This is the Axis Gravity in hyper silver.

I can't find a picture of this wheel on a car ANYWHERE!! Does anyone know anything about it? I've had it photoshopped onto my car, but because of the bright color of the wheel I just don't think you can get an accurate description of how it will look on your car using photoshop. I'm currently torn between this wheel and the Axis Decade. I think if I could see it on a car it would help me make my decision...I've seen plenty of Axis decades on tCs. Anyone know anyone who has this wheel?

I totally agree with you on that sister! Although the 'Decades' are played out, those will look supa nice on your AP.

If you can't find a pic of these on a tC, that's a good thing! :P

The overwhelming response from you guys should tell me I need to forget the Decades. I posted something about these wheels on yoursciontc.com as well awhile back and everyone went crazy telling me they would look really hot. And true...not seeing them anywhere on the net, especially on a tC, should make it all the better!! I just have to wait for some "fundage"...hehe.

Here's the photochop someone did for me on yoursciontc.com. They even added the window tint for me, which I'm getting in a few weeks. It does look amazing, but kinda painted on. lol.

Next question...if I wanted one of those billet grilles too...is it possible to get one of those when you have the factory fog lights installed? (I'm seriously brain dead when it comes to cars.) I really really wish one of you enthusiasts lived in my area! I need a fellow tC influence in my life... :doh:

I called discount tire direct today. They called Axis for me and that wheel is out of stock and basically on back order. looking at 30-90 days before they will get them in. But they offered me a really great deal....I can get the kumhos I wanted, along with 4 wheels mounted and balanced, $1449 shipped. I think that price is partly because I mentioned that wheelsnext.com has the wheel/tire package for $1499 but I didn't want the tires they have. So now i just have to come up with 50% down payment to order them....

1499 for axis's lol... what a rip off.

yea i wouldnt pay that much for those wheels... then again... I wont every buy a cast wheel again.

those wheels sell for $274 each... I'm getting 4 wheels and a set of kumho ecsta ASXs with the wheels. That sounds good to me...I've done a lot of research and looked at every place that sells those wheels and that seems to be the best deal. so if you know of something I don't know please educate me.

I think that's the tie breaker right there.


also, buy my calculations you're paying 374.75 per corner. so you're still paying about 274, those aren't expensive. i won't comment on where you spend your money but i'd laugh if someone came to me with that setup for that price. are they 17", 18" or 19"??

make sure you get the warranty b/c if you catch a flat and the can't fix it, you get a new tire. so you basically make up your money if you ever get a nail or whatever.

I appreciate yalls feedback. Where the hell else am I supposed to find these wheels?? The only cheaper place I've found was modacar.com for $249 each. I still need tires...which I Was going to get Kumho Ecsta ASXs for $90ea at discounttiredirect.com. I was just hoping to find a reputable place to buy both things from. I don't want to get ripped off but no one is telling me where else to get them! I just keep hearing I'm getting ripped off if I buy the deal I'm talking about.

Luckily I'm not in a hurry to order right now or I'd be more frustrated. I'm just taking my time looking at all the options.

search around on scionlife, there's plenty rim vendors here--weksos, drkflicker and pgracing (sp??) are just a couple. rim shopping is all about research.

Luckily I'm not in a hurry to order right now or I'd be more frustrated. I'm just taking my time looking at all the options.

that's a good thing, b/c you don't want to buy out of just wanting to have rims. some people hate riding stocks, so they get the first set that they like. idk if those are the only rims that you're interested in, but again look around. and despite what some say i don't think AP is hard to shop for as far as color; bronze, silver, black, gold and hyperblack all look good on AP imo. also i have yet to see AP color matched or a dark blue--i think would be pretty nice.

check these out. he's asking 1200 for Volks. If you don't know Volk is an awesome company for rims, usually retailing for 2k+, or at least the high g's. and the tire they they come with are freaking nice.

thanks for your help, I appreciate it. But I really don't like back rims at all. Just not my thing. Wheels are definitely something each person has their own opinion of.

Nice wheels. Axis looks great... expensive... but great.

I've seen a lot of tc's with the axxis decades.

^^He put a lot of junk in your trunk! :lol:

If you are comfortable ordering from discounttiredirect.com, then by all means due so. I would rather pay a little more knowing that I purchased my wheels from a reputable site/vendor than a schmoe. Which I did when I purchased my 5Zigens a couple of years back. (And I did use discounttiredirect.com, although I ordered them through America's Tire Co. [Same company.])

Be sure to get the tire certificates also. I have used 2 and it has cost me around $60 to replace 2 tires as opposed to $151 ea. They also do lifetime balancing and rotations. I have been very happy with their service to. So, make some ducket$ and order those puppies and slap 'em on your ride! Can't wait for pics.

haha yeah I know! So how do I find a vendor? I've been pretty impressed with discounttires service so far. I've already had them on the phone helping me out and they were very helpful. I do plan on getting the certificates too. And now I'm going to be looking into the gravity in the gunmetal type color too. I'm wondering if that color is on back order too or just the hyper silver....

what wheel is that scion jon?

scion_jon
11-29-2007, 04:06 PM
axis halo's staggered fitment, they remind me of the gravities, but they are solid black with a pin stripe of either, red yellow, blue, white, etc.

in my PS i placed axis hiros over my original wheels, and then placed the ones you see now, erased the lips so all you would see is the silver lip from the hiro's.

i did this just to get an idea of what the gravity's would look like ;)
