Axis Mods

Hey everyone.....thanks to the 5x110 bolt pattern it has been extremely hard trying to find rims that fit. So i decided to start asking questions about redrilling rims. So ive been emailing back and forth with Darren from Axis Wheels and he said that they can redrill rims that will fit the SS. So I went ahead and ordered a set of the 19" Axis Mods black with polished lips. I will post pics and any other info once i receive them. It will about about 2-3 weeks. im just hoping this isnt a bigggggg waste of money.

Yes the car is lowered with the Eibach sportline kit. I paid $1500 for the rims (redrilled and shipped) but overall it was $2300 with Toyo tires.

Tire size is 225/35/19s. And they do offer them in black in 18s. If you email Axis directly they can get you hooked up with a dealer. Darren from Axis is who i went through.

Love the 19s but I have had bad luck with 35 series tires around here. I hit a pot hole 2 different times and bent the hell out of the lip of the rim. guess I am going to go with the 18's Damn Chicago sub streets. I need all the rubber I can get

Anyone familiar with the Axis Reverb series? I saw the 18's listed on the Axis site with 4x100 (base model) for 280ish. They use hollow spokes and I was wondering if anyone has any opinions on it?...
