Default Anyone heard of Azul wheels?

well, i have been looking for that "perfect" wheel for a while know... a gunmetal colored mesh with a nice lip.. i thought i found it with teh flik wasp from edgeracing.com until i found this wheel... the azul speedmesh

http://wheelsnext.com/default.cfm?ac...lor=HYPERBLACK

anyone seen these in real life or on any car? I love the wheel and the price but I can't find pictures of it on a car anywhere.

also has anyone ever ordered from wheelsnext.com? i want to bundle this wheel but for the life of me and i can't figure out how to select the tires i want!

WARNING! Just because the lip in the pic looks large doesn't necessarily mean it will be in the size you're looking for. Sites use 20" rims in their pics because of the fatter lip. I have one very similar to the Fliks you're looking at. I have the Flik Artics in Gunmetal...



As you can see, the lip isn't that big. If you have the $$$, take a look at the 5Zigen Sport Engine 3000. These are hott!

Great quality for a little more $$$. I would definitely rock the 5Zigens if I didn't already have 2 sets of wheels. Good luck!

if your gonna order the package from wheelsnext... you have to do a phone order if you want to have a choice on what tires you want or they just mount them on kumho's....not sure which one tho...and of course they will charge to upgrade...as for the brand "azul" it seems to be wheelsnext's house brand similar to their "tork" wheels...the wheels do look nice.... and at a great price....i've heard a lot of good things about the flik wheels just search the forums there is some info on them....good luck!

oh ok that makes more sense then...

yeah i really wanted the flik wasps but i really wanna see what these azuls look like in real life... i also found them at another site (same pics)

http://www.1010tires.com/wheel.asp?w...2D+Hyper+Black


hmmmmmm what wheels to get.... the only thing that makes me nervous about the azuls is that the "hyper black" wont match my fm like i know the flik wasps will.

what do yall think will look better ?

flik wasp



azul speedmesh

Yep, 18 x 8.5s to be exact. I have the TRD Drop. My tC is a daily driver, so I didn't want it slammed. It just looks more aggressive now. I really love the color of the Fliks! I almost went with Black w/Polished Lip but I'm really happy I got Anthracite instead. I get lots of compliments on them. They are a good, quality wheel. I'd strongly recommend them!

I ordered the zuls from wheels next and they are on backorder for 3 months . I would jsut wait but i need new tires so im going to get new rims. I fell in love with the azuls as soon as i saw them. Im just trying to find somewhere else they have them. If you end up getting them post some pics and lets see what they look like.

I was looking to get the Azul Razr wheels, or maybe even the Speedstar, but they're both sold out on WheelsNext, definitely some awesome looking wheels.

I know this post is old but... I ended up just getting some drag wheels. I think the azuls wouldve looked better but i didnt really want to wait 3 months for them to get the azuls in stock... They look almost the same but a few different modifications.
