Texan...those Axis Milanos are nice wheels, Chico earned his Mr 20 nickname around here when his ride was wearing those nice Axis wheels.

Enkei RP03s
I feel silly now--I have gone from wanting a 4" lip/split spoke(axis matrix) to wanting a 2" lip 5 spoke(axis hiro/milano) to NOW wanting a clean looking 5 spoke wheel with no lip(enkei RP03). So here it is on socalteds--It shows depth by the curvature of the spokes--rather than having a lip. Easier to clean b/c it has no rivets or split spokes and weighs only 20lbs for the wheel and looks like a true19"wheel, maybe even 20"ish--b/c lipped wheels look an inch or so smaller. The contrast should compliment my black gsedan (similar to the one shown) the way the current sport rims do. The rear offset is +42 so according to Chico's advice--that should be better.

You wanna hear something crazy...the day I received my wheels I was thinking I should have ordered another set I liked.
Thanks, chico.
Those wheels are nice. When are those bad boys going on?

In fact both car's went with tires that have rounder tire profiles to hopefully help clearance issues. I don't know about you but I refuse pic all season tires to get that type of tire profile. Awesome looking rim, not enough offset to run 275's.

HOPEFULLY SOCALTED CAN CONFIRM THIS
