^thank you. dude, I was in the same boat as you. I just picked up a set of wheels for a killer price. I'm not saying which ones yet b.c. it's a secret, but you'll find a nice set for 2500 with tires.

I've been looking for about 2 years now and finally picked up a set recently after finding the perfect deal

You're right. it absolutely is low-budget. Go for a nice used set instead. That should be right around $2-3K

I think the Pentas are a very good looking set of rims. However Axis, as a brand, is cheap. The company was initially founded on knocking off higher end brands. They are on par with stuff like Konig or TSW and the other various cheaper brands in terms of overall quality, weight, strength, etc. Nothing wrong with their business model except for the fact that Axis tries to charge more than the other cheaper brands.

I speak about this from experience of owing a set of Axis rims. Every one of my cars have had aftermarket rims. The only rims I ever had issues with were Axis. The rims cracked - twice. Then the clear coat started to come off. Then the logo on the center cap peeled off.

If you want the Pentas, that's fine. They'll look great on your car. Just recognize that you are giving up a significant level of quality when compared to Work.
