Default How are Axis Milano's?

Cast wheel, more of a smooth style than a race type wheel. Here's the Milano on redline https://my350z.com/forum/2003-2009-nissan-350z/214292-my-old-z-is-gonna-be-back-on-the-market-soon.html

They're not a light wheel, but they're strong, they look great, the finish is durable, and they're easy to clean. I really like the lip and the offset on them. That's my old car in the thread rookie posted.

If you do, these are not a great choice. Too heavy, and I while I have no reason to doubt them, I wouldn't choose their strength over that of a good forged wheel.

I'm gonna get into racing starting next year. Its something I wanted to do ever since I was a kid, and I finally own a raceable car now. So I guess I need a lighter wheel? What's light and looks hot?

Any forged wheel from Volk is probably good. Those are some strong wheels.
