Default Is anyone ever going to post silver Axis Hiro pics?!

We get a hundred posts a day of each model Volk wheels on every color car imaginable, yet we can't seem to get some pics posted of the new Axis Hiro's in silver, on any car?

my excitement over these wheels have faded a bit after seeing the real pictures. They look good for a budget wheel, but you can definately tell they are budget.

I've seen pictures of this car with several different Axis models installed... so far I like them all... or is it the yellow?

Can someone please identify the rear side skirt/fairing?

just ordered them in a staggered set up, 8.5 and 9.5 in the rear all of them at 20 offset. i got them with hankook tires for now for 2200 shipped. I'm sick of the milano's so if anyone wants them for 1300 with tires let me know

Milanos for $1300 with tires? Wow, if those were snow tires they could be my winter wheels. That is a bargain!

Someone jump on this deal!

love you too bro,

its all good naw its hard to sell a set of milano's that aren't staggered. thats why they are so cheap. But anyone that is interested let me know.

the specs,

19x8.5 with 35 offset. the wheels are mint condition with 4 brand new tires because some hater slashed my old tires.

anyways i think its a good deal,


but i can't wait till the hiro's

sangwl - just an fyi, the hankooks are in the wrong sizes, that's why the package is such a good deal... they're giving you a 275/30/19, which will mess with your VDC/ABS etc

just wanted to give you a heads up in case that's important... if it's not, congrats on the rims i have the same ones in anthracite and I love 'em... only downside is that I drive in constant fear that one of my fronts are going to bend with those 245/35/19 rubber bands

I agree, but I think the "budget" aspect of these wheels will be refllected in their excess weight.

i always thought the 275/30/19 was the best for the rears, i thought everyone has this set up on the rears.

no?

let me know what you recommend.

Most people have 275/35/19 for the rears. But some have 275/30/19 - more popular in Japan I think. I don't think it will mess with TCS or VDC. You will just have a little more wheel gap.

SangWL:
I noticed you were running 245/35/19 all around on your previous setup... did you have any problems w/ that? VDC activating prematurely? If not then I doubt you'll have to worry about your new tire setup... because a 275/30/19 is only 1% smaller than a 245/35/19. 275/35/19 is the correct size for our rears though. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

Shaeotool:
TCS/VDC expects a staggered height between your fronts wheels and your rear wheels. Rule of thumb is rears need to be 0.25 to 0.75 inches larger than your fronts... if you run a 275/30/19 in the back, your rear tire will actually be 0.3 inches SMALLER than your fronts... causing TCS/VDC to activate prematurely because it thinks your rear wheel is spinning faster than your fronts (it IS) and therefore losing traction.
