I could picture those on a S500 bens, or perhaps a 7 series BMW.. Not a SC....

sorry

Get these and I'll be your best friend!! 18s or 19s would look HOT!

There's too much going on in those rims you have picked out, check the last one on IronCobra's post on any SC.

Interesting style, if your going for "bling" then do it, however, in my opinion there are much classier wheels for our cars...

Also- those sizes will look WEAK- wider and lower offsets are a must (once again, IMO).

^ Agree'd all of the wheels posted thus far will look pretty weak as far as size/offset goes.

Guys, they were examples... There arn't exactly pictures of every offset of every wheel that is made. Gosh, you all are harsh.. Here are some ideas

I think for the price and the quality, they are great! just my opinion though..

Price and quality?

Do you know how much those axis wheels cost? To get them in nice size/offsets you'll be paying 3k plus. Not to mention 1/2 of those wheels you posted are prototypes. Meaning, they don't actually make that size/offset for the public.

As far as quality goes, Axis is cast junk, period.

And also, sometimes the truth is harsh... but it's still the truth. Also, the guy ASKED what people thought of the wheels, so that means he WANTS us to tell him what we think. I think everyone here would be doing him a disservice by being "nice" and saying they like the wheels just so we don't come off as "harsh".

Can you prove in ANY WAY that Axis "cast" alloy is junk? I doubt this is ANYTHING other than your own personal opinion, which you have been voicing to some extend recently.

You say rude and uncalled for statements in your criticism and it is below the standards that most members of Clublexus hold themselves to. You make it sound as if any opinion of yours is everyone else's on the board. You need to change your attitude or you are going to have many members not wanting you to hang around here anymore.

This is not your typical "fight" or "Public" forum, people here respect each other. Be polite and courteous when giving your opinion or leave.

I hope the moderators don’t think I’m speaking out of hand by saying this either.

Can I prove Axis wheels are CAST? Yes. Can I prove they are junk? Do you kow anything about wheels? I'll leave it at that.

Ah another forum etiquette lesson . I am within the rules here at CL. I'm not degrading anyone. If you don't like what I post don't reply. You posting this in this guys thread HAS NOTHING to do with the topic. You SHOULD have pm'ed me. I've been around longer than you think, I know how things work around here.

OR you could try and not get so offended when you don't agree with somones opinion. Stop taking everything so personally. I'm sorry, Axis wheels are junk, just stating the obvious.

I think these wheels are sick. If you are going for a aggresive look, these fit the bill.They would look awesome with the Signature Aero kit that a lot of people didn`t like either.Don`t listen to the herd! If you want to be unique, you can`t let everyone influence you. You wouldn`t be asking these guys what cloths to were would you? Dress your ride the way you want to dress it.
Conformity sucks. Be unique. Let your ride reflect you.
