For a while, it was all about the deep lip look for me. I've owned about 10+ sets of rims with big lips ranging from Maya, Racing Hart, Volk, Work (Meister 19x11 +17), and SSR (MS1 19x11+9). Anyhow, Andy@Performance approached me with going concave. I was skeptical at first, but figured why not? The Z platform looks good with either deep dish or concave.

These are the new Five:AD wheels from Five Axis designs. They're the group who has been making one off Scions for a while now but is looking to get into the Nissan market. My car is the only Nissan with these wheels in the world right now. We did the debut yesterday at the Performance Nissan Meet and I was in both Fixe Axis and Vertex booths.

The rim is called "FiveAD S5:F" Matte Gunmetal 19x 9.5 +35 and 19x10.5 +33. For now, I'm running Project Kics 15mm spacers in front and 20mm spacers in the rear. The show was great since Five Axis was able to talk to wheel companies such as SSR, AME, and Edde@Mackin to get their feedback. Needless to say "fitment" was the biggest issue and they will work on that before all out production. Hopefully, getting a good offset with no fender work for the Z and G35 guys by the next production order. I know this may not be for everyone but it just gives us another good option for wheels.






Here's Casper Canul in the Fixe Axis booth on the left. He saw my car and wanted to see what it looks like on his 240. Casper may run the wheels very soon in Formula D and Five Axis will be making custom 18's for his car.

those are hawt! damn!

what suspen are you sitting on?

 

Very nice!!! Really like those wheels!!!

 

Thank you sir! They're Eibach Pro- Kit springs.

 

sick wheels im looking foward to buy those wheels when they come out

 

damn, those SSR's didn't last long haha.

the new rims look decent, i hope when they work out the offsets they add more concavity to the rims!

 

Yeah, the offsets were the very first thing I mentioned and they're working on it as we speak. For my car I'm looking to get them around +10 all around with an even more "Sunk Face" look front and rear. But for production they may keep it conservative in the low +20s.

 

Wheels look real good.

 

Damn!!! I love the way your car sits.... and those shews are hawt!!!

 

your car looks great as always, but I'm not feeling those wheels at all I'm not a lip ***** and dig the concave look, but these look a little too...bland, I guess? Not trying to be negative though man, I'm sure eeveryone can appreciate a new wheel style (and your personal input on proper fitament).

 

No problem moforeynolds. I'm sure this rim isn't for everyone and I'm not here to convince you otherwise. This style is for people who like this paricular style. I'm glad Z owners have so many choices to customize our cars. With this rim, it just gives you one more option to make our car look good.

There's a style for everyone.

 

i want these! Whats the time frame till release, and a more sunken face look would be sick. hopefully theyll offer a bright gunmetal color.

Any clue on the price range?

 

loooooooooooking good MEL!!!!

 

looks good!

 

those are definitely one of the nicest wheels I've ever seen

 

Wow those rims are so ugly...
From Volk to axis? Feel bad for ya man. Looks like you took those rims off a truck and painted them. Sorry?

 

Wow, I like it alot. Very well done.

 

Five Axis and Axis wheels are two different companies. Sorry, not everyone can afford baller parts like you right...?

 

i think i like deep dish on your car better.

 

Great new look.
