I would agree, bronze will definatelly look better with the black cherry. I beleive the coloring on the Axis Hiro's would look nice, especially with the polished lip. Do your homework and try and find these wheels. Since your not in Cali, you may find them. None in Cali, I've already tried.

2 thousand....you planning on 18's? There is a big price bubble between 18 and 19's, especially because you could end up using your stock tires if forced to.

Hiro Bronze in 19 x 8.5

I found another set with staggered fittament in 19.

I'll keep looking. I've got a ton of wheel sites book marked since I'm looking for at set of Axis Matrix soon.

 

I just called wheel studios......no gotz......
im gonna have to pic another rim.......yuk

 

hey shinks, call axis .. ask em what replaced the hiro... they prolly have sumpin comparable .... mebbe ....i dont know

 

thats a thought!!
what would I do without you RSD

 

im all about working around the problem
back!!!

 

I called them...they may have a set in 19x8.5
they will call me in the morning....

im so excited.....

 

Good luck! I hope they have them for you.

Here's another link in case they don't

I think the bronze would look really nice on Shinka....gold is overdoing it I think.

 

I did the same thing...called Axis. Was told that the "reverb" was the available option, and that they had no plans of "replacing" the bronze Hiro option. Reverb is gold, and not like the Hiro at all, unless you focus on the fact that both are 5-spoke wheels.

When you call, see how many sets they have available at 19x8.5. I would still love to get that set for my suger baby.

 

Good morning folks

Update on the rims:

Axis called me yesterday, can you believe they only had 3 rims....omg, 3 freakin rims...I wanted to cry.....so I thought about it and called them back and said if they could fine me another rim that I wanted the set....they called me back in 1 hr cuz they found one in Illinois....YIPPEE...so I just have to wait now till they ship it to Cali then they will ship to me....

Sorry Scott...thats all they had....
but when I was searching on ebay I did find a site that has the Hiro and I got an email from them yesterday that they have them painted and that bronze is an available color...if you want the link let me know, I will get it for you....



PS>.......many tanx to RSD for her suggestions.....its hard to believe that she keeps me grounded ......w00t!!!

 

w00t w00t! Our phone conversation about it cracked me up: "Tell them you are old enough to afford these. Yea, I should say my check WONT bounce. Yea and then tell em to get off their asses and go FIND that last one for you. Yea! Theyve got to want to get rid of THREE rims. I know, why do they only have three?"

Still makes me chuckle! Sooooo glad it worked out (tho I am not happy they found out I was hiding that last one in my basement. I should have hid it better!!)
