Cool My New 22" SPINNERS!!!

HAH! I bet you guys thought I was another Rollin' Soldier.

Well, I hate to dissapoint, but I don't have spinners. I do, however, have a nice set of 19" Anthracite Axis Hiros

I took some photos today, yet again utilizing the video camera as I don't have a still camera. The pictures are supposedly 2 or 3MP but the 720x480 part is starting to irritate me.











The tires are Toyo Proxes T1-S. They have much better wet traction than the RE-040s and also give much more audible warning before they let go of the pavement. I haven't had a lot of opportunity to drive in the dry yet but I do not think they hold the road quite as well as the stock tires, which had a much lower treadwear rating.

Supposedly we are using a nice DSLR to take good photos of this car and an S2000 this week or weekend. If any of those photos come out good I will post them.

Let me know what you think!

Cheers,
Richard

Wow, looks good!

I bet the 22" Spinners would have looked about as slick.

Great wheels, great pics - the 2nd one from the bottom makes your Z look like a 911... not a bad thing!

Here's some more steamy low-res action from the lake around sunset...also featured is Conceyted of these forums. Dave079 carelessly drove his car into a Jetta earlier this week so it's in the shop...LEARN TO DRIVE DAVEY!!!













The first one is probably my favorite angle of the car. There are more but I'm too lazy.

Have any of you guys heard of Axis having a reputation for making cheap (low quality) wheels? Some ricer on another one of my forums made a really harsh comment about the quality of these wheels being LOW. I was under the impression that Axis made good wheels and stood behind them, and that they have been moving up in the world in terms of quality (approaching Volk). The Hiros seem to be pretty light to me, forged, and are really high quality considering a lot of the utter ricer rubbish I have seen around...

Please enlighten me. Zeroday, what do you think? Are these things Volk quality? I was able to compare my wheels to a set of TE37 and I didn't see any real differences...
