I have checked most hi end sites but cant seem to find them. I'm pretty good at figuring out wheels but these have stumped me. I like the five spoke design

Damn really? They look really sweet! ... but I swore to my self I would never again buy 1pc wheels since the last set I had I managed to crack 6 different rims (replaced two org ones) on my old IS300.

Also I thought Axis wheels are just copys of other wheels ...

I didnt think they are milano's at first, 19'' milano's have 4 rivets btw spokes, these had 5...but 20'' milano's have 5 rivets just like these. then with the help of photoshop could just make out the axis name on the center caps!!

iabout 99% sure they are the 20'' milano's w/ custom black centers...as mentioned above...

Damn, they look so much better than the regular Milanos! How much did it cost to get painted and polished?
