Default New Axis Rims

Hey guys, i was just thinking of getting new rims...

I was looking into these Axis Seven MOD rims. These are the new ones with the lip on them. I was wondering what size i should get for my SC.

They come in sizes, with the lip sizes:
18x7.5 2.25"
19x8 2.5"
20x9 3.25"
20x10 4"

I really like rims with lips, and i like these.

I probably be replacing my chrome supra tt rims with these. what do you all think?

Kevin

Based on your mod list in your sig. doesn't seem you need too much input here but I am always a sucker for deepdish wheels that will fit over TT brakes.

It's not seven....it's se7en That wheel look very nice.....20x10 with 4 inch lip, it's even bigger than Zauber Gettin......But I think that is 1 pc. wheel, not multi piece.....And the price is very attractive...

Not at all.....Silver 18's is $280 per wheel......so around $1500 a set with tires.....For 3 grands, you can get 20's with tires. I'm pretty sure they are i piece wheel but 3 piece design.....otherwise they won't have a low price tag...

the ones shown in the pic r the axis se7en mod, they r one piece only and don't come in factory chrome only silver, they r a copy of axis's se7en's 3pc wheel that is a real 3 pc wheel. and the real 3 pc. r the ones that cost a fortune, not the mods they r priced around what kenjitsuo said. i was looking into these wheels a while ago and got some bad feeling from the people who sell them, i wanted chrome and they said that they only come silver from axis and that they send them somewhere else to get chromed dipped and that the quality was not so good week design, reason that they r so inexpensive to get. also the design is a little off from the real 3 pc. the mods's spokes come out more and looks weird imo. but here 's a thread where we discussed the wheel in detail with up close pics. good luck.

These wheels IMO are garbage now that I have seen them in person.The lip finish is very dull just like the spokes, we even took the wheel outside and it was still very dull.Plus I heard from Axis that the 10" wheel WONT have a 4" lip like their site claims, but it will have a 3.75" lip, still deep, but not 4".Also I love how in the newest Axis brochure they have a page dedicated to the MOD SEVEN, but they use an oncar picture of the REAL AXIS SEVEN three piece, which is very distinguishable from the MOD because of the diff. lip finish and the spoke curvature.That just says something about Axis when they wont even use the actual wheel in their brochure and their website claims one thing and they say another.Another point is the build quality, very cheap IMO, one of the fake bolts around the rim was very loose feeling on the demo wheel and would seem after time that it and probably all the others would fall out.This is just my opnion, but I think youd be better off saving for a NICE set of QUALITY wheels.

Axis rims suck IMO...the REAL 3-piece Se7en, not that POS "mod" version, is their only decent wheel...for the price of the Se7en's though, I would do something better...

Default wheels

These are not the wheels that were on the eclipse in the Fast and Furious.. Those were just Axis se7ens not the se7en mod... I was thinking of getting these wheels and I called a place in Atlanta and asked them if them would fit my car with out any problems at all...They said Yes even with the TT brakes I have... This seemed suspicious to me so I called Axis direct and they said they wouldn't.. I would have to do the 3 piece ones... Well for 19s (3 piece) they are like 5 grand and to me not worth it at all..Any time smeone says a 1 piece off the self wheels will work and clear the TT brakes I want to raise the Bull**** flag... I know they are a few but not many.... I think I am going to have a set of Simmons F series built for my car or just get a set of VOLKS...
