Hey Team,

I got a 05 TL-(BLK) and is trying to decide if I should go with the Axis Penta of the Axis SuperMesh. I've seen a lot of photos from our fellow members with the Pentas (nice hyper blk) and they look great, but I like how the SuperMesh are straight oppose to slightly rounded.

If you got photos of either on your TL... Please post them. Am open to other wheels as well, but should run in the same price rang. $2k.

Welcoming Thoughts, Thanks!

 

Also, does anyone know how I'm suppose to post images? I tried, but nothing came up..so i posted the links instead.

 

They're both nice wheels. But for $2k, you can get nicer wheels, if you are willing to spend a little bit more for tires.

 

To post pics, look at post #6:

aren't those two models discontinued?

Check out work vs-xx.

 

I like both but if I would have to choose, I would go with the first ones. I'm not a huge fan of the rivets on the 2nd set.

 

Penta are still available. SupeMesh is a bit more difficult to get, but I know a guy selling them.

I like Works VS-XX, the SuperMesh is similar. Works cost maybe 3x as much as these, plus wider wheels I think, which means more $$ tires, and a good chance I'll need to roll my rear. So..

 

I'd say neither...I've had axis supermesh.....they bend so easily it's stupid!! You can bend them just by kickin it lol seriously. Good luck if they're alot of pothole in your area.

 

Check out 5Zigen SC3000 and AME Fin's.

 

The axis supermesh seems to not hold up as well as the pentas, also the supermesh rivets are actually plastic and epoxied on. I know this because i have seen people try to take them off only to find out that they are almost like buttons with epoxy under it. I like both wheels my self, but i would have to say go with the pentas as they hold up that much better then the supermesh. Also they will be much easier to find and not to mention in more then likely better condition. If the pentas came in the same silver that the pentas came in it would be hands down pentas. The pentas only coming in the color it does dosnt offer you originality and the super clean look if you are into that. Not saying it dosnt look that good in the color it does but for certain cars or most cars the general silver looks best imo.

hope that helps ??....

 

neither i like xxr 521

 

If those are the 2 choices, I vote for the Penta's.

 

pentas all the way, those wheels are so hot.

 

Very helpful, thanks!

That sucks...Do you have old photos you can share with the Supermesh on?

Just checked these out, they're nice and CHEAP... too bad they don't come in 19s

Such as...?

I wasn't a fan of these.. thanks though.

Feel free to post photos of wheels on TLs

 

pentas FTW, i owned a set and loved them they look really hot on the TL!

 

What are you riding on now, why did you get rid of them and how much did you end up selling them for (assuming you sold them) ?

 

So I did some photoshop work of the 2 wheels... Hope "ballinfizzle89" doesn't mind I used one of his photos.

SuperMesh:


So far, it seems like more people are for the Pentas.

 

SuperMesh!!

 

Pentas look cleaner. Have u looked at privat netz?

 

Private Netz: They look nicer off then they do on.

What else we got?

 

I was the lucky one to get the set from bigBlackTL (thanks again brother)...i'm gonna have to vote with the Pentas as well ...can't wait to put 'em on!!!

 

Penta's! I almost got them...but then realized I needed more money lol.

 

Cool, thanks guys!

 

SuperMesh!

The rivets look nicer to me when it goes along the rim instead of an oddly placed fashion. Also, the center is nicer with a clean circle.

 

What did you end up getting?

 

Pentas FTW

 

x2!!!!!
