Ya no stickers looks clean, but stickers show off the fact that you have quality rims on the car. Either way they look good

If you get a chance, can you post a picture of a side profile shot of entire car? I want to see a better view of the gap between the fender and tire. Thanks in advance!

I have the same wheels but I am unsure on what size hub rings to order. If you dont mind can you post what size you ordered? Thanks!

The hub-rings I got are Outside=66.06 to Inside=64.15. Without them, I noticed a vibration over 60 mph...installed rings today and NO vibrations at all! Very happy.

Cheap (priced) Volks ftw.

I may have to swing by the Nissan dealership right next to my house and see how much they are asking for these there.

Sorry ifirahse, the last pic above is the best one I have showing how flush they are. IMO, the wheels stand out a bit too far....they are barely inside the fenders. I have plenty of clearance for my BBK. I think a +38 offset would be perfect, rather than the +35. But, I am nit-picking...I still like them very much and better this way than set in to much.

Please feel free to post other pics of these wheels...I'd like to see how the Gunmetals look.

Maybe you guys can help me...I've been torn. Ever since I picked up my Type S, I wanted Axis Pentas. I jumped at these current wheels because the price was right. But, I'm still thinking Pentas would look better, and sell these. Any opinions?


A crappy pic, found on the forum, but would look somewhat like this.

I'm a big fan of mesh wheels, but at the same time these are a hard deal to pass up. I'm considering pulling the trigger as well.

Do the spokes on your nismo wheels go outside the diameter of the wheel looking from the front of rear. I like them alot but before I buy them I want to make sure the spokes don't stick out.

KevinH1847, the Volks look really classy. I'd keep them on if I were you.

When I first put these wheels on, I had a slight vibration at 60+ mph. I then added hub rings and vibration moved to 70+ mph. My buddy did a poor Static Balancing job...so I had it done right + a wheel alignment...NO vibration at all got her up to 100 mph. Love these wheels!
