Does anyone have these rims on their E90?

bringsmewomen · 03-23-2006, 03:57 PM

I am considering another rim since I know someone who can get me a discount. Just wondering if anyone has seen this in a 19" size on an E90... They're called Axis Penta.

They look like a lower quality version of the Beyern Mesh rims. I think Wheelmax sells them.

its true but what matters is the quality of those rims..my friend told me axis rims are pretty good but u should really think about it
then again if i were u, i would save up more cash for better rims..i bought moven rg5 (hamann replica) bout a month ago and really regret it..another 1-2 months of waiting and i would have gotten the real hamman pg2 or pg3..
my advice to u, ask around to see if these rims are worth your dough..dont regret ur decision later on like me..i like axis hiro too, they look simple
anyway good luck

I actually have those on order. They are good quality but what sold me was their weight. The 19x9.5 is around 25.5 lbs, a little less than the 162's that I'm using for my winter tires.

My first choice was the BBS RS-GT at 22.5 lbs but they cost more than double the Axis Penta. I got my Penta's w/Pilot Sport PS2's for $4000 CDN. BBS would've cost me over $7000 CDN with rubber.

Using the Penta's with the PS2's will lighten each corner by about 3lbs(from stock Bridgestones) which should negate any ill performance effects from using a larger rim.

I'll post some pics when the snow is gone.

TSW makes the Beyern. The Beyern Mesh is heavy (about 31 lbs) but are alot cheaper than the Axis .
