i like the axis halos but just dont like how u have to chose one of the 8 color pin stripe since none really go with a gray

whish they still had the gravity i liked those the most

AXIS are in the 300 range so if u wanna spend that much on a rim then go for it just make sure u know its wut u want cuz if u get it and looks like crap u will beat ur self up for wasting all the money....

out of the 3 pics u picked the axis and drag would look better then that 1st pic

Check out the Axis Shine, or Matrix. They don't come in black, but they are well priced and will look good.

^First you start out with a $1500 tire and wheel budget. Now you want to know how wheels that are over $600 each will look on your car? Obiviously they will look very nice, but are you willing to pay to play?

If you have money:

HRE 545R
Work Meister S1
SSR Proffesor SP1
Volk GT-S
Volk SF Challenge

All of those can be had for about 600 and up, all are 5 spoke, and all can get the black face you want.

If you don't:

Axis Hiro
Axis Reverb
Rota D2
5Zigen Fn01rc

These are about 300 a piece or less.
