Those look nice and those prices are surprisingly cheap. How much do they weigh?

No personal experience but I am an avid wheel researcher.
I've heard of only one incidence of an Axis cracking....which is good.
I have read several incidents with much more expensive wheels so having seen just one for Axis says a lot about it's durability. They have several styles that are very attractive to me. I see no reason to not give it a try.

there is a "special" penta wheel specifically designed for Pcars which is a good sign!

The axis for Porsche is too narrow for a 997, those look more fitting for a 996 narrowbody.
