Rim showoff- Let's see your aftermarket rims

I'm looking at buying a new set of rims for my car. I just bought it last month so I'm itching for new rims. I added clear corners and getting the windows tinted tomorrow. I also got Tein S springs that I plan on installing on Sunday. I'm leaning towards the Axis Hiro rims in gunmetal. Please post pics of 8's with nice rims.

Thanks,

Pete

I have 19" DPK's in gunmetal. They were about 21 lbs each and cost me $800 for all four. Search my posts for DPK to get the thread where I describe who I got it from.

Axis Wheels are very nice, I would say go with them hands down.

Axis Hiros look awesome. After 3 months, I still do double-takes when I walk away from the car. They are on the heavy side, though (25lbs ea I think, compared to 20lbs stock.)

This thread is doing very well compared to that 'Show me your shoes' topic which literally shoes shows shoes shows.

Of the above, I like adrian-1's best. Pity about the weight though.
Kel's ones are nice too but doesn't suit the silver IMO. Would look awesome on a black.

Shocka, the best thing about the darker rims is you can't see brake dust

I've got Mille Miglia EV-R's.. 18x8 front & 18x9 rears.. I love them. They were pretty cheap too. $225 ea from TireRack. They accept the OEM TPMS sensors just fine too.

Thank you. I was looking for something that was kind of similar to stock, yet gave the wheel an even more open look/feel. Bonus was they accepted the OEM TPMS valve stems!
