Axis milano or hiro...for my Chrome silver Z??
Post pics please or post any opinions of what you guys think of either one of these wheels on a chrome silver z. i am getting a really good deal on either one of these and i just want them to last me until i get up to baller status.
also...what kind of tires are you guys rocking on 19x8.5f w/ 35mm offset and 19x9.5r w/ 20 mm offset??
thanks for all your help guys...i searched but i could not find exactly what i was looking for. this is actually my second post i believe because i just got my car a few days ago.
thanks again. chris.

Being biased with the Milanos! Hiros are nice also. If you are going with the Milanos, make sure you get the correct offsets. 19x8.5 20 offset and 19x9.5 w/ a 15 offset. I've seen Z's with higher offsets and the wheels did not sit flush with the fender. Getting the right offsets in the begining will avoid the use of wheel spacers later on.
Tires size, i'm running 245/35 in the front and 275/35 in the rear. Some folks are running 30's in the rear which tend to make the wheel gap larger.

axis may not be volk but i have NEVER had quality problems with my hiros and I've hit potholes bigger than your ego

Milanos would be my choice if I had to choose. Post pics when you get them on. Also, once you get up to "baller" status, post again so we can get high quality wheels on your Z

Definitely Milanos if you're willing to wait 2-3 months for them. I was in the process of getting them, but I kept getting jerked around by the people who manufacture the wheels. They will have the fronts in stock (19x8.5) but not the rears (if you're going for staggered fitment... and why wouldn't you?).
Either way Axis seems like a good brand.
BTW, never seen a wheel that didn't bend.
Peace out, and good luck.
I mean just look at xTTer's ride... pure "niceness"

The President of Axis replied to an older thread about the wheels bending! He said that it was just a batch of 100 wheels and they have made hundreds of thousands of wheels through the company's lifetime.
