I'm sure the guys here are not saying that it doesn't look good. I think [that] they look ok on your car. I personally just feel that anything along the lines of Katana, Koniq, Axis, etc etc. are just *******y wheel brands. It's not a personal attack.

For example, would you prefer Hugo Boss or Men's Warehouse for a suit? Would you rather have a Casio or a Rolex? Every company does or has the potential to make something nice, but which one would you rather have? It's all a matter of personal taste. If your rims make you happy then good for you.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.


HP's are a pretty reasonable wheel, but price point is low compared to high end wheels. I was looking at them for my Bimmer at one time before i changed the car's overall look, and was very surprised to find out how inexpensive they are.

Maybe you shouldn't include Axis with the other low budget wheels. First, I hear from several dealers that Axis wheels are very good quality. Second, I believe they run about $400 per wheel in size 19. That isn't what I call cheap.

Don't take it to heart, the rims look nice and as we all know, everyone mods their car differently. Now does spending $3k+ on wheels worth it for a 10-13 year old car? Some think so and will spend the good money and to some it doesn't really matter...

Whatever gives you "tha boom for my zoom Sc run mia! " -- you should be happy with that right? 2jzsc3 knows his wheels and is just stating the obvious from his own personal experience. It all boils down to what fits your budget and is perfect for you. So who cares if someone disses on your wheels, at least you're not rollin' on stockers...
