It seams like every where on this site people just hate Axis wheels. I never really put them in the same category as like Motegi or something along those lines but around here it seams that way. I like the way a lot of there wheels look, what are the issues that people dislike about this wheel, just curious any opinions are cool.

 

where's the hate? Axis Hiro's are my favs from them.

 

x2

 

I don't hate 'em.

 

they are on the same level as motegi. check the latest issue of modified mag to see why they suck.

 

Can you just tell us?

 

i never had rims but i love the lookz on axis. lookz sexy

I'd have to assume that weight is the issue on that graph?

 

I'm pretty sure a five year old could create a graph like that, it's pretty obvious.

Oh wait, they misspelled performance... it probably was a five-year old.

 

pretty sure a 5 year old could see that i copied and pasted that graph from the link i posted.

and its lap time.

 

haha, I've never hated Axis wheels, but in essence they are what they are....1 piece cast alloy wheels.

Though their designs look good, you can't hide behind the fact that they still made in Taiwan wheels. The owner of Axis actually lives down the street from me, he's a really nice guy, I see him driving in his GTR every so often.

Either way, rock 'em if you want, just don't expect the get the kind of respect that you would w/ any Japanese wheels.

 

think of it like this.

Seiko/Citizen watches = Axis/Motegi

Cartier/Movado watches = Volks/Works

Craftsmanship, quality, material, design, etc are all part of the equation.

Seiko/Citizen watches are not bad... but they are definately no Cartier/Movado

 

i like adr

 

I realize it's showing lap times because it says "lap time" right at the top. What do they attribute the variances to? Weight?

 

read the article. its quite good, they are missing some things which i wish they would have tested but they didn't.

basically weight, density (same thing).

they didn't test strength but they acknowledged it.

 

I don't personally like them because IMO they are bland and boring looking..but thats just me..I'm picky

 

Yea I dig the Hiro's myself, I like the way they look on silver. Anyone know of a place with a good price for these wheels?

 

for what you're going to pay for axis wheels you're better off getting a different higher quality wheel

 

Testing strength by driving over curbs would have been cool.
