Default Axis 18" Widetrack or 19" Decade on Crystal White GS3?

Hey guys,

I want to see if anyone can give me some opinions on wheel choices. What do you think will look better with the crystal white, Axis Widetrack 18s? Or should I go with the Decade or the Shine in 19s? I like the Widetrack's 7 spokes but 19s will look better. I don't know how it will feel with any of these, but I already can't make up my mind. Any opinions will be appreciated!! Many thanks!!

need pics to give opinion, bigger is always better (upto 20's) i know some might not agree but i always liked color matched wheels execpt black faced rims wayyyyyyyyy to played out. white rims, polished lip on white car looks sic. i've seen it on high end sports and luxury cars, but at the end of the day the only thing that matters is your own opinion

Some pictures would help

Axis Widetrack



Axis Decade



Axis Shine



I'm partial to 5-spoke wheels so I'd opt for the Axis Shine

So many people like the Shine lol...

I was at the shop today and they actually placed a 20" Shine in front of my wheels to give me an idea of the look...it does actually look nice and goes with the white it seemed...but I was thinking will the Shine give too much empty space into the brake showing all the ugliness of my OE stuff? I also thought the Widetrack is more sporty and reminds me in a way of the Volk TE37...lol

Btw, is 1800-1950 for staggered with tires a good price on these? Or is there something you guys can suggest at this price range? Sorry for asking so many questions but I just don't know a thing about these. hehe

now that i see the pics i would say the widetrack, i think it looks kinda like the volk te37's a little too and i love those wheels, classic style. i would still suggest 20's though. my $.02 good luck anyway you do it

I'm planning to go look at these tomorrow, I'll post my opinion after I check them out in person. I bet these wheels with a DF210 drop would look awesome...
