Finally Decided on Wheels/Tires

ChrisSlicks · 04-17-2009, 09:12 PM

They look great! The offsets are perfect.

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

TA DA

sorry for the small size. I'm a little rushed, and unfamiliar with this OS (mac). I'll re-do it on Monday with appropriate sized pics.

DJcuetip · 04-17-2009, 08:47 PM

nice! i cant put mine on!! you lower your car yet??? .. and pull that bulb out yet?

Endgame · 04-17-2009, 10:37 PM

Joey,

They look GREAT!

AK370Z · 04-18-2009, 02:29 AM

Looks really good! Congrats. Two

. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Sweet choice man. Wheel wells looks nice and full with the 20's.

molamann · 04-18-2009, 11:37 PM

Will you kick my *** for stealing your specs?

JoeyD · 04-19-2009, 09:32 AM

^ Nah, these wheels are made for this car.

Thanks for all the kind words. I'm really enjoying these wheels.

DJcuetip · 05-16-2009, 05:11 PM

hey i got my wheels on.. not having a tpms problem.. i believe what happen is whoever installed your rims and tires either didn't transfer the tpms to the new tires.. or they are not in the right locations (i think the monitors have to be in the exact location as stock, so if you take off the left wheel you must transfer the tpms to the new left wheel)

>135I · 05-16-2009, 05:57 PM

Very nice, I love the way they look on your car.

JoeyD · 05-17-2009, 09:20 AM

^^That makes perfect sense considering my stock wheels and tires are still mounted and sitting on my front porch. Good info. Nissan told me the wouldn't be compatible.

^Thanks, I like them too.

My only gripe is that I live in a sandy part of NC and dust sticks to the matte black parts like crazy. I can only keep them clean as long as it takes me to drive after a wash.

JoeyD · 07-20-2009, 02:18 PM

Just a little update on the rims/tires. The wheels are holding up great and still look brand new. The tires on the other hand have been one headache after another. I DO NOT RECOMMEND MICHELIN PILOT SPORT A/S PLUS TO ANYONE! I checked my rear camber settings (-1.6 Left Rear -2.0 Right Rear) after noticing some severe scalloping on the both rear tires. Michelin comped 75% of a new set of rear tires. Now only 2k miles later I have the scalloping again. These tires can not handle the torque.

Hmm, almost everyone on this forum unanimously vouch for the Michelin PS A/S +
