Good move? Or keep what I have?

First off, all opinions welcome. I want to know all of your opinions.

Right now, in the summer, my G rides on a set of DONZ Genovese 20" Staggered wheels (20x8.5 in front 20x10 in back). They are nice, and I got them for a good deal, but I want something different.




Then I found these 19x8.5 in front 19x9.5 in back Axis Super Hiros. For some reason, I like them. However, I don't know how they are going to look on my car. So tell me what you think.

Here is a photoshop of them with a white pinstripe.

The gray on white comb is really washed out and generic looking to me. Stick with the wheels you have now, or even get a set of OEM 19s, they would look better on your car.

They are actually a flat black color with the white pin stripe.

20x8.5 in front 20x10 in back is not staggered. Staggered is having a larger wheel diameter in the back (ie. 19" wheels in the rear and 18" wheels in the front.)

That's incorrect.

Staggered has multiple meanings - it can mean different dimesional size such as 18's in front, 19's in back and also different widths/offsets such as the situation he describes in his original post.

I would vote against the white stip on the rims. I like the yellow Z with it, but the white reminds me of sidewalls, and that takes away from the look. It may look better with an actual pic and setup, but i think just the rims would look awesome. Just my opinion, but very nice ride you got.

well o be honest they are both cheap quality alumin single cast wheels. i would say keep waht you have and buy a decent set of wheels when you have the cash, there is no point o buy another setof cheapy wheels, for a few bucks more you could get into a higher quaility rim, like volk, piaa, maya, asanti, gram light, bbs, racing hart / rh, anything by dazz motor sports, work.

stay away from cheap chinese wheels all they are are heavy and they bend easily. the hiros are nice and axis is a good company, but those companydo is copy the high end wheels to look like they are expensive, go for the good stuff, and dont just buy a wheel, that a different patter, because you jhave the same things already, just in a diffent style

good luck.

if you dont have the funds for big money wheels, get a set of single cast 20" wheels the 19's just dont fill the car out the right way.

+2 for dont fix what isnt broken as far as cast wheels. The donz arent my taste so Im biased but the axis hiros were the first wheel I really wanted for my coupe. However, with the cast wheel weight theres no real point. The axis are over priced in my opinion but thats just me. I like the axis, if you will like your coupe even more then go with them. Grey with a white lip will look hot.

Way too much going on with the Genovese wheels. They belong on a 300M or a SUV, not a coupe. Of these two choices, definetly the Axis wheels.
