New Shoes are on

Well, after much searching and longing I bought these wheels and tires. I had to stay on budget. These were less than 2k shipped.

I like the look and fell of them. The center caps are a work in progress though.

Here are a few pictures and a movie driveby.

Nice looking wheels, be careful with Axis wheels. I had the super mesh wheel on my E500 MBZ hit a pot hole and craked the front and rear rim in half. Axis took care of the problem, but from that experience I will never buy cheap wheels again.

Don't drive to fast and keep your eye out for pot holes.

actually, those were Axis wheels, however JAZ wheels in Buena Park now owns that wheel line!!!! They look great on your car. Actually, for the 996 I was saving up for, I always wanted to throw those wheels on. Man, Im in love with your car.

those look really nice and different from some other wheels. definately improves the look of the car and makes it more aggressive.

They look terrific and price is right you can't beat that. I like the old 70's fuchs at a slow speed they always had nice motion to them and to me and these reflect some of that as well but, being newer. In the video does your car have Fabs mufflers on them has nice sound to. Also what size tires are you running?
