Default What do you think Axis Vip

Hello, I was browsing through the net and I saw some rims that i kind of liked . What do you'll think of these rims? Does anyone have pics of them on a GS?

will it fit the gs? here are the fitment: 20x9.5, 5x114.3 on the back and 20x8.5, 5x114.3 on the front, would that be a big lip?
5x115.20.9.5.25.73.1 I guess that would be the offset? Does anyone know if they would fit?

The lip would depend on offset as well. But I quite like it, I think it would look sweet. Chrome is a must though

I think they would look okay too. Maybe in different finish.

I usually dont pipe in on this stuff, but I dont think the wheel would look right on a GS, it doesnt carry itself well and looks kind of cheap. From the info you provided, I think the offset is 25, which means fender shaving/rolling...

putting a rim on a ride is one thing, but if it dont look right, doing it chrome makes it worse... imho.

Here is a pic I found on a q45.
My question is, Does anyone know if they will fit? I have been looking at a lot of tires sites but when I choose a 2001 gs300 as the car I never see these rims, They appear if I choose a G35 though. If they dont fit does anyone know where they wouldn't fit?
Shaving and rolling fenders isn't an issue since i have to anyway because i intend on bagging it soon.
They have them in the following sizes
20x8.5, 5x112, et32, / 20x9.5, 5x112, et25, HypSil(front,Back)
20x8.5, 5x114.3, et20/20x9.5, 5x114.3, et25
20x8.5, 5x114.3, et20/20x9.5, 5x115, et25
would anyone of these sizes fit?

Negative, I dont really like those wheels all to much I know the Axis EXE line offers some pretty decent wheel. But if you are trying to lean to a VIP look dont go with those. hell even look at some AME wheels
