Five Axis has a relaly strong reputation in the industry for quite a while now, and have been involved in some very neat project cars over the years

nice clean and unique design

 

i just wish they had a few more designs. they're a spoke design is a bit thin for me. otherwise, they're great looking wheels and as for the price, who could complain?

 

FIVE:AD actually has a wide array of model's but this is the only model that they have for the Z/G fitment as of right now. The FIVE:AD site should launch by the end of this month.

 

If I am not mistaken the whole offer is here

Forged R6 will fit Z nicely.

 

Yup, but they will be launching a whole different site just dedicated to the FIVE:AD brand. Trust me, they're my client for my company and we are building their site as well as doing some consulting work, LOL!

 

It stilol come out to 1,480 +880=2,360 And those are 220 each tire. Not the best you can get. Whats the point?? just different wheels to me for about 1,000 more you can get volks/works/gram/ect.

 

R6:F_spec=1,000 a peice. just called them up and asked. And that's the only forged aluminum. -1 for me, but maybe some more information will change my mind.BTW Retail on R6:F is 190 each. Seems to cheep? :weird:

 

dont judge a wheel on its price, judge it on looks, brand, and process of being made.

 

Look out the "Volkhuggers" are going to come after you now

 

Are you kidding me lol???? I have never hear of them or anything like that at all nor any of my 10 friends that I just asked. Who in there right mind would pay 4k for rims without tires.??? If they were carbon fiber or the lightest wheels in the world ... maybe. other than that its ridiculous for 4k on a brand that is not that popular.

 

uh its a new brand. its already well respected in the industry, go read a book! (btw i would never spend 4 grand on any wheels except Gram Lights)
they partner up with companies like scion and lexus and help promote items.
i love their widebody murdered out lexus.

 

That makes it worst that they are new lol Well all was i am saying is that 4k is crazy who would buy that? not even that good looking. and the other one is 190 each rim 9.5/18 and 10.5/18? cheep IMO whats the difference between that wheel and Rotas? cheaper than rotas with a little different design.

 

The company itself is not new, and has actually been around for about a decade now, doing concept car design and fabrication for large corporate clients such as Toyota. They are a design and engineering firm by trade, that now recently began offering products for normal retail sale. There is a whole history posted on their site if you take the time to look.

 

^ will do so right now

 

man i hate this crap.......this forum is full of B i t c h z' that dont know the first thing about a wheel other than a brand name........

everyone on here for some unknown reason believes that you have to spend 4k to get a good built wheel.......dumb azz'es...

I track the hell out of my car.....drift/autoX/ etc........beat the crap outta wheels, not just on the track but with multiple tire changes, loading and unloading on trailers, etc.......

I DARE one of you 4k idiots to let me use your wheels at my next drift event! see if they hold up.........

for example....tons of people by MB Weapon wheels for track use.....what are those....like 140 a wheel....that is one great built wheel, light weight (18ish lbs) and would choose that any day over spending 4K on volks........

I will shed some light for you, you see this small A-TECH logo on those wheels? ATECH is a japanese company producing really good wheels http://www.marukanet.co.jp/a-tech/index.html . Since they are not present on US market, MB has probably set up a deal with them to sell them under different brand in the US (similar deal was set up by Axis with Rays). So why they cost 140 a wheel? Because MB is selling them with really small profit marging, they want sell huge rather than get huge profit margin. Oh and ATECH wheels are not gravity casted like you normal low end rims, they are low pressure casted (far superior technology). Do not compare those wheels to other cheap brand like Rotas, as they pricing is not an effect of cutting down on costs and stealing designs like Rota does but company's strategy

BTW, if you don't believe compare ATECH's lineup with MB's one, you will see the same wheel models there. MB are exactly the same thing as your tight JDM stuff.

 

It's amazing how some people are so thick-headed. Some people just don't get it.

 

Pretty nice and unique design. I would definelty rock these. With the thin spoke design, a BBK is a must.

 

FYI - Z/G fitments will be released within the next 4-6 weeks. I have received a lot of inquiries about this wheel so those of you that are ready to go, we can take pre-orders for now.

 

Not bad at all!
