I am not, but I would like to see Rotas compared to Axis.

Volks didn't win, 5zigen did - budget wheels, only $15 more expensive than Halos

Check out the article before judging it, I am mentioning it because it is a pretty nice writeup. BTW you will find other answers there.

Alright, ill check it out as soon as i can get the hell outta work...
Why were Volks in a "budget wheels" test?

Suprised 5Zigen won, perhaps the FN-01RC?

Yep, it was FN-01RC. It is "forged vs. casted" test, rather then budget wheels only. There are 5 wheels in the test - Volk CE30, SSR Type-F, AME TM02, 5Zigen FN01R-C, Axis Halo, same size, same offsets (where possible).

OP = Fial

This thread is humorous. OP asks for opinions about the wheels, everyone says teh ghey, OP says "your opinions don't matter" and buys them anyway...

when purchasing wheels, offset is a pretty important detail...

If you're gonna be spending a good amount on something, you should at least try to get the BEST out of it! I woudlnt settle for offsets that high...thats dumb when you can spend the same amount on wheels with PROPER offsets. Be a better buyer and spend your money effectively instead of going back and "redoing" it.

Screw it, just put spacers and call it a day! I keed I keed. Offsets really "off set" your car!

Edit: 9.5 +40 with a 25 mm spacer would be 9.5 +15 = 10.5 +28 ? someone correct me if im wrong, so i think you might want a 30mm or 35 I dont know..

Pick your brand. Pretty much EVERY wheel company out there makes a wheel in this style. I suggest you

And i would reword sentences like: "if YOU find some please post"... This is a help forum not a "do your work for you" forum.
Of course if you like i accept money order and Paypal only.

I wouldnt have asked if i didnt already search. Besides that, not EVERY wheel company makes a wheel in that style with a better offset. I actually found none under $2000.
