They are going on a SSM 05 TL, in 19" and remember I am an old fart, that is a conservative republican.

i would go with the axis milano

 

If your car is an 5AT, I'd pick the Milano. If your car is an 6MT, I think none of them will clear the Brembo.

 

going strictly by the looks, i'd go with the TSW's... i think the studded design screams sport, thus, imo, not suitable for an "old fart, who is a conservative republican."

 

What size offset do I want in the Milano

Michael

 

Depends on the width. I'd go with 45 offset if it's 9". 38+/-2 offset if it's 8.5". Maybe 32+/-2 if it's 8".

Myself, I have test fitted Yokohama AVS Model7, 19x9 and 45 offset with 245/35 R19 and I'm pretty sure they won't rub. My car is about 1.5"-1.75" lower with Tein Basic.

 

Milano's are the ones I like very much and I beleive they only come in 8.5/9.5 width for 19's. I think it would be perfect if Axis makes them in 9inch width.

 

The problem is, I see 245/35 on 9" wheel looks kinda stretched. So you might want to go even bigger in overal diameter with 255/35, if such size exists.

Personally, I think 8.5" is the perfect width.

Msnowdon, do you like Japanese wheels, like Work, Racing Hart, etc? Check importhookup.com, they post good deals on JDM wheels. I don't think they will cost much more than Axis but of better quality.

 

Those Axis 5-spokes are hot. I'm a sucker for traditional 5-spokes, they always look clean and muscular. Where are you planning to get those?... I notice that as much as I like The Tire Rack, they don't always have the widest selection of rims.

quite nice though i think the axis milano looks great

 

Nice work on the Key Fob for scale. Nice rims too, the mesh does look pretty nice. I think you've done a great job of picking the right size for the car. Lowered?

 

The car is sitting at stock height, I am not sure if I can get away with the A Spec group.

Michael

 

I might buy a set of Milano and put them on, and then decide which to keep.

Shouldn't be to hard to sell these wheels.
