cheaper than Advan and also weaker than Advan

I guess this is the formula to buy wheels

cheap = weak

NO offense!!

you didnt mention the reverb on the wheels your requesting, but heres some pics anyways

damn... how could I forget the reverbs....

sorry but axis wheels ARE NOT WEEK... trust me... I hit a crator on 59th street and 10th avenue... I stopped... walked back... put my leg in it was up to my knees... both wheels survived... could say the same for the tire...


NOT EVEN GONNA ASK HOW A +15 fit

saw wheel studio has those for sale for like $600 on ebay...

axis is stronger than rota and lighter... and I see tons of p45r's so I dont get it

I am planning to possibly turbo this car if I can ever drop in forged internals.... and since it is already 2.5"... all I have to do is get a y pipe and another muffler... so I'd be dual exit 2.5"...

fronts fit perfect, you get a little plactic fender linder rub in a hard turn but thats it. The rears had a rubbing issue but nothin a hack saw couldnt fix in a few min. i cut about 1/4 inch or so of the inside lip of the fender off then sealed it so no rust would form. also the tires are 235's so the rim sticks out past the tire a little...cant run a wider tire or ill have problems.

axis might look good but they're no better than rotas (not saying either ones are bad)

I would tend to disagree since axis are lighter...

regardless they all made overseas (and not in japan )

axis made in taiwan

WOW.. ppl can be so ignorant sometimes!! Some Axis wheels can be called trash/weak whatever.. but some of them are actually decent..

Axis Circuit man they are light and tough.. like posted b4 there made by RAYS ENG. Good *** wheels for the $$ am getting some Advans RS for Show and rocking the Axis for Everything else..
