Default if you had to choose...

if you had to choose, which one would you put a 2nd gen GS?

Axis Milano 19




Axis Super mesh 19




RH Evolution GT5 19



19" staggered setup 8.5"F/9.5"R, these are my options for $1500 budget wheels only. I have read previous thread about axis, but I just cant spend more money on wheels like HRE or Works. and I heard RH evolution is not as good quality as racing hart? or anybody knows better wheels for that given budget? please enlighten me..

PHML... i knew you would pick milano

You might be better off getting what you want just save up for it or find an excellent deal on some used ones like this less than $1200.00 total delivered (used)

What gave you that idea? Me...picking Milano? LOL!!!
Yah...the offsets my biggest concern.....they only have +45 for 19x9.5....that would keep it a bit tucked in....Im thinkin maybe a 15mm spacer to push it out for the rear.

Btw...only +35 and +45 for 19x8.5 on 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

well.. i called psycic line and they told me to use the serach tool and "axis milano" as the keyword... thats how i found you bud.. LMAO

i dont really get it about the offset... spyeng.com has the milano 19 9.5 in 40 and 45 offset and 8.5 in 35, 40 and 45 (base on their website) and yet axis themself said its only available in 40 F and 45 R???

Why not just save up and get some better wheels?

Definitely not the RH Evo, but it's hard to choose between the Axis Mesh and the Axis Milano... it's personal, but I'm leaning a little more towards the Milano simply because I loved Maya DTS (which is quite similar to the Milano) and the mesh on a GS is already quite common....
