Thread: Thinking About Some New Wheels

Ive had my mind set on some Mesh-Style wheels for my 2004. What do you think about these:

axis penta rims options. View axis penta hyperblack wheels at WheelsNext.com

Did a quick photochop:


What do you think, go or no-go?

do it.

looks perfect.... do it.

They're available in a 35mm and 40mm Offsets. The 40mm is a "Mass-Lip" option with a 3inch lip. From what ive been reading on the forums, I shouldnt have any problems running a 40mm offset should I? I prefer to have more lip than less. Just looks better IMO.

Get them, 40mm should be fine

i'd like em more if they were just a shade darker maybe, but they look ok

The color is kinda off they are darker in person. The color is listed as "Hyperblack"

They are definitely better than your current rims in your sig.

Nice photoshopping skills btw.

get +35 and be flush. no need for a massive lip.

agreed on the +35. i love that look

Love those wheels

So a 40mm offset would stick out, or would it be in 5mm? My biggest concern is rubbing issues, but I dont think ill have a problem running a 245/45/18 tire.

if you rub, just grab a heatgun and roll your fenders a bit. its not hard.

+35 sticks out a little bit more. thats what drunkie used to run before he got those 5 spokes.

Didnt he use a spacer though? Ill have to ask him...

lip > +35mm flush.

he used a spacer in the rear to make it more flush. you dont need that.

Wheel Tech - Offset

Offset info for OP.

You probably won't even notice a difference in 5mm offset, but I'd get 35s.

3" lip >>>>>>> 2" lip.

get the +40mm mass lip ones.
