Axis Reverb?

Post by A_DuB »

http://www.axiswheels.com/wheels/reverb/reverb.html

I've been looking at these rims for quite a while and almost have enough to buy them now. I know I would have to roll my fenders to get any decent tire on there but the "WILL IT FIT?" question isn't something I'm concerned about quite yet and besides I already know I'm an ass and am willing to prove it. My question is do you guys think that these rims would make our car look "cheap". I was think of going with the Gold colored ones.

My friend has these on his WRX. Well, he's only had them on there for a few weeks and is already selling them.

They look great, though I don't know how they'd look on a Legacy.

i personally don't like them, that doesn't mean you shouldn't put them on your car though. this is just my opinion.

He is on Team Emotion, and as such, I'd imagine he'll be running Emotion wheels.

They are on this:

It's also making 600whp, so he can have whatever wheels he wants.

Hmmm. . . That's a nice looking WRX :shock: , but I'm more concerned about how cheep the rims would make our SS's look :? . The only other thing I'd want to know is how well they held up with the 600whp (curbs don't like me :evil: )

That thing has more money in it than ALL of us have spent on our Legacy's (to buy them, not in mods). Full cage, JDM Bride seats, STACK unit, all Defi gauges, REAL carbon interior (door cards, dash, floor pan, rear-seat-delete, everything).

If you got them in 17" and not 18", I think they would look OK. The gold is kind of glossy, and I think that'd make the car look a little cheap, but it wouldnt' look bad. Curb these rims, and they will look hideous. They will also make your brakes look tiny.

How did they hold up? He had them on for like 3 shows, and less than 200 miles. The car only ran wastegate boost on the street until the motor was broken in. They never saw 600whp.

You should order them from somewhere online. It will be cheaper and more reliable.

Those are 18's.

Don't order from a shop. Order online. The 17's are available in gold, I'm fairly certain of that.

I saw them in an ad in SCC for like 1099 for the 17's with tires, and that may have even been shipped (not sure).
