Hmm they seem to be alot the same i'm leaning towards axis based on the brand name. I'm looking to do the same type of setup on my 02 NBP TLS also, specifically the Maya DTS 19.

is it because of the brand name "Axis" that makes it $500 more than the other brand?

Although, that might be part of it, but that's not necessarily the case. Some wheel makers take more short cuts, use cheaper materials/methods, than others, thus cutting costs. I'm not even sure what brand those first ones are. If you're gonna be dropping a decent sum of cash, be sure you know what you're getting.

18x8 +45 is going to rub. You need a higher offset if you're going with 8" width.

The Arceo wheels will work on y/our car and I'm sure it'll be cheaper than the Axis version (that WILL RUB unless you roll your fenders).

yea thanks for the advice everybody. I like them both but the offset for the axis sucks.. it is going to rub if i drop it and stick out a little.. the arceos' will be a better fit.
