Look what Santa got me...
19 X 8.5 et 35 and 19 X 9.5 et 45 Axis Milanos. These wheels don't come in this in this finish, so I knocked off the silvers and got these done at Wheels America, whom I highley recommend for any custom wheel work.
For more details on my experience check the post below.

Thanks. Yeah the rivets make the wheels look sick. I'm not sure if you read the linked thread, but after dropping these off I got a call from the shop saying that it would be impossible to keep the rivets with their original finish since they were glued on (unfortunately its not a 2-piece wheel). So I was like whatever, just paint them black I guess. To my surprise I picked up the wheels and the rivets were there. Mike at wheels america houston hoooked it up...

Thanks...another huge reason I am happy going this route. I know for a minute I was hitting myself in the head when those RH-CX's were recently in the sale forum.
As for tires, I'm not a 100% sure what route i am going to go. My budget for tires is around the 800 range with all the other stuff (mounting, balancing...) Plus I'm gonna make an attempt to see if TPMS works with these since they do with most axis wheels. Any chance I could use my stock lug nuts and locks or is that something else I need to add to the list.
Been looking at Nitto, Khumo, Falken, or Hankook.
