Axis Wheel Quality?
i really wanted the Axis GTR bc theyre my favorite looking wheel and also the price was right for me ($1,400 new for 20'' staggered,not including tires). But I've heard that Axis are bad quality wheels and they will bend and crack. Is this true? Are they not worth getting? Will i have a lot of problem with them?
also.... On my last car i have 18'' konig rims, just so i get an idea, how is konigs wheel quality compared to Axis'?

For the money, they are pretty decent quality. Many people on here are happy with their AXIS wheels.
Konigs and axis are very similar in quality. If you are happy with the Konigs, you should also be happy with the axis wheels.
The axis wheels are not lightweight by any means, but they are decent quality and will look good on your car.

I have the Axis Hiro's. I recently found a crack in one of the spokes. Axis said it was because I ordered some of the first wheels production wise and they had a bad batch. They sent me 4 new wheels quickly. As long as they don't crack again, I'll be happy. This problem might only pertain to the Hiro's. I haven't heard of any cracking issues with the GTR's.

It's quite unfair to Axis to even try and compare their product to a VOLK wheel. They are targeted at 2 very different enthusiasts.
