Default Axis Wheels Releases Carbon Rim For GT-R

For those of you who werent lucky enough to catch this years SEMA Show in First Person, Axis Wheels Had on Display a set of 20in Carbon rims on there GT-R That i couldnt wait to get pictures of!! They Finally got them out to me today and here they are!!!

Fitments:

20x10 +45mm offset 28lbs each
20x11 +19mm offset 27.6lbs each

20x10.5 +50mm offset
20x12 +30mm offset

Carbon fiber fused lip optional.

Color match or special paint $100 extra per wheel.






I wanted to get some REAL feedback from some Nissan Enthusiasts!! Would you rock these on your GT-R??

NOTE: I was initially concerned with the mounting and dismounting on the carbon fiber.. this is what they had to say which eased my woes: It is completely seamless "fusewrap" including adhesive and heat over the aluminum outer.
It is done in such a way that mounting and dismounting tires (with proper toucheless machine) will not jack up the carbon fiber.

I think they are hot. I think a 5 spoke would have looked better. Like a iforged aero style with the carbon lip.

I'm not sure if I understand, are these supposed to be light? My Iforged Sprints in similar sizes that came out like at least 5 or so years ago weigh less than that. Is this just supposed to be a blingy thing? I guess it won't really matter, we all just saw a GTR on 22's hit the quarter in 10 and some change.

Yea it does kind of have that Decade feel too it with Skinnier spokes? From far away at first i thought they had some crazy CE28's on it but that wasn't the case. As far as i have heard it is only for the GT-R but i will get some updated info for you guys!

Was wondering myself, but re-reading they appear to just be wrapped/overlayed in cf. So definitely blingy.
