i don't understand why people thing the ride is going to change drastically with bigger wheels. They're so much wider that the shock produced by the size will be trumped by the extra tire surface contact.

well, thats my pitiful attempt at interpreting the available information with my high school physics knowledge.

haha, thanks man, they are gorgeous. You would best e-mail Axis to get a custom set drilled in 5x110. I think someone said they paid 2600 with tires. You DO NOT want to know what kind of money i am spending to run a 5x114.3 pcd.

they cost me about 1500 including shipping. The modifications needed to run them cost me much much more.
