Imagine these wheels on a blk coupe slammed.
They are 15x8's but the bolt pattern is 4x100
What do you guys think?

i definately think people would buy them if they were 114.3, personally i am not fond of 4 spoke but the offset makes them a little better. If you really want them in 114.3 i would email the maker and tell them how successful they would be with the 240 kids.

Theyre Axis, so they suck.
The OG wheels are a series of replicas, so they suck.
Four spoke wheels suck.

So all in all, they would look awesome pause NOT.

speaking of offset, im curious on what it is.

Youre right, Rotas suck.
They would be an upgrade if they fit, or came in a good size for 4 lug.
Or if they were half-way appealing to my eyes.
Or if you had green squares.

But they dont, and you dont, so shut the fuck up.

they're -27. they would fit on my terc with a roll and pull.(granted, i would be boso slammed...) so why would you need 50mm overfenders? or over fenders period?

Not gonna lie, I hate the majority of Axis' wheels. They also ripped off the Gravity Gullflames and even named them Gravity. What the fuck. Not a fan wheels with less than 5 spokes, except for Super Advans. Only 4 spoker that looks decent are the 280ZX Swastika wheels.

Some of the 350Z and G35 guys seems to like them though. Bleh.

looks like a fake non reflective lip like all of the sport wacks wheels.... i mean in that pic it is reflective but not like baller status... i think the wheel would be good though for budget people and also, not in 8 width..... tell them at least offer 9, 9.5 or even 10 :P

well...im not a fan of 4 spoke and i think they look kinda cheap...but i dont care if they are rotas, axis, or any other brand...if they look cheap they probably are. as for they lip...that is sick.
and
when it comes down to originality im sorry to say but i doubt everyones car is the most original car...if its popular and everyone is running it...like say an SR...then maybe there is a reason they are...because it is good. everyone is copying everyone else and just putting a lil spin on it or just finding a shitty product that looks cool and making it quality so it is sick.

oh yeah...and miatas suck balls

I dont see any resemblence between these wheels and the other " non replica" wheels. You guys are comparing 2 different rims, the rota d2's are knock-offs, as we all know they are a direct look-alike of the works, but none of the wheels posted here have any of the same characteristics to the axis other than the number of spokes.


just my opinion...

are a knockoff of these ssr's
http://www.more-japan.com/skin1/images/SSR/SSR/sp1/wheel01.jpg

so to all you people running work, why are you guys rocking out a knockoff? can afford real shit?

^that was a joke to show you how ridiculous you guys are

CylonFrakker
04-15-2008, 01:59 PM
so you mean if company x out with a 5 spoke rim and company y follows suit about 5 years later with another 5 spoke design that looks intriguingly similar they are garbage???

I mean honestly it really just cracks me up to see people condone certain knock offs and condemn other knock offs. I mean to each his own and everyone's pocket is different.

I know I know there are 3 schools of thought on Zilvia. The will have cheap wheels because of affordability and that is all they can afford. Then you have the will not buy cheap wheels as they are brand name supporters and anti KO and Copys. then you have the i don't give a damn guys who rock what they want regardless of what people think. But hey do what you want and rock it out! Its your car and your wheels. I like smuckers jam and I don't like bama, but my wife loves polaner all fruit. See what i mean? Do what you want and respect a different twist on things if we didn't have people expounding on each others design we would be in teh dub world with a million spoke blender/food processor looking wheels with spinners and shitty fitment. DO WORK!

patrick10
04-15-2008, 02:06 PM
^^that was exactly my point, who the fuck cares if its a knockoff or not. like someone said earlier, 75% of your crazy ballin wheels are knockoffs, does that make them any worse?

Taniguchi_Is_#1
04-15-2008, 02:17 PM
it's not the "LOOK" that bothers people. it's the fact that WORK and SSR have design teams that DESIGN their wheels. yeah some of the LOOK the same but if you LOOK at their construction, wheel to wheel, they might not be so SIMILAR. is this too hard to comprehend? rota doesn't get knocked because they are cheap and made in the philippines, it's because putting a line in the face of an EXISTING design is not DESIGN. that's why they can sell them for so cheap to people. it's called REVERSE ENGINEERING. buy the wheel, make a shitty mold, incoporate your own universal barrel design with the face attached to it. pour metal. finish. that's not DESIGN. WE AREN'T COMPLAINING ABOUT LOOKS. that axis wheel looks nothing like anything else, but OTHER axis wheels, SUCH AS THE OJISAN wheels, look like they could be in the clearance AISLE at KMART. if you guys don't care, you don't, but you guys assume that some people are offended by price and design. it's not that. it's because there is no DESIGN put into ANY knockoff WHEEL. YURI should give some input, but since it seems like MOST posts in this thread are RETARDED, i doubt he will.

ThatGuy
04-15-2008, 02:24 PM
"Research and Development is too difficult and expensive. Why should we do that? They are just a bunch of Maganzine and Movie crazed kids that are out there trying to make their cars look fast. If we just make something that resembles the style they are in to right now, we can turn a profit. It's too easy to pass up. I mean, who's really going to care? Besides, even if some people do care, so what? There are plenty of people out there who will buy them just because they look cool. That's our market."

Yeah, that's pretty much how I picture the discussion going around the "design" tables at some of these companies. :duh:

If you get butthurt because you want to buy knock-offs, oh well.

I'm not angry about you wanting to buy them. I just don't have an appreciation for their methods, so I voice my opinion. If you don't like it, just ignore what I have to say. :D

04-16-2008, 06:29 PM
i would run them in a heart beat. I currently run 15x8's with a deep offset. and would love another set of nicer looking rims.

knock off is fine with me. I track my car and try to get the most for my money. so saving a few hundred on rims means I keep drifting for several more events. :)


^agreed, thats the prob with knock offs. they forget they are knock offs, and try and charge real prices.

At least sportmax knows they are knock offs and keep there prices in the knock off range, lol
