AXIS Hiro's???

Hey everyone. Have you guys seen these wheels? Or better yet have you seen them on an RX-8? I just got my car and like these wheels. They come slilver, bronze and gun metal. My car i red.
I'm new here so any pics of cars with wheels. Just to get ideas. Also where to buy?
Thanks for the help.....

Here's a site.
http://www.wheelstudio.com/axis.htm
$2,200 with tires/ staggered sizes. I believe package #4 is the sizes cortc has.
By far the best looking 8 I've seen so far.

The sizes are 235/35-19 and 265/30-19, car handles very well; tire pressures are very important to insure nice neutral feel... Tested several; best is 32psi front and 36psi rear... I originally stated that the odometer reads correctly now, not true; after further testing it is the same as with stock wheels and tires about 2mph error; indicated 76 is actually 74...

Oh yeah and the offsets 45 front 55 rear... Plenty of clearance; no need to roll fenders even with a 1.5" drop... I firmly believe that rolling fenders is a bad thing and it is usually done because of a bad wheel tire fitment... This setup also preserves the geometry of the suspension very well...

I've had Hankook on my Maxima and they aren't bad as you state them to be.. they were pretty decent tires.

All four were U$596.00, compared to the SO3s I had on the 996 they are as good and U$400.00 less... After researching and buying these tires, I will never again buy tires for the name as you can find as good a tire for less...
