Ended up getting Yokohama Parada Spec-2 / 215 35 ZR 18 cause they lost my General's in route. I got the Parada for $90 each!!! I really like the ride.

My only problem is I can't get all the screws in the rings???

They ship out today and i got them new for $425 shipped!

I also ordered the General Exclaim UHP 215/35-18 for $86 per tire.

Here is a mockup of the Axis tC Evos Silver w/ Silver Rings on my xB,

I will probably will get some extra rings at $30 a pop.

Actual pics to come later this week!

 

check your pm
need info on where you got the rims & tires. thanks. ryan

 

check out www.wheelstudio.com. they have great deals on the Axis tC Evo.

 

They came today!!! Tires aren't in yet though :-(

Check out the way the ring reflects the light in the pictures, if you look at the ring it's silver but it has reflective paint so it almost glows from the flash.

I will definately buy from thomas@conceptmotorsports.net again!




BTW I checked Wheelstudio.com and they didn't return my phone calls (3 of them) but this was a better deal anyhow. Thanks for the tip though...

very nice bro!!! Can't wait to see them in person.

So this means you'll be going to the M&G in Tacoma on the 14th. lol...

 

I'll go to all of them!

Let's hook up the vinyl too when you get a chance. I will measure everything and create an illustrator file to take to the vinyl place. I want to take a look at what colors are available, that is the toughest choice with this.

I hope the tires come in tomorrow

 

^^^^^ thanks brian!
wheelstudio.com was more by $25.00 each wheel and dunno
if they charge shipping either.
keep me posted on how tall or shorter the General Exclaim
UHP 215/35-18 tires are from total stock height. i just want
to make sure i'm slightly taller by a hair so my MPH will read
a hair slower than actual speed.

let me know when you get your tires on. thanks again for the
hookup w/ tom.....just sent him paypal today

 

I will be sure to measure the diameter compared to stock.

What color wheels and rings did you get?

-Brian

 

I ordered the black/anthracite/grey looking one w/ silver rings for my BSP.
I notified him of the payment and he said he'll take care of it tomorrow so about
Monday/Tuesday it should be at my door. When your shipment came, where did it
come from? California....the Axis warehouse? or from Tom's warehouse?

And you had to order your tires at another place as well?

 

Came from Cerritos CA.

Ordered my tires from DiscountTire.com which has a shop locally here in WA that will install my tires.

 

i'll be diligent on ordering those tires and i'll check to see if they
have 40series for a taller profile 'coz i drive mine everyday on
harsh LA fwys....and if the 40s are taller than stock then i'm ok with that

 

Yes once again someone I mentor in the scion scene world will surpass me
on my quest for best scion. Your just lucky I have to use mine on a daily
basis (58k in 17mos.). I will look forward to seeing it at the meets.

 

Those look rad! Can't wait to see them on your car.

 

bumpidy bump

 

Would these fit in a tc? No doubt, nice rims! I was looking into axis and work eurolines, but if price is right...never know!

 

looks great!!!

secret about getting all the screws in, is to got them all started loosely first. once you have them started you can tighten them up.

see you friday.
peace!!!

 

Looking real good, Brian! Can't wait to see them at the next Kitsap M&G.

Man...I have to decide -- wheels/tires or sound system? I'm so torn!

 

Freakin Killer! !!!!!

 

hey Brian, I think I sent you a PM that was for mrwilson99 but it's just promoting tom
anyhow, I picked mine up yesterday from Cerritos and installed them as well. I ended
up going w/ Riken tires by Michellin and they are just a hair taller than stock....mmmaybe
1/4" taller?

I ended up getting your same rims since the grey/anthracite finish wasn't available for xB

if anyone is interested on these rims, ya'll can contact thomas@conceptmotorsports.net
and make sure to let him know who sent you ( Brian K and Ryan from LA)

Brian,
I ended up getting Rikens by Michellin 215/35/18 for an extremely reasonable price
even after mounting, balancing to finished install.

What I ended up rethinking about the reflective ring is that they have that thick
rolled-over lip and there is room to put nylon washers between the rim & reflective trim,
this prevents the aluminum ring from being warpped after being torqued. For the rings
to fit properly, loosen all the set screws and adjust them until they fit and tighten them
in a cross pattern like doing your lug nuts on the rim. That should do the trick but don't
over tighten them as he reflective ring will bend.

The car looks awesome! Looks like mine too
