do you mean the ATP wheels? those look sharp but dont they have the same lip front/rear? i could be thinking of somthing else.....

ya know i just remembered somthing. shortly after i purchased my wheels i ran across a set that looked exactly like them just with a different centercap for even cheaper than the milanos. im going to see if i can locate them again. i mean identical. mabey a tad low quality(not sure just guessing) but the wheels were over $100 less per wheel & they were 19's.......just wanted to bring that up for those interested in these wheels on tight budget........i remember being pissed, like i was overpaying for my wheels, though i knew i was still getting a good deal for 19" wheels......ill locate them & post them here for those interested!

Justin,
Thanks for your research on this. I'd love to find the brand name at least--then I'll do some digging to find out what the quality is like. details of how they look, pricing, etc.

i just searched for about an hour & couldnt find them. i remeber back before i purchased my milanos i searched like crazy making sure i was getting the right wheels. even after i made the purchased i kept searching while i was awaiting the arrival of my wheels, this is when i ran across them. it was just a fluke thing. i happened to se the wheel design & clicked on the image & was surprised it was identical & i mean identical to the axis milano wheel but had a different centercap. i freaked thinking i made a huge mistake purchasing the axis wheels but when i recieved them i forgot about everything in the world. big 19" axis wheels loaded with toyo tis tires sitting in my driveway....i never looked back. im big on wheels & have heard of many wheel manufacturers, i remeber this name being an odd manufacturer name, some chinese name that i never heard of. im going to keep searching to see if i can locate them, its driving me nuts now.....

i also have some crappy pics i shot with the dig cam in my cell, ill load them but the quality sux...lol!

Pics don't do this wheel any justice. I think they're one of the best wheels dollar for dollar. I came so close to buying them. The only two things that stopped me from buying them was
1. the weight
2. the offsets
Besides that, they look totally hawt!

What is the weight difference between your Nismos and the Milano?

whats wrong with the offsets? they offer several offset from 40mm to 15mm. i have 15mm front & 20mm rear. they sit flush with the fenders as you can see from a couple of the pics i just posted. if you like them more tucked in you can always go for 30 or 40mm if you like that type of look!

Kind of interesting. I'm trying to find how much it weighs.

Haven't had any luck yet on a search. I'm going to try Tire Rack again.

Tire Rack has them with a gray or a bronze spoke, and the lips are polished. Are you sure it was the Speed Star?

Ah, yes. Just saw that on the web site--it looks kind of like the Milano, but you can get black, silver or bright satin. That's the SP1 model.

Axis is a good brand. No major problems from the owners I know who have these wheels. Affordable too... I recommend them.

Here are some on eBay. I have not even checked prices, so not sure if this is any good. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...%3AWN%3AMT%3A1

if you go to the axiswheels.com website & click on the dealers link you can find numerous distributors for the wheel. you can probably locate a dealer in your state. when i purchased mine it seemed everyone was out of stock on them for some reason, then the ones that did stock them were way overpriced. i started down the line of dealers & called for availability & pricing.......theres a bunch of axis distributors!
