Opinion please!

What's up fellas!

I think its time to change the wheels on my max.. I've been looking at alot of wheels but cant seem to make up my mind. A friend of mine has some AXIS 19'' FS that I like and am considering. My car currently has the VOLK GT7's 18''.

I did a little photoshop to get an idea on how my car would look.

Let me know what yall think...

Thanks,
Albert

The AXIS's are really nice in all sizes, and they look good on your car for sure.

Are you going for looks? Or performance?

Well i hate to say that the Axis are anchors They are not light as the Volks are. So with that being said even with the blower im not gonna move as quick anymore like I do right now. So looks and performance is what I had with the volk. Get me?

I hear ya ... Any jump in size will increase the weight, just by shear size alone.

If you drive your car for speed, even though the AXIS rims are sweet, I'd stick with the Volk's

Personally not digging the polished lip on the new rims. It may just be the photoshop job, but to me, it reminds me of a white wall on the tire or something. Just my opinion. Besides that I do like the axis wheels better.

i think the polished lip is too little, they are anchors, they would be a downgrade, the color however makes them look better. i would paint your volks, or get them carbon fiberd.. they would look hard go 360forged and check out the wheels that they have carbon fibered... **** looks good check out the lambo cf5 pics

While I like the LOOK of the Axis wheels far more (my personal opinion is that GT7s are not a good looking wheel), Axis wheels are a serious step down from Volks. That, and I feel 18s are too large for a 4th gen so 19s is even worse, I'd skip them and get some different wheels all together. That's what I'd do.

Like the future look, but not the color. Stick with silver but new rims.

personally looks waaaaay better. but there are good looking rims that weigh decent if a concern. I prefer lighter weight, but willing to sacrifice for something that I really enjoy looking at.

I like the Axis, but I think a 19'' rim is too big.

I had 19s on my car, sold them because they were just too big, even with a 35 sidewall.

I would keep looking unless its a killer deal.
