I am all for concaveness but I do not see much concaveness on those wheels IMO... As of now, I like your old setup better.

I'd love to see this wheel in other colors. Any idea what shades will be available, like the bronze on their Lexus IS concept car?
So far looks like the colors will be Silver, Bronze, and Matte Gunmetal.

It's all good, I'm not even trying to compete with the level of hot cars here in Los Angeles. They blow me out of the water, no matter what wheels I have. My intention with this thread is to show a new style of wheel from an innovative company such as Five Axis Designs.

i really like those wheels very different. most people get the same damn wheels and copy each other i like the look, nice. I think if the wheels where a different color i think even more peopl would like them better because it would make your car stand out a bit more.

Whattup Alberto! They're lighter than the Meister but just as heavy as the SSR MS1. I haven't had a chance to weigh them yet but I'll let you know when I do.

It's there but very subtle right now because of the offset and disk size. As soon as they adjust to a more aggressive setup, it will be much more noticeable.
