Here u go! Looks very much like Volk GT-V. Looks good, but I dunno. Something about having look-a-like wheels just doesn't seem right.

fawk, sorry for the repost...i'm on 5 different forums at the same time replying!!!

anyway, direct from their site:

they're a super similar design to the Volk Racing GT-V's:
heres NRG G35's IP cp:







as far as Axis quality....let's just say they have come a long way. they don't match up to Rays, Work, Advan, etc. they're a bit on the RH Evolution side (not the JDM version, Racing Hart). they're a tad bit more prone to damage than the better quality ones. the fact they come in 20's is pretty geez. also, the weight for them isn't too bad.

theres no need to worry about offset because Axis has a set offset for the G35/Z. as far as tires go, what are your objectives?

did you mean, 245/35 instead of 245/30? you'll be fine with 245/35 fr, and 275/35 rr. since you aint lowering, you should go with the 35 series rear to help cover the cliff hanging tire gap.

This is a new wheel along with the penta. I'm torn with the lookalike feeling too. Its basically about a 1K difference...

Im trying to avoid that stretched sidewall look. I want the tire to be square with the lip... Is this achevable with a 10.5" rear or will the tire always be stretched out?

yes, just run a 285 rear. a 275/35 in Toyo/BF will get you the squared/flat looks as well. certain 285/30's also get you this look as well.
