Just called Axis Headquarters in CA. They told me that they have a delivery confirmation for the Hiro's and they will have the container tomorrow. Sounds positive, but you never know.

Oh, no, look out, looks like people are being lied to, and it continues. Bad customer service, lies, lack of communication, lack of details, no call backs, etc..... where is Customer Service wheel police.
I have heard similar issues with other brands (HRE, Volk/mackin, iForged), but so far iForged is the one that gets trashed the most. Interesting.

22" wheels??? on a car? I think 19s are as big as anyone should go on a 350/G35c, 22" would look absurd.
Those offsets are sweet though, I'm jealous now. I could have had those wheels in a perfect offset for less than my Axis Supermesh. Oh well, I'm happy.

Ok, I have a stupid question.... What do these offsets mean? Isnt there just one kind that will fit? If not which one do i buy? Does the lip get bigger with different offests? I read the post on offsets but still confused. Someone please help...

hahaha zeroday... i feel for you man 
but what i heard... from the guy on the phone from Axis headquarters in Cali was that the hiros would be, and I quote, "arriving in 3 weeks or so"...
... BUT there's always a possibility that he could be trying to help the PR situation by not promising something sooner

pearl430 - what offsets will you be running?
as far as I know, the 18x8.5 will be +35 offset... i originally wanted to run 18 fronts and 19 rears but changed my mind after finding this out...

This explains some wheel basics.
http://www.needforspeed.co.uk/htmlpages/TechWheels.htm
Basically, a lower offset number means that it's going to push the wheel edge further out away from the car, hence making it more flush with the fender well. If you go too far you will risk rubbing problems and also can cause camber problems as you are pushing the weight of the wheel further out.
