Yeah so.... I don't want to rain on everyones parade... but he still hasn't confirmed that he can steer......
I can put a 12" wide wheel on the front of my car and it will fit. But I'll have to do a 10 point turn to get into an ATM.

Huge props, dudes car is phat, i'm not taking anything away, but it sure is taking a long time to confirm that this setup will work on the front with an 8" wheel.

Not to mention, can you steer on springs, not bags?

Can't wait to see the results.

Very Nice!

Sorry to be the big skepitc earlier... Capt Pooty is my buddy and he was jones'n to get these, but was watching your progress before he lept, plus all these other peeps we're forming a line to the right to get a set, and I was like... "um......?"

Thats an awesome look, and as a former custom wheel rep, for a rival company, I have to give huge props to Axis for commiting to making a wheel like this. Its rare that a company will invest the time to and money to make a wheel that has extremely limited applications, and may not sell in high volumes, and make it available anyway.

I'm impressed.

I'm sure we'll be seeing these on a lot of xBs. Kinda makes me wish I hadn't sold mine....

Oh yeah, one more thing, love the tinted lips.

Good job hotbox....

Hey no worries, you kinda worried me at first because i hadnt checked out the rubbing yet Im happy to help you and your friend out with the specs on the wheels and with the pics. If there's any other pics you need, let me know. I'll be going to the shop to get my rear lugs impacted off later today and then ill be able to post up pics of these front and rear and get some side shots up I'm def happy with Axis and how theyve, like you said, made a wheel that will be for limited applications.

Thanks again, i'm glad you all like them. :D
