pentas are some badass looking wheels. I came very close to buying some volks but couldn't decide on a style that I actually liked. I fell love with the way the pentas look so I bought them and it just so happens that I saved an *** load of money for my engine build. If you like them and didn't just settle b/c you didn't have money, you picked a badass set of wheels.

Edit: looks really good with the drop btw

Did you notice a difference in performance? I am probably gonna get these eventually, but Im worried about the extra weight

I just had to put the stock 18's back on and you could definitley feel the difference when cornering. The car sits lower and has a wider stance with these rims. The weight wasn't that bad per rim compared to my stocks

I feel there is a difference in performance off the line but then after 4k rpms it feels quick.

Any regrets or was it worth the slower acceleration?

Exactly. I was going to drop 4k on some PIAAs and glad I didn't. I got the pentas and love them. Every one will have different tastes and a different budget. I for one can not afford to buy a different rim every other month, but to those who can, props.

Car looks great man!

Why would you need to change them every month?

Quote: The difference between a Hyundai and an Infiniti

I guess you haven't seen the new genesis or any of the new hyundai's. The new sonata's interior is actually quite nice along with the azera's. Hyundai has been getting rated very high by all the reviewer's lately.

Also I wouldn't say infinti's build quality is that great. Don't get me wrong, I love my coupe but there are def a lot of things that were overlooked in the design process...ie...all the interior squeaks and rattles, the half-electric seats, the adhesive used on the leather panels...things like that. If you wanna make a comparison use bmw, audi, lexus, even acura. Nissan is in the right direction with Infiniti but still has some catching up to do.

Nice wheels though. I would say Axis are a mid-range wheel company with a good casting process for the most part. Just because a wheel is a one-piece cast doesn't make it bad quality and just because a wheel is a 3 piece doesn't make it amazing. Yes volk and work are nice but there are company's out there that make terrible 2 and 3 piece wheels.

Sorry about the thread jack.

honestly I don't feel a big difference in performance, just a little bit..... I just put mine on Saturday and I love them. The back rim....the lip is crazy wide. I am glad I purchased them.
