^^overall i would agree. i'm currently sticking it out with the stockies until the money is right on some rims
but for people that just want to be different, but not completely different. its a good "mod" with that said...plasti dip might have been a more economical way to go

Investing in 'more stylish wheels' will come with a much more stylish price tag.
Spending a couple hundred to paint the stock wheels is a great alternative to spending well over a grand on a new set of wheels/tires if you don't have that kind of cash floating around.

power coating (or plasti dipin') is a fine thing to do if 1) you know you will not have money for rims/dont want rims/dont want to spend money on rims or 2) you are someone that really wants it now
because if you spend say $200 on powdercoating....and later end up paying $1k on rims/tires...u just spent $1200 overall when you could have just waited and saved urself the $200.
however, i digress...each person is different and has different motives/visions for their ride. and with a "fully" customizable vehicle like ours...some times money doesn't matter

Well but of course. Obviously we would all rather get new wheels.
Investing in 'more stylish wheels' will come with a much more stylish price tag.
Spending a couple hundred to paint the stock wheels is a great alternative to spending well over a grand on a new set of wheels/tires if you don't have that kind of cash floating around.

Lol, yeah that was a lot of quoting haha. Anyway I really agree with you on the Five Axis wheels. Whenever I get my credit card paid off from all the mods I just bought, I'm going to toss a set of those on.

5axis is their own company based in huntington beach, ca
they do concept vehicles (scion/toyota being one of the companies that contracted them) and then started five ad (or five axis design) and made body kits and rims for consumer cars
the owner is an honorary member of Scion Evolution SoCal...to the point that all his concepts had SE stickers on it and other car clubs complained so scion corp told him to remove them....currently he only has SE stickers on his personal cars
oh and my connections are that im an SE member and the people i know at OEM Audio+ know the owner of 5axis...they are suppose to introduce me but everyone has been busy lately cause of SEMA. maybe ill finally meet him there tomorrow or thursday when im there

So sexy! Wheels and brakes look good! The rims I'm getting kind of look just like the stock tc rims but they have way more concave and much much wider and flat black. Have them by the beginning of next year when they come out I'll keep you guys posted!
