. I got them at Tire Rack fairly cheap, make sure you get a good alignment after you install them. Oh yeah I forgot you can get them from Peter also

Oh cool, sounds easy. Is there a certain size spring I need? I don't know anything about this subject. Are they hard to install. Do I need to bring them to a mechanic to put them on?

Remember, if the offset on those Axis Pentas with 8.5" width are between et25 & et29 they may not fit.

They will be 30 front and 40 rear where I may get them.

In comparison to stock:

The inside of the front wheel will spread 5mm towards the car.
The outside of the front wheel will spread 7mm towards the fender.

The inside of the rear wheels will shrink 2mm away from the car.
The outside of the rear wheel will shrink 12mm away from the fender.


Basically, you will get less of a staggered look.

Partially. But more so because you are going from a 9" wide rear wheel (your stock size) to a 8.5" wheel.

In case you didn't know, your front wheels are 8" wide and your rears are 9" wide.

Yea, I realized that (someone mentioned it to me). But these wheels, Axis Pentas, appear to come staggered. 8.5 front and 9.5 rear. Is this better. I found some staggered online.
