Default Wheel dealer in Los Angeles....

Okay, I am in the SF Valley. Any wheel/tire places I should go to? I already know what I want. AXIS dosen't make the wheels I like anymore, and the ROTA's just aren't doing it so...I am going to go with the Motegi (MR7) in the same size. Any places people?

I didn't know it was a downgrade, the only ones I like are the "Slipstreams."

What Axis wheels were you looking for.

I have a set of Wheel Site Mesh 2 for sale still..19"x 8 with a 40mm offset which is not common for this wheel.

I know what I want, the MOTEGI MR7 (Gunmetal) 15x6.5/4 lug. I was curious if anyone had any places in the surrounding area I should check out.

I am a bit of a cherry when it come to wheels. Never bought em, didn't need too.

for VPD..check www.scioned.com

If not check Ranch Hill Tires in Lakewood CA.
Last time I checked they had some VPDs.

Also Axis has the Mag Lites in gun metal in 15's but ETA is in Jan. 2004 since they are in back order..too popular.

Hope this helps.

Yah, it was worth a try. The VPD aren't made anymore from what I can tell. Thanks though.

Now why do you have to go and mix me all up! LOL They are pretty close to the Motegis I am looking at not to mention, I figured I would get 15". I like em though.

They're almost identical. I just put em up so you can save even more money. Motegi is nice but you can't beat the price a shop will go down on some katana's.

get the ORIGINALS!
ADVAN A.V.S. Model 7's
much higher quality
better finish, lighter & stronger!


only 15" availbe any more, but sure there's some old stock of larger sizes around.
the bB size is 15 x 6.5 35mm ET


or the dope NEW T7's!


available in 17-19"
Bright Chrome finish is the most luxo
but gunmetal has always been my favorite!

why by some cheap knockoff when you can get the original stuff!

Talk to Randy at Darkside Motoring in chatsworth (818) 349-6221. He may be able to help you out. He is a cool dude and he drives a XB.
