hi guys,

im gonna buy rims next week, and i cant decide which...

19" maya stu's in black chrome with a chrome lip

maya


or 19" axis wheel mesh's in polish with a chrome lip



axis

the rims are for my black cl s

which do you think are better???

thanks

 

I like the axis wheel, the spokes look pretty cool.

 

go with the mayas

 

anyone wanna try a photo shop of each rim?

 

The axis look cool as hell, there is someone in the gallery with a black car with those on there. These are the rims i am planning on getting once i get the $$$ together. Once i saw those on his car in the pics i was sold!!

 

ive got the axis pics, and they look tight, but the black chrome draws me in .......

 

those Maya's are hot....i would get them in 19x8 so you dont slow yourself down too much, but otherwise i love those wheels....

 

i think you're decision well come down to pricing...the Maya's are much more expensive than the Axis. You should take that into consideration.

 

The price difference between the two wheels are big. I would go with the STU's. I believe the Maya wheels are made by Trafficstar in Japan. You should send msg to XkraziX as he had a friend who was trying to sell a set of 19X8 STU's. Also, price out a set of the Trafficstar Mesh II as they maybe cheaper than the Maya. Post pics on whatever you decide on!! Good luck.

 

i can get hookups on both, only a 300$ difference

also, will 225/45 (or 235/45 not sure ) wheels/tires rub any?

 

Wow, that's pretty good pricing! Can you PM on your hookup?

Thanks.

 

MAYA! axis is a stronger wheel though...

 

ill email you info after this week of finals, but will the size rub?

 

Go with the Mayas.

 

anyone???

if the stock tires have a 215/50, will 225/45 and 235/45 rub?

 

on 19s definitely 235/35/19

rubbing will depend on offset and drop

 

ok, so what does the second number mean??? our cars stocks say 50

 

and the nittos that fit the mayas say 45

 

those mayas are sweet, hope u can get them to fit

 

ill have em sunday.....if i can figure out what the tire numbers mean?~?~?!?!

 

If you're talking about 215/50/17, then that 50 is the number for the sidewall of the tire, or profile. The 50 means it's 50% of the tread width, so 215 x .5 = 107.5mm sidewall.

 

ohhhhhh ok and the 215 is the ID then?

 

215 is the width of the tire in mm i think

You are correct .

To be technically correct it is called the "Section Width" and is measured in millimeters. Section Width is the distance between the sidewalls. Oh yeah, it depends somewhat on the width of the rim the tire is installed on.

 

ok, so the only matter is 35/19 then right? if the width is 235 its ok

 

on 19x8, yeah 235 would work, you could go wider if you wanted too. To stay closest to stock diameter, you'd want 235/35/19s. That should be almost exactly the same.

 

FOOK, i might not be able to fit the mayas then

 

Tough choice, but I think I'd go with the Mayas.

Exactly, 235/35/19 would keep you close to stock. 245/35/19 may work, depending on the wheels' offset, but I don't think anyone on here has gone with that size yet so you'd be the guinea pig.
