Ok so I'm about to order my new rims and tires on Monday. Black Axis Reverb 18" 7.5 with BFG g-force t/a KDW 2 (NT) 225/40/18. While searching for a good price I found a couple of other rims which I'm thinking about but need more info. Take that plus the fact that someone who I think has a good eye for cars tells me to stay away from the Axis (you know who you are cuz I'm gonna pm you with this link). So now I'm confused on what I should get. Help a brother out on picking his rims. Thanks!

The other two rims that I saw and the one I most likely getting.

Konig HotSwap - Gloss Black with Hotswappable Chrome Spokes (the chrome spokes can also be painted any color). These look good and new but don't know the weight.


Tenzo GT6 - I love the deep lip but haven't seen on any car and not sure of the weight.



Axis Reverb - The look is nice and sporty but they also weight nothing.

 

Konig or Tenzo. I too am looking into getting the Konig. I love the new look and versatility to change the color on the spokes....gives you a few wheels in one. Honestly i think you hit a homerun with either the Konig or the Tenzo if it were up to me in that order. Good luck and post pics when you get them!

there's alot of 5 and 6 spoke balck w/ lip designs out there. you just have to look. everyone has konigs or axis wheels it seems, be different ^^

 

Axis on a tC = played out. Those new Konigs are very interesting though.

Neothin: do you ever sleep?

 

:? Those are ok rims but just not feeling them. I like the idea of the light weight in the axis. I guess I'll look around some more and break out the magazine's. I wanna be different but I don't want end up with something that looks ok in a picture not on the tc and like crap on a tc. I've seen way too many of those.

So other then too many people having the axis there's nothing wrong with them like they'll fall apart? Who are all these people with axis rims? I've only seen a few tc's with them and they're either gunmetel or gold.

just to show you what a quick search brings up ^^ reverbs are on alot of cars.

if you like the style, dont go for the knockoff reverbs. save some cash and get the real thing, the advan tcII

 

Hotswaps. Hands down.

And besides, lip is played out.

 

and just to clarify, the reason that the reverb's are light are because the spokes are hollow. do you *really* want hollow spoked wheels? I like my spokes filled and strong ^^

 

Hyghgynx ..... i'm actually sleeping right now. my brain is sending telepathic waves to a special computer program i had a friend make. I dream and it types. lets me post 24/7

 

hhhhhhhhhhhhoooooooooooooottttttttttttttttsssssssssssssswwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaapppppppppppppppppppssssssssssssssssss

Sorry...lol, I obsess over those rims a little too much. Only thing I see wrong with them, is that it would be really easy to steal the spokes .

 

Here's a page where you can play with the HotSwap...

HotSwap

I like the blk/red combo.

 

I think now that black car is were I saw the axis and liked them. Also that sucks that those Advan TCII are the originals. They're kind of hard to find waaay too expensive and been around since at least 2003.

I have a lot more searching to do. Thanks for the info.

 

Ok, so I won't be getting my rims on monday. I'm gonna look around some more and hope I can find something before the old town show.

 

Just realized also that the hotswaps only fit the tc in 17's

 

They fit in 18s, I think it depends where you look cuz they're still new.

Yeah, shortly after I posted that I found a site that had them in 18's.

 

i dunno, none are really my style, but whatever you think is best is what you should go with..

 

One thing I hate to see is the wheels that have multiple lug patterns - TO ME, they look cheezy.
I don't have my pix ready yet, but I got the HP Evo Hyperlights and I love them!
