black on black!

 

Black...!!!

 

black

 

another vote for black!

 

Um, lemme be the first one to say........black! DOH! Beaten by an hour and 50 minutes or so

Yeah, black F T W!

 

Black, but not those.

Axis....FTL.

 

Silver!

 

Well, that's what i was thinking too...but he didn't ask that

 

I've looked at them before; the finish is hazy and they are super-el-cheapo. I've seen people gut gnarly chunks out of 'em from hitting potholes. I think the OP can do better.

 

2008 Impala. . .what am I missing. .. shouldn't this be a few months still

 

Well, according to his sig he's still drivin the Pontiac...but preparing for his new Imp...??? What's wrong with that, eddie?

 

yep, i sold my trans am, and am planning to buy an 08 Impy ss, black on black...so whats wrong with axis wheels. what is FTL??? Any suggestions on black 5 spoke wheels. Keep the opinion, suggestions comin..thanks again everyone.

 

FTL would be the opposite of F T W (for the win)...however, the letters F T W cannot be placed together on this site due to the other meaning (f*** the world).

Personally, i'm just not a fan of the wheels themselves...don't know about the quality issue Nacho brought up.

How much you looking to spend and in what size? I've gone through endless black on black wheels looking for my Ms. Right (which i found a few of) and could help.

 

Buff,

thanks for your input, im also a member at naioa. $ really isnt an issue. I deinitley want 5 spokes...having trouble deciding what finish (Black, chrome, silver) I think that black would look good, but i dont want it to look like ****...i want something that turns heads but is a classy wheel. If black, def want a polished lip to set off the silver accents on the car. Some rivets look ok, others not so much. So, I guess im looking for input on 20 inch, black, poilished lip, 5 spoke. The axis look good. Ive seen them on some cars online. They arent really that cheap in terms of cost (2300 with high perf tires.) Juggalo on naioa did a photoshop for me, here is the link:

Please help. Your exterior mods thus far are great, classy and appealing.

Here's a good list of tasteful, sporty yet luxury looking wheels. Obviously with HRE's, iForged's, and Moz, you have to request an FWD fittament and they will accommodate you. You stated price is not an option, so these are some fairly expensive wheels. I strongly believe you get what you pay for. Axis wheels are really cheap and are soft metal, California is notorious for potholes (no rain for a long time + flash flood type rain = numerous potholes.) and I've seen axis wheels destroyed. Also, their finish is not top notch....and can be a bit hazy.

Stick with a good company like HRE, iForged, CCW, Moz, TSW, Foose....and you will bet set. Most of the race cars you see have a HRE wheel....so these wheels are legitimate in their finish, craftsmanship, and quality.

Sorry for the long post.....just trying to help.

 

Nacho SS. What a guy!!!

 

Wow, Nacho, thanks for the suggestions. Apparently price is an issue, haha. great wheels, but I have not ever even come across wheels iin the 1500-1700 dollar price range per wheel. Those are some really nice wheels though, especially the first one. Im looking to spend around $3000. There was a nice set in there for 1400 for 4 wheels, but they do not have a black finish. It is the Nogaro wheel, real nice. Again, I appreciate your input and taking the time to help me out. Dan
