Default Axis Milano Type

Axis Milano's are one of my favorite wheels for the Z. However, they only come in 19's on their website and are pretty expensive. Does anybody know any wheels that looks EXACTLY like the Axis Milano's that are cheaper and/or come in 18's?

Do these wheels look cheap at all in real life? They seem to be kinda dull on some pix... if not, this is a good lookin wheel!

Reading up on axis, I guess they are not as great as I thought. Anybody know any better rims with a very similar design that are forged or more durable?

Those are just a knockoff of a Maya rim. Not sure exactly which one. I'd say if you think Axis is expensive you might as well stick with them...because as far as 350Z wheels it doesn't get much cheaper.

For the price, you can't go wrong. You can get them a lot cheaper than their site advertises. I have them on my other ride and they have a nice shiny finish.

im very happy with my axis milanos. great bang for the buck! they look very sharp, arent slug heavy like most cheaper/replication wheels & are extremely affordable for 19" staggered offset wheels. i got mine for $2500 loaded with toyo t1s shipped to my door from cali to florida. mine were purchased early this year so i believe there are even better deals now...you can always choose a more affordable tire to keep costs down as well......

Not too bad for weight.
Quick question: what do the stock 18" Z and G wheels weigh?
(I have a G35 with 18" wheels and am looking for a comparison. I know somebody has mentioned the weight before, but I am having a brain cramp--can't remember).

Niiiiiiiiiiiice. I'd prefer 18" due to the lighter weight, but I might end up with these Milanos. Very clean, great looking, and probably not a pain in the butt to clean.

Nice, that last pic really changed my opinion. Any of you milano guys got pictures of the whole car with the wheels?
