As for 20's being overkill. I thought that too for a time. However, spend some time really looking at the size of the wheel wells and you will probably change your mind. My number 1 concern at the outset of my wheels selection was weight as this is the single most important performance characteristic of a wheel. These particular wheels are the best compromise between weight, style and cost (completely subjective I know). I love the absence of a lip. It looks almost OEM.

How much are the wheels and tires going to cost you?

I've got about 2750.00 in them including shipping, mounting and balancing. Just waiting on the UPS man.

Wheels showed up today. Unfortunately the box with the lugs and rings went to Albuquerque NM instead of Raeford, NC. I know, they sound so much alike. I could go out and buy new lugs, but I don't feel like wasting another $30-40. So I'll just wait.

HAHA My lugs took a wrong turn in Albuquerque.

LMAO WTH?!
Damn bro your car is going to look so sweeeet!
Cannot wait sir!

Wheels installed today. I'm very happy!

Fair warning for future rim buyers. The TPMS (tire pressure monitoring system) can not be disabled. So you have three choices; buy a TPMS compatible wheel, deal with the light, or pull the bulb. I'll be pulling the bulb as soon as I have an afternoon to take my dash apart.

Pics tomorrow.

Why is everyone putting AXIS rims on a 370z! I mean I know the Z is no ferrari, but damn it is a true sports car. Putting AXIS rims on is a huge downgrade. If I see a Z or an M3 or any car at that level with AXIS rims on, it makes me think "what a waste".

mcheddadi 04-16-2009 10:14 PM

it's because people buy what they find attractive.
respect the man's choice, don't ruin his fun

because everyone and there mother have wheels with a chrome lip.. and when i saw these in matte black in person.. i fell in love with them.. im not hating on chrome lips.. i personally have a supra with 19x12 gunmetal 57pro with chrome.. but axis did a great job creating this concave rim... its something different.. instead of being like every other car out there with aftermarket rims

You strike me as the type that thinks price is the only measure of quality. You could of easily been one of the poor souls who bought the bad HRE wheels way back when they had problems with wheels spinning inside tires. This is my fourth set of AXIS wheels. I have never had a complaint about the quality, weight, performance, or price. That being said, the Angles are my favorite set so far. The OEM-ish design has garnered nothing but compliments both today and yesterday. So, hate if you want and enjoy your played out deep dish wheels. I'll be enjoying my unique (at least for now) concave full spoke design.

Uploading and resizing pics right now...

Yeah I will, if I go that route. I was looking closer today and to be honest it would be so easy to just black out the TPMS light. I may just do that.
