it gets my vote. there are also RPM and Stern wheels.

which I like a lot. you'll get 4 for 500. at nice widths and offsets. and possibly tires if you request them for a little extra. check the store.

Those look a lot like the sportmax 006 which are much cheaper. You might want to look into those.

sportmax 006 look decent, do you know if they have them in gold?

does anyone know a wheel that is similiar to works vs xx or axis penta in GOLD color. .. my main search is a rim that similar to works vs xx in gold color.

that'd be nice!!! thanks!

You cant deny that some of those wheels dont look good. Forget about the brand name , forget that they are listed in the ricer catalogue , clear you mind , and tell me that the Type-M & the DC5 Version 1 are not attractive wheels.

Its like saying the hot girl that just walked past you isnt really hot just because she isnt famous.

I know you said "jk" , but im just saying.......

Dark green zenki, its my daily driver so you are gauranteed to see it at some point. Tinted windows, pretty much stock body, non-stock color. Axis wheels.

I have Axis Reverbs, if you want to see the quality before you spring for the pentas you are welcome to. They are not too heavy, and seem to be strong. I have had them for quite some time now.

Nissan super green pearl. Has no color variants. I am pretty sure its not a USDM color. It does look a bit different now that it has cured out. It was under very bright light so the pearl really popped.

No connections anymore bodyshop wise, I knew a guy who sprayed my car last year but he is not a body man anymore.

I did the bodywork, my car is NOT perfect but good enough for a daily.
