i like the 5 spoke design.. but I always feel like the bigger u go with a 5spoke rim.. the smaller your brake looks. You see too much space between the rim and the brake. almost as if its forcing you to upgrade to a BBK to fill the void. Other then that, I think it looks hot.

reminds me of the Vertini's, the golds look sick. Was gonna get them but they only had them in 20's. Cool wheels though. Always had a warm feeling for the 5 spoke wheels.

the axis wheels look good, but i would think you should spend a little more money on getting wheels like WORK or WEDS instead of changing wheels all the time.

Nice.. I have same rims too.. I'm saving for WORKs.. Just deciding on 19s or 20s... I think I'm going with some 19s then upgrade to 20s when i get a kit..

So these will be up for sale soon

Your wheels make any wheel look boring.

Looks alright, I agree with the drop. It'll set it off better.
