guys..axis are made in places other than japan(such as thailand and other places), hence the cost of production is lower..and the price is cheaper..not saying they are lesser quality, just the reason for lower price

Brand, those Axis do look real sweet... Really sweet... And on that Silver GS.. OMG!!!! Your killing me here... I have this feeling before summer rolls around I'm going to have like 4 extra sets of wheels sitting in my garage.. $1,900. for the 20's, I wonder if I got 19's.... I hate you guys... And that Sliver GS..... :eek:

Hey shop the other 2 rims you want on another silver GS and see which ones look the best... For me atleast....

Hey Trance...YEAH he said with a Down Payment he would have the rims here in 5 Business days. If interested You could send me a down payment and I could do it for you if your interested. Or if you want I could give you their #. Let me know, I'd love to see these puppies in 20's.

Youre right they arent Axis sevens, they are Axis Muse.


Future, thanks for the info.I am still not sure what to do.From the pictures on Axis' website the lips appear to not be that high of a polish.Notice the lips on the gettins appear almost chrome, but the SevenMOD appear to be more of a brushed aluminum look=no good.The two pictures that 400DGRZ posted the MOD and the real Axis seven three piece, do the lips on the real three piece(second pic) look like a different finish to you? Shinier in a way? I emailed Axis but no reply yet.The second pic the lips almost look chrome. Anyway, thanks again for the info.
