The rims are cheapies. They'll probably be ok as long as you don't hit too many deep potholes.

Oh yeah whoever said that Axis Hiro's Crack a lot is wrong.
I have had 19" Axis Hiros with 30 series tires on the front and 35 on the back.
Driven on them for about 5,000 miles now. No problems! I've hit some good bumps too.

Don't get TOO hung up on names here folks. The bottom line is that unless you're talking about forged or two/three peice then a lot of wheels are just that, wheels. You think your axis or whatever are really THAT much better than these knock offs? Why? I bought a set of those cheapo 20's from ebay for my Pathfinder. Guess what, 20,000 miles later and lots of driving in Queens, NY pothole ridden streets and they look brand new minus some small curb rash.

Is that coach bag REALLY worth $800 vs. the $25 knock off that looks identical? How about Cheerios vs. the local supermarket knock off. Generic aspirin vs. Tylenol? You get the picture... why are rims so much different?
