Default NEW WHEEL! 18" Axis Reverb

So there was plenty of hype for the Axis Hiros which came out about a month ago (I was one of them, I bought a set in anthracite )... but here's another new rim that came out for 2004 in staggered fitment too

Axis Reverb 5x114.3
18x8.5
18x9.5
Gold or black spokes with a polished center/lip







Not sure if it comes in offsets for the Z, but apparently it's a light weight track wheel... cheaper than the Hiros too... James maybe you can comment?

Some reason they remind me of GT4's and ADVAN's.

Smile Cast

Are they Forged

Or just Cast?

if you look closely at the back of the wheel, you can tell they are cast.

I think they look better than the Hiros, wonder why there are NO 19"????

Hollow wheel I would assume means that the inside of the spokes are hollow?

actually they do, they just source them out. They make a se7en 3 piece that is forged.

I like the black ones but they don't make 19's. Weird. I've been looking for some nice black 5 spokes, do you folks think some custom black painted Volk SF Challenges would look good on a CS Z?

Anyone know the offsets, also I wonder why the black has the white axis logo and the gold does not. Wonder if you could get the black without the logo. the offsets are key though, I'm sure there light.
