My RL in 20" Axis Pentas

OK guys so i did it again 3rd set of wheels this year.. I always like Axis as a wheel company so i went with some Axis pentas.
Im happy with the outcome so far. I really like these but Ill probably get something new in 6 months i know myself. lol So I decided to go with some:

20" Axis Pentas
Wheels - 20 X 9 with a 40mm offset with a nice lip!!!!
Tires - Street Competition Federal 595 EVO's


Overall great handling with wheels and tires. Tires and nice and soft they really stick to the road and are great on rainy days.

But i had some trouble getting the front wheels to fit in the front. They rubbed the Acura letters on the calipers. Never been a fan of spacers so i went a different route. So i decided to take it to my boys body shop and did some grinding on the front calipers. Everything came out nice and smooth and painted them. He told me he never done that but i guess ill be the first to say that i changed my cars offset. Now i can play with many more wheels.

Here is a link to more pics.

those wheels look awesome - but I know they will be a PITA to clean... i've had wheels that look like that....

but yes, those DO look good. nice! i think i like these more than your last set.

why do you change wheels so often? do you work for a car shop and get discounts??? it's not cheap to be changing out wheels so often unless you are selling off your old set to offset the costs...
