I saw these wheels from a new company called FIVE: AD (started by Troy Sumitomo same guy behind Five Axis and all those crazy Scion concepts).

And one of their wheels the S5:F looks pretty cool. I saw a picture of them on a 350Z and they came off pretty fresh and I'm wondering how these might look on an S13 fastback or S14.

What do you guys think?

Here is the pic of the wheels on a Z:

normally, I'm not a fan of Axis wheels...

but those don't look that bad. Albeit, it may look too big for the s chassis (what are those, 19's?)... but a smaller size and possibly a smaller offset, and you might actually have something there..

Actually guys its not "Axis" wheels. These are wheels designed by Troy Sumitomo of "Five Axis" (www.fiveaxis.net)

Hes a concept car builder.

The site for the wheels is http://www.fivead.net

Best size they have for an s-chassis is 18x8.5 +20, which isn't too bad. Go for it, and get some spacers if they aren't flush enough for your tastes.

No, no, you misunderstand me. Of the sizes available in that wheel, the best one they have for s-chassis is 18x8.5 +20 5x114.3. Got it?

s13 size for that i would say

18x10 +15 in the rear.

and

17x8 + 5 up front

my guess on offsets might be off but mehif i wanted some big rims i would do a setup llike that

Well that would be a fine setup, but the fact remains: they do not make those wheels in those sizes. Period.

Is there anyone here with some photoshop skills that can show me how they would look on an S14 or even a S13?
