How would these look on a 01 GS? as far as offset goes? Wheel Size: 20x9front/20x10rear Offset: 20mm front / 25mm rear [url]http://nomad.liquidweb.com/~need4spe/ebay/axis/penta.jpg[/url] pics. TIA!
Axis... Do you have any other wheels in mind other than axis?
prettymuch here's my dilemma :-D oh joy! so i originaly started looking at the gs's then thought about ls... then i was conviced i was geting a w201 190e, at some point in time i was thinking about a c300 *wtf?*, but im finaly set on the gs. i have a budget of aprox 19k. I'm waiting to find a black on black gs4 in good condition, my plans are to either get a nice set of coilovers or airbags, i want to have the tsurachi look but i need it to be drivable trough modarate bumps and sometimes a ocasional 1-1.5" deep pothole. (It seems after the snow stuck around for a couple weeks the roads are looking more and more like the moon's surface) I want to have as much lip as possible w/o having to roll my fenders (perfered). These caught my eye, and i really like the rim design. I know they're not the best quality but for someone in college on a budget they'll do good for a year or 2... just enough for me to save up for some real baller rims. Any sugestions appreciated. I'm looking to spend aprox 4k on suspension/wheel/tire setup. I know its a pretty tight number but im sure i can find used setups :-D
those axis rims look like Algernon Intelesse...If you want some sort of mesh wheels, I would recommend looking into some Kranze Borphes. I dont want to burst your bubble, but your gonna have to do some fender work to have a flush look. Unless you have some sort of a 4x4 stance or a really stretched tire.

A forged wheel will hold up far better than a cast wheel in any of your situations. Not to mention if you hit something good enough you'll have to buy a new wheel with the cast wheels where with the forged you could just get it fixed, which would also cost far less. Scrap the Axis idea and buy a nice set of used multi-piece wheels.
why dont you look for a used set of NICE wheels.
Or maybe a nice set of OEM wheels *cough G35 10 spokes 19"* [IMG]http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y132/hb2nv/DSC00416.jpg[/IMG]

[/quote] Sorry man but thats no excuse, im in college too full time and I found the time to save up for nice rims, its hard looking at those stockies I know but soon it'll be worth it.
But wait a minute, if i read this correctly he doesn't even have the car yet??? I dunno man, you have to really hustle hard or else get into something else in the meantime, i mean when i order my wheels i know i'm going to be broke but if you can't you can't just walk away and save you're self the drama. Just my 2 cents
Im in college too i kept saving up for a whole year. took me a long time, but it was well worth my patience. i thought about axis one time, but went work instead. something i will never look back on (^_^) V good thing comes to people who wait
hah thanks, well i guess the axis idea is scrapped :) from here on im just gonna tackle the susp 1st after i get the car... yeah thats even a bigger prob. Finding one :-D Anyways thanks for your responce... its nice to see people actualy using forums. I'll keep ya'll posted when i pick her up :) BTW: those g35 rims look clean but i want chicago deep dish style :-D ( Im gonna be putting away about a 100$ a week hopefully, this way it wont take me too long)
save up save up save up.... I just started real work, and am moving out, pile of expenses but I'm still gonna roll stock until I can get the real deal. You can do better than Axis, it's worth the wait.
