I'm not a fan of five spokes on the G, but those look fantastic! What a lip!

Well done. How's the ride?

No need to spend 3K and up on wheels when you can look this good on half that. Good job.

Metal used on a given design will vary. Sometimes harder metals are needed to remain structurally sound but this can lead to cracks which is probably what happened to original Hiros. Soft metals bend, hard metals crack. Not every single cast wheel design is made the same so a brand should never be considered suspect if there are a few designs that have had issues.

The whole set up looks great man, I forgot to get some pics yesterday but will next time I see you.

I wish they were high polished like my old wheels. I thought about getting them polished at a shop, but didn't want to mess them up.

Talking Ordered my SHINES

Thanks for the info. Dsskyline - as soon as I get them, which would be on Friday, I will take some pix

Hey D, nice rims, I am actually getting the same ones next week! It was love at first site when Axis first annouced them back in December. Hey I wanted to ask you, what tire sizes are you running with those 20's? I am having a hard time deciding what size tires to get. Let me know!
