Default Want to find: Aerospeed GBX-5's. Help!

Anyone know where i can pick up a set of Aerospeed GBX-5's? They are replicas of the Axis Hiro.

I saw a bunch of pics and threads from a year or so ago, but nothing since.

Looking for the 19x8.5 and 19x10.5. Hoping for a decent offset. 06 350Z.

Hope they are still out there.

Replica's of Axis wheels? I didn't even know there was such a thing...

+1 on noodleman's comment...why not just buy the Axis Hiro's? I wouldn't trust arospeed for an intake much less wheels that support my car and life.

I'm a froogle bastard.

As I am flipping a house right now, and I'm 24, I'm looking to spend under $1,300 on rims/tires and not $2500+.

I'm cheap. Sure I'd love to roll on some Volks or a nice set of Works, but I just don't want to spend that much. Flame me if you want, I'd rather have nice rims AND a Samsung 52" on my wall.




Plus I'm married......you try and justify $2,000+ for round pieces of metal to my wife and I'll buy you some rims too.

Nevermind guys.

I found a set of Axis Hiro used for $1,200 with Perelli rubber. 19x8.5 and 19x10.5. Going down to Fla to pick them up.

No knock off's for me.

They're trying to tell you Axis Hiro is replica of Advan TCII... I really don't care, but it looked like you missed this connection.

OEM Rays 19's off of a g35 coupe can be had for ~$1k with tires. Forged, lightweight, and still good looking for less than the arospeed cr@p.

So im confused...now Axis makes replicas? So does that mean that the replica Arospeed GBX's and JAZ Hero's are both replicas of "replicas"? So if i have 19" Hiro's, i have knockoffs of the discontinued 18" TC2's? lol, stfu.

They did since the beginning, it is now when they have stepped up with some of their own designs.

At least you get 4 round pieces of metal instead of 1........tell the bish to look at the 4th finger on her left hand.

Sorry you live in augusta.......I hate that city with a passion. Parents still live in Aiken so I travel back there every now and then but avoid agusta like the plague.
