Hey guys. I'm thinking about getting some new wheels for my cars and I'm really digging on these wheels from Five Axis. I'm currently on Axis Reverbs and to be honest, I'm bored with them.

I'm just about to pull trigger on them, but decided to do a little photochop to get an idea of what they'll look like. I'm thinking of going 18x8.5 with a +30 offset. I'm lowered on Tein S-Tech springs with meaty 245/45 tires. Will these stick out too far with a +30 offset?

Current set-up


Photochopped with S5 wheels


These are the wheels

Those will look pretty good on the car. No they wont be sticking out. And you shouldnt have any problems with rubbing fenders. Those are really meaty tires though, if it were me Id have 245/40

heres a better look, although its an 09"/blue, its still an RX8 with those sexy wheels!

Twiztog43 thanks for posting those pix. I've never seen those before. The negative camber on the front wheels is nuts.

I love those wheels, definitely not cookie cutter. Props for being different and not being another RPF1 fanboi.

I'm almost ready to pull the trigger, but then I found this posting for these used 19" BBS LM replicas. They will run about the same $, but with tires. I've always been a big fan of this design.


Decisions decisions.

Yes, but they are replicas...

I'd shoot for the S5's Plus 19" tires are super expensive lol
