Did you have to roll the fenders or do you have any rubbing? Those tires look pretty low profile.

To all the Axis Shine owners out there: Is the polished face of these rims more like a chrome finish? In some of the pics the rims almost look chrome, whereas in other shots they have a more subdued look to them.

I'm considering these, but I don't want a "chrome" look.

Thanks!

Veery nice!

Unfortunately, 1010Tires wrote me back and said they don't have the reverbs in stock and it could take 2-3 months to get them. I hope they arrive before easter.

i'm not too sure if you would like those. the blue is not gonna match the paint. plus black wheels on a WB don't look very good IMO. maybe you could try to have someone photoshop them to see if you like them.

Despite what I said above (get 'em), I don't actually like the blue strip. I DO like axis wheels though, I mean, not too expensive, reasonably light, good looking. I'm going for reverbs but hiro is nice, too.

SO I called an Axis dealer and apparently the Shadows dont fit my car for some reason. I still want black rims though and i think i may just pay someone to paint the winning blue accent color on it, or not. I havent decided yet.

Nuke what do you mean black wheels dont look good on a WB??? (sorry im new to this, im not sure what you mean by "WB")

OK after moments of actually thinking about your reply i actually understood what you meant. "WB" is referrring to the color of my car, winning blue? Assuming that is what you meant.. im not sure i agree or disagree. I think you are right i do need someone to photoshop for me.

Anyone willing to help a girl out? I could send you a few pics of wheels im considering and a good pic of my car..
