Default axis pentas

any feedback from these rims in terms of quality, status, etc...?

also, i seem to only find them in hyperblack, has anyone seen them in silver or polished?

on ebay, they have these rims as fitting different types of cars (not named the is350). would rims off of any of these fit the is350 nicely; G35/350Z, M5, RX-8, GS430, SC300?

thanks for any help.

Saw them in Hyper Black on a black 525xi yesterday... the guy driving it had a set that were WAAAAAAAYYYYY too wide for the wheel wells so they looked ridiculous...

in regards to coloring and style, I thought they were hot if only they were sized better on the bimmer.

I would call Axis an upper middle quality wheel. They aren't forged, but have pretty good quality and the price is pretty reasonable. They're not cheapy wheels, but they're not Work, Volk, HRE, etc. quality or price.

If you got Axis' site, hyperblack is they only finish the have listed for the Penta.

Anyhow, I had some free time to do a little p-shop...



That's what 20" Axis Pentas would look like....not bad eh?

The shop in my area has the penta in black, hyperblack and chrome. chrome is busy but it could look cool on the right car.
