Default Wheel opinions please

It's for a 2006 GS 300. I'm looking at both the Axis Milano and the Axis Hiro. I like the cleaner look of the Hiro, but I also like the broader spokes and deeper lip of the Milano.

Milanos:

Here's the Hiro:

Thanks guys!

personally I think the 06 GS deserves a lot nicer wheel

consider Work, Volk, SSR, AME, Weds etc

good luck

I have looked at pretty much every wheel manufacturer out there... and my rather picky requirements have limited my selection: 19", 5-7 spokes, no mesh, no chrome, clean (almost factory) looking. I love the factory wheels on the g35 coupe (http://www.infiniti.com/content/0,,c...-52054,00.html) for example

I'm leaning towards the Milano right now, I think the Hiro's look a little too sporty and the spokes are too narrow for the larger GS, but they do look great on a 350z. At first I didn't really like the rivets on the Milano, but it's a compromise since I haven't found anything else.

If anyone has suggestions for other wheels I'm open!

Have you checked out iForged, HRE, DPE? They all make some really clean wheels.
