i love these wheels, but i dont wanna cop WildManALs style on a grey luster max with silver Hiros. but i cant tell if these will match, or if they have just a little too much brown in them. what do you guys think?

I've found choosing wheels are one of the hardest cosmetic mods when you haven't seen the wheel on your car. It's basically a get'em and hope that they look good ordeal. With these Hiro's I think they'd look really good with Grey Lustre. We already know that the silver looks good, but be the first to have them, and others will follow. GL

they look really nice. I imagine theyd look pretty good. If you had a dead on shot of them, maybe someone with photoshop can put them on a Max.

i have photoshop at home, tonight will be a wheel matching night. im torn between a few. i even inquired about getting the Milanos powdercoated, but it turns out i will have to have them painted.

and your right deckd, this is EXTREMELY difficult, and im a very picky person when it comes to wheels. i havent seen these in person yet, because no where around here carries axis. hell, not many places around here even carry wheels. i think im gonna call Spy Engineering, Axis main distributor, and see if they even have stock on these.

plus, im torn between those hiros, and these SSR SP1s. i love these wheels, but because of the makeup of the rim, i dont know if its gonna look considerably smaller than it actually is. i like these a lot more than the hiros (i think ) but i dont want a 19" rim that looks like a 17" rim.

SSR Professors are non-existent now. The SSR's also look to small.

I know I might get flamed for this, but I don't particularly like dark wheels on any color car. Just looks dirty or something to me. Don't get me wrong, I don't like chrome either, and I think the stock SE wheels are way too light. I'd go for anything with a nice mid-tone silver finish. Just my .02.

That being said, those first Axis wheels you posted aren't terribly dark, so I think they'd look pretty good on your car.

Oh, and Wildman's car =
