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...

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...
