Actually I had the Hiros in 9.5 and 10.5, and now I have Works, it's about quality, ever heard of the Hiro's cracking... MANY MANY have, that's one reason why I ditched them, other reason being is they are HEAVY. Seems by the BBK your going for some performance, true? If so then it defeats the purpose in having heavy wheels, No one said run out and buy Volks, but there are much more quality brands out there.

Just my .02, as for the douche comment, would love to see the quality of your Z, low intelligence person like yourself must have a stellar looking car. Just make a new post about it if you want to call names, don't screw up Justin's post with your blabbing retardedness of a comment.

My axis have cracked. I didn't mean to make you butt hurt. I figured if you could throw it out then you can take it. I have the Axis because they are great on the Z. Just my .02 cents bud
