Looks good, but I wouldn't do it to the stockers personally.

I like a nice, deep lip.

But nontheless, still looks pretty sweet, and is a much cheaper alternative to buying all new wheels.

Sometimes I wonder what the stock ss rim would look like modified with the face pushed back for a lip.

Me too.

The flat face wheel design makes them appear bigger than they really are.....but at the same time, a nice fat lip always makes a wheel look better IMO.

Can I ask why your staggering them on a FWD car?

Not saying that in a mean way....i'm well aware its been done before (RemedyOne is a good example)....just curious to what made you settle on that idea.

Google "I-Forged RX-7" and tell me what you think of the lip on those wheels.....

Saw that car firsthand parked OUTSIDE HIN in the PARKING LOT last year at HIN DC. He missed the registration deadline for the show so was forced to be a spectator. But that car used to be an HIN flyer/poster car in years past.

I'd get a pic to host but im not on my computer and I don't want to save any pictures to a computer im not supposed to be on....

One Lugs ftw! I like those though. Time attacks look real good on black and dark colors imo. Do it!

you should drop that too...

btw deep dish wheels are the ****. I have black 19" deep dish bullitts on my mach 1 and i couldn't be happier with another wheel. Gives the car a totally different stance and it looks bad ass as hell!

But Axis makes some dope ass wheels. They have their hands in VIP market and even exotic market wheels now.

James Chen, who started Axis wheels years ago is straight baller now, lol. One of his 350Z's was in SCC's Ultimate Street Car shootout a year or two ago, and the cover car of this month's Super Street is Jame Chen/Axis's R35 GT-R. So Axis definitely isn't some no-name wheel brand. Granted, they're no HRE....but their wheels are just as nice as say....Volk....Work...SSR. Just not as expensive b/c they aren't "JDM fresh yo". Import fee's on Volks, Works, SSRs, Advans, 5-zigens, etc etc is what makes them so expensive. Over in Japan, they're just normal cheap wheels like say....R-1, ADR or Tenzo-R's are over here.

And $2,300 for custom drilled 19"s with tires isn't bad. My 19"s with tires were $2,000.
Sorry but comparing Axis wheel to Volk, Work, and SSR is a little over board. Axis wheels have recently stepped up their game but they are far from the quality of those companies. Also Axis doesn't make any wheels even close to as nice as anything those three. Axis makes nice wheels but if I remember correctly didn't you bend a rim or two? That's why you buy forged wheel which most of Volk, Work and SSR are. Yes you pay import charges but I don't mind paying that for something of quality and of course they are cheaper in Japan
