China has mfr'd a new brand of wheels. The model line is called POS and are multi-piece (a first for China factories). Philly was selectively chosen and sponsored by them. It's reported, this wheel mfr builds wheels for Ruff, Axis, EXE, all the (bleh) wheels

Thats the first time I have heard Axis being classified as a "bleh" wheel?

Is there something wrong with the quality? Im just trying to find out why you think they are POS's.

I love my penta's and when I tell people.. "those are axis Penta's" I never get a bleh response.

Im truly not trying to be a smartass or anything.. just curious.

Thanks

sorry, no offense. it's a personal/biased issue w/me. i know the factories who mfr for that company, as well as some others, and am aware of their QA and processes.

what matters most is you're a satisfied customer with the product you have purchased.
