Dude, I think the gunmetal sevens look incredible. I like the C2's as well, I'm a big fan of the mesh, all my vehicles have a set of mesh. But I've seen the C2's for so many years and they're kinda played out and costly at that. If you're getting the genuine Racing Hart. The axis though I'm sure can be had for much less.

You've peeked my interest and have yet to confirm fitments on the Axis line, thanks for the picture. Good skills on that ****!!!

I would say the Gunmetal Sevens. The Nice contrast really enhances the vehicles line while still having a good spoke ratio. They accent the fenders more too, but that's somewhat a relative statement.

I must say that I would have gotten a yellow one if I had seen that picture seven months ago. I didn't want it cause it was too much, major cop attractor, but those rims look sweet.

My housemate own a yellow E36 M3 and he has gunmetal Racing Dynamic style 5 spokes. The best color for yellow all the way, especially since the yellow mica is so deep.

Good luck with your decisions,

Rishie

I spoke to Tavis Tan on Friday about the Axis line, as he's real good friends of Jon K at Ziel Motorsports, importer of JIC. We hit it off pretty good and he said he'd build the custom offset for me that I would require of them for the MP5.

So if you like those, let me know and I'll have them made from blanks.

Tavis is the ****, real nice guy. You should check out his 300ZX, front page article in the recent Turbo magazine. He's running JIC 15 ways on that one. It's for sale, $40,000. hehe.

He also has the yellow 911 in the AXIS poster which is running entry level JIC's, the SF-1's, and he said they blew away his 30way adjustable B&G's.

Anyways, I'm serious that picture inspired me to pick up the whole Axis line, assuming that they can produce the right offset for me.

Later guys, Rishie

Hey yellow, did you actually buy those wheels or is that shopped in there.

Question Axis

What seems to be the problem with the Axis? Is it the offset or the wheel pattern? If they are able to do this custom set, how much would it be. If you want email me or pm me. Iam interested, just depends how much more $. Let me know.

Thanks.

Original Pic Rishie

Here is a link to the original pic. It is my car and the rims are not photoshopped.

Basically it's produced in a +40 and he can get it to a higher offset for me. This would still restirict you to a width of 205 either in 40 or 45 series, depending on "mileage" preference. Oh, I don't think it's gonna cost anymore money. He seemed to be more than happy to open his market to us.. hehe. Real cool guy.

18's are not an option for the protege5 in the axis line.

Too bad my **** isn't yellow. Damn that's gorgeous.

See ya, Rishie

I'll get pricing tommorrow.
