Both rims look good. I'd take either of them. Nice that the spinouts have different color options though. I found another rim that just like the two of them...but cheaper, if thats the way you wanted to go. Not sure what the bolt pattern is though.

No matter what you get, somebody else is gonna get it (unless its just plain ugly). I've only seen like maybe 10 people on SL with the Unknowns. 10 outta however many thousand tC owners in the US. WOW! thats a pretty big percentage isn't it? Now I can go around sayin everybody has them. I might as well say that Volks are played out (because everybody and their mother's has them)
HAHA!

yeah I know he's got em. I was the one that encouraged him to buy them. I don't cry when people get the same stuff I have. I encourage them to buy a quality product. I'm done talkin to you. All you'll even be on SL is a hater.

Wow, that company has some really nice rims. Diggin' the use of polished black. Used to be really hard to find any rims that weren't all chrome or just gunmetal.

I'd say Axis and Konig wheels are in the same "category" of cheap wheels. Yours is cheap too....and everyone has Axis wheels. Looks like you're in the same boat.

You dont have unknowns...so you really have no business being in this thread to begin with. WE dont care if you like the wheels or not. we got them beacuse we like them and we think they look good on the tC. We did not buy the wheels because they are "cheap" as in in expencive. We bought them beacause we feel they flow with the car very well, and we like the contrasting colors. When we bought them we knew they were heavy. Shoot the majority of people who buy them have 19s...so why do we care what weight they are?

*slightly edited*
i've already taken care of it.

TATTOO, you ever post anything positive or helpful?

Seems like every time you post, it's to put down someone or their car. Just so much negativity from you.

Maybe it's not your intention, but most of your posts come across as a hater.

I love my unknowns. And personally, for some those wheels may be "cheap" but for most of us paying our way through school and trying to work also as well as paying off the tC, those wheels fit our budget and may not be what we call "cheap." I know that goes for me. To me spending nearly 800 dollars for wheels is not exactly cheap. That's probably the most expensive thing i have ever bought besides my tC.

And when it comes to "everyone has unknowns" it only seems like that because they look good on tCs and this is mainly only on SL. I have never seen this rims in real life. I am the only one in my local towns that have these. These would be popular if i saw them on every car in my neighborhood, not just on SL.

Ok, that's enough for my .02 cents...

FYI: I've seen the HPD Spinouts a while before I saw the Unknowns... So they're not a "new knockoff".

The Unknowns were based off another design.... so, that's just a given... they aren't the cheapest, they aren't, also, notoriously overpriced like many other rim setups... I'm not liking the flow with white as much as my BSP, or H0B's former FM color matched unknowns... But, they do recieve many many positive comments on the streets and in the shows... and definately cost a decent chunk of change...

Come On Guys... "Inflammitory" comments just fuel fires that kill threads and don't serve anyone....

Needless to say... I'm proud to sport them, and my trophies, my #2 Ranking in the registry and I think they do just fine...

Cheap: 1) lacking quality, inferior. 2) inexpensive, affordable.
