Axis Penta vs. Matrix

Which do you like better on a BS 05 coupe...

option 1: axis Penta in silver http://www.maxspeed-motorsport.com/c...%20%20wddd.jpg

axis penta in hyper black http://www.machiii.net/images/wheels/Axis/PENTA.jpg


option 2 : axis matrix in silver http://www.modbargains.com/images/Pr...Matrix_G35.jpg

axis matrix in hyper black http://www.maxspeed-motorsport.com/c...atrix%20cc.jpg

Sorry for the links =(

Also, does Axis make a quality wheel for the price? Anyone have experience or know about these wheels and their quality?

The 20" offsets are better for the coupe than the 19". The wheels are good for the price, main downside I see is the lips are usually a machined finish and not everyone's favorite but even the volk anodized lips take some care in the cleaning.

I like the Pentas over the Matrix.

Yeah im leaning towards the pentas and im also leaning towards the silver and not the hyper black for a BS coupe. idk why but im not too into mixing and matching colors with wheels and rims.

Thanks for your input =)

edit: spelling

I believe they only come in 1 color. It's darker but not black.

This was when I was checking TPMS fitment on the Axis wheels


On a DG coupe

Oh okay, thanks for clearing that up. How do you like them? Quality good? I know they arent the most expensive wheels by far but whats your opinion? And what color car do you have them on?

Thanks, Sbeck
