Default Axis Shines...What do you think????

hey guys i have the chance to get some 20" Axis Shines for my Z for a great price. The front are 20x8.5 and the rear are 20x10. and the offset i believe are 25mm or 20mm. Anyways i had them test fitted and here is the pic. I was wondering what you guys think about how they look verse the black wheels. Thanks guys

the black wheels is what i have now the axis is what i could have for very cheap

i was also thinking that if i get the axis that i will maybe powdercoat them black

Some will say Axis wheels crack and are cheap and you should buy Volks.

Some will say 20's are crap.

Some will say 20's rule.

Some would say they would look better if they were 18's or 19's.

Some will say you need to stretch the tires and run 1.5" wheel spacers to get the flush look, which is actually over flush.

Some may ask about an unrelated mod done to your car and ask nothing or comment on the wheels at all.

Me I don't care but none of them are right or wrong.

You like them?

well me im still trying to decide. I always thought that axis was a pretty good name brand wheel. But im a fan of the black wheels on my car but i think the axis also look good and may look good painted black, i like both but i also want everyone elses opinion. Yay or Nay

Some will your post was crap, most will agree.

OP: Not a fan of the shines, but I do like the color combo. I think it looks better than the all black wheels you got going on right now. If its cheap and you like it, why not. Atleast if it's cheap you can change your mind later w/o losing a lot of $$.

Axis shines look damn good my homeboy has them...wouldn't suggest 20 unless you have bigger rotors though because there is alot of dead space between the spokes

well i say cheap. He is asking 900 bucks for all four rims and 3 brand new nittos tires. One tire needs to be replaced due to a puncture. But i didnt think it was a bad price for 3 new tires and 4 axis rims

20 is too big if your looking to go any faster than u already are. 20's take power to roll.. and weight yikes.

id say no and wait till u find some 18's.. or buy em.. use em for a month.. and sell them to a newb for double
