Axis Elite wheels? Pics

Found these for a great price. Don't know much about this brand, but I remember they had a huge setup at SEMA. What do you think on a silver 2010? $675 for staggered setup. How do the offset specs look? Looking for a modern looking wheel, that won't bust the bank.

Very nice looking rim. I would just make sure about the offset and if you aren't order the deeper offset as it is easy to shim the wheel out but looks silly if the wheels stick out.

They've been around for a long time, before 2000 for sure cause I had a set on my Civic Si.
I was happy with their quality, and like you said they don't bust the bank - the are quite reasonable. I bought mine up here in Canada from Volco Wheels and Tires.
Most of their styles are quite modern looking, just like you mentioned.

Very nice I would like to see those on a mustang. As for the offset you would be fine with 35 for the 8" front and 40 for the 9.5" rear.

I'd just go 9.5 all around. They would look great on your car, and Axis makes good wheels.

Here's a quick chop with them on my car. The front wheel had to be distorted quite a bit because of the angle. Maybe this will give you a visual.

You guys are awesome. I'm considering this wheel and at this price, it seems like a no brainer for my limited budget.

Question, If I went 9.5 all around, with the same size tire (so I can rotate) what would be an offset that would work to give that nice flush look? Also, would a 275 be a good size? Thanks for the feedback!

EDIT: I see the RTR package at Late Model Restoration says the RTR's are 9.5 wide with 33mm offset all around, with 275 tires. As everyone seems to agree, the rears stick out a bit. So, would 40mm offset in these Axis rims solve this problem, or would the wheels be too tucked in? Sorry for the noob questions, but I find this confusing. Thanks!

My front wheels are 9.5" by 20" and have 45mm of offset. While I know you can't always compare I'd go at least 40mm of offset with 9.5" wheels front and back. Remember with too much offset you can always space the wheel out you can't pull it in.

Wish I could....9.5" will not fit in the front. That's a deal-breaker for me.

I like the wheels you got. Always been a fan of Axis, just never found a wheel in the right fitment for any car I've owned.

Those axis a fine looking five spoke wheel. You can put a 9.5" on the front you can put a 10" on the front with the right offset.
