Well the time is coming near for some new rims....currently I have a 4 month period until I choose. And I'm going to need opinions......

Here are my choices so far:
1. Trafficstar DTS (20x8.5) (20x10)
2. Axis Seven MOD (20x9) (20x10) - Gunmetal or silver w/polished lip
3. Zauber Gettins (20x8.5) (20x10)

I'm actually leaning towards the Seven 3 piece....

B...

if you like 6/7 spokes, i would suggest the new volk-gt7 or the jdm intensive hunk...but the catch is that they do not offer them in 20s

Future......def. out of those choices, I think the Axis Seven in gunmetal gets my vote.I saw recently that they were offering them in 20" and was actually entertaining the idea of getting them, but Gettins have had my eye from day 1.I think that set up would be unique, well for a while at least gunmetal with a polished lip on your white car......cant go wrong with that!!!

Last time I asked about AXIS rims, I was told they were cheap, fake, knockoffs, not JDM, blah blah blah. I think they look tight tho, id go gun metal!

Axis 20's in New York will last you 2 days maybe even less. My Axis Moos 19's got banged out in 1 week. I dint hit any serious pot holes, never even got a chance to take the car to the city.

damnit Future......this thread has sparked my Seven interest again. I went to their site and saw the prices for the seven mod "3piece" says the rears have a 4"lip which is a tad bigger than the gettins .And are those prices correct on their site? 20x9 in silver $400/piece 20x10 $450/piece .....lip on the 9's 3.25, lip on the 10's 4".... it doesnt say they are offering them in gunmetal though I am just about to order the getiins and this happens are axis wheels bad quality? my friend has some axis Hagens in 19" and they seem to be holding up to the everyday abuse wheels can get....ohhh what to do now

I didnt ask the guy about gunmetal but THEY ARE ready, he said for a down payment he would have them within 5 business days. He said the warehouse had them in stock.

That is one of the few decently built AXIS wheels...most of their other wheels (nearly all) are just cast knock-offs...no better than Prime, KMC, or any of those other brands...

The Axis wheel looks nice cuz it's a Knock-off of the Intensive Hunk (what they are now calling the AutoCouture HK7 I believe...Intensive is owned by Evolution which owns AutoCouture).

Anyways, my vote is for the Gettins...or...
