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

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?

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.
