Default Fresh pics of my Newly installed Axis Hiros!

I just installed some 19" Axis Hiros in Anthracite with a polished lip. They're 8.5 in the front and 9.5 in the back, and they have 20/25 offset. I put on 245/35/19 and 275/35/19 Toyo T1-R's. Very good tire so far. Much more quiet than my old tires. Wearing very well with 2K miles on them.


Please post some comments! I just took these pics today at the local park.

Now you just need to lower it and put a camber kit on it.

I still remember the first pictures I took of my Hiros =)

No doubt the best and worst mod I've ever done to my Z by far.

Best becuase of looks, worst becuase I can't stop cleaning them. I've had them for 1.5 years and they still look great. they're a lot of work but boy do they still look great!

If I remember right they're about 1lb lighter then the stock 17s they're around 24lbs each.

That's being pulled from the back of my head from 1.5 years ago when I was researching them. I paid something like 2400 with tires and shiped.

Thanks for ALL the feedback!

I got my wheels for $1150 shipped and I got my tires for $860. They mounted and balanced it for free.
So I guess out the door I got the whole set for $2,000 roughly.

I've had them for about 1,500 miles. So far, there's nothing wrong with them! I get compliments all the time. =)

Just curious, why a camber kit? Is it for looks or performance?

The Hiro is one of the best looking wheels on the Z. It's clean and just has a nice overall fit with the Z's design. Nice!
I believe that they're about 27 pounds each (depending on width)--on the heavy side.

I got my Hiros for $1250 shipped. 19x8.5 front and 19x10.5 rear. I got my tires for $508 shipped. 245/35/19 front and 285/30/19 rear. Then it was $180 for a local shop here to take the tires of my stock 17's, remove the TPS sensors, remount the tires to the stock wheels with 4 new valvestems, mount the TPS sensor in the new wheels, mount the tires, balance the wheels, and a set of tuner lug nuts with key.

Total: $1,938

Cant beat it with a stick!

Very good eye man. Someone tried to take my bracket!!! They bent my license plate up at a 45 degree angle. Good thing I didn't have the tow-hook bracket. Atleast they didn't key my car.
