found it.

http://www.cadeswheels.com/2010/wheels.html

it's a "cades - apollo", available in both ///m and non-///m fitment, albeit in 19" only.

i don't see a north american distributor for them though.

IMO... these would look really good on an ///m. not so much on the scrawny-braked non-///m's.

on 2nd thought, not sold... the convexity gives the wheels a less aggressive, more tucked look.

i see what you're saying... although, i think it's more of the depth of the lip behind the outer face of the spokes that is causing the illusion of a tucked-in look. for me, it would look much better if the lip were heavily rounded, similar to that of the 224m. or chamferred like the 203?

what i have learned... the longer i stare at it, the sooner i want to look at a car with csl's (the great constant), just to set my eyes back right.
