Why so much hate on Axis wheels?
It seams like every where on this site people just hate Axis wheels. I never really put them in the same category as like Motegi or something along those lines but around here it seams that way. I like the way a lot of there wheels look, what are the issues that people dislike about this wheel, just curious any opinions are cool.

Oh wait, they misspelled performance... it probably was a five-year old.

haha, I've never hated Axis wheels, but in essence they are what they are....1 piece cast alloy wheels.
Though their designs look good, you can't hide behind the fact that they still made in Taiwan wheels. The owner of Axis actually lives down the street from me, he's a really nice guy, I see him driving in his GTR every so often.
Either way, rock 'em if you want, just don't expect the get the kind of respect that you would w/ any Japanese wheels.

think of it like this.
Seiko/Citizen watches = Axis/Motegi
Cartier/Movado watches = Volks/Works
Craftsmanship, quality, material, design, etc are all part of the equation.
Seiko/Citizen watches are not bad... but they are definately no Cartier/Movado

read the article. its quite good, they are missing some things which i wish they would have tested but they didn't.
basically weight, density (same thing).
they didn't test strength but they acknowledged it.
