Default Axis wheel quality

I've seen some tests on lesser expensive wheels and their problems, however, no one really talks about Axis wheels. I'm thinking of going with a set of Axis Hiros and am curious if anyone has experiences with their quality of manufacture.

Thanks!

I don't have personal experience with them but the guys at my favorite wheel shop says they are of good quality with no reports of problems.

A few members here have them and will probably chime in if they see this thread. You're safe with them imo. They're better than a lot of other wheels out there.

Im sportin some axis hiros in 19...Ive had them for only about 5 months, but theyre really good quality wheels....the only thing that i dont like is the quality of the finish...if you tighten the bolts by hand...the finish might start to crack because you start to rub as you tighten...wont happen with air tools tho...theyre not powercoated, if they were this wouldnt happen, but its not even a big deal...i wouldnt let that stop you from buying a great set of wheels

I've had them for about a year now and they are great. You must use a thin wall socket for the lug nuts.. All in all for a set of 19's with tires its really not a bad a deal.. I picked Axis because alot of other wheels were really expensive so axis seemed like a great alternative for some nice wheels. GL and let us know what you decide.. Oh ya i got them from D2-Autosports. Tell Derrick that Tony reccommended you.
