This wheel look hot!!!! It's some kind of new hollow spoke design. I dont know how much they weigh but it cant be much. I wish they had 19inch but the 20's are sounding tempting. Only because they are 20x7.5 4/100. Must be made for us box cars huh?
I believe they are available in high gloss black right now. Bronze coming soon.
What do you guys think about this wheel?
Something different..

sorry to ask such a retarded question, but what do you do about water and dirt in the spokes? are there plugs for them? are there drain holes on the backside?
don't get me wrong, i think they look pretty cool. i'm just concerned about stuff getting into the holes. it'd sound kinda funny if you're cruising down the strip and your wheels are making noise because there's gravel in the spokes :shock:
i tink bronze would look good. like the advan tcII

I think that the "Hollow Spokes" are sealed, there is no holes.
EDIT: Nevermind, I didn't look at the pic close enuff. They do make plugs for them
Seen those at the warehouse last week...they are really nice and very light for 20" rims. I think they are testing them out on Brent's(tinybigrig's) car now.

i think u must have misread the specs. i just went of axis's website and the 20" wheel is a 9.5" width.
http://axiswheels.com/reverb.html
now if u could get that to tuck then it would really be somethin different
That is the same site where xB AMC got his info from about the 7.5" width for 20s. It contradicts with the AXIS site, and I'm not sure which one is correct, but that's not new info, that's the same site originally quoted, so it might be wrong.

Damn!!!
I found this information after I did a search
http://www.wheelstudio.com/axis.htm

huh? Someone asked about a price and I posted it. All xB amc did was post a pic. If you look at Axis's site and click dealers, you will notice that wheelstudio is an authorized dealer. Naturally the price will differ. Axis prices are probably MSRP.

I'm not talking about price at all. I'm just saying that 1st, someone stated that they are available in 20x7.5, then someone questioned that because the Axis site only lists 20x9.5, and we are trying to figure out which one is correct. The site that xB AMC quoted for 20x7.5 is the same site that you quoted for 20x7.5, so it is possible that it's a typo, I'm just trying to clarify that it's not 2 different sources selling a 7.5" wide 20.

damn people are already noticing those, hehehe they know my secret... i havent had the time to test fit yet, im hoping on monday that ill have the 20s on my box, and they only come 20x7.5 not 9.5, i know i unloaded the container, the black is killer and they do come with plugs the little blue rubber things to plug the wholes if you like. on a side note we only have the black, no gold yet.....but maybe soon, already got tires thatll fit at least i think theyll fit, 225 35 20. maybe this will all work ill post on monday with pics and horror stories if there are any

probably a dumb question but why in the hell would anyone want hollow spokes? it is just the weight difference or is there some unknown reason to me why people would want hollow spokes that I do not know of yet?
On a side notw that seems like pretty good pricing for axis wheels?

Ive had these in 20's in black, on my white box for months now. I am running a 215/35/20 Nitto is the only company that makes this size tire. It does not just bolt up, it takes a lot of modification. They look nice and they dont slow the car down that much.
I still plan on dropping it with a full HKS setup so we will see how much more modifying i will have to do.
