I dont think either of those come in 16's. What size are you planning/thinking aboiut Krazie. Reverbs only come in 18's and 20's. You'll have more options with the Hiro. There's a set of 19 in Hyperblack on ebay right now.

@ KK: speed is right. i am partial to the hiro . also, if you did not notice, on the reverb, the center of the rim has a blue outline in between the lug nut holes. and like casey pointed out, the word "axis" is merely a different color. also, with the word "axis", on the hiro, it's engraved, whereas the reverb it's not. The depth of the hiro rim is only on the rear 19in. wheels fitting a 9.5in. wide tire. any other smaller rim would actually be flat looking like the reverb. look at the pix for my front rims (8.5in), and look at all four of casey's. his are closer looking to the reverb than the hiro you have posted.

you know i would love to see an 8 with axis "decades" on it or even the "wide tracks" another option for kk is the milano, but do you want a two tone rim or silver? I still say get the Volks!

This is good to know. Any idea as to how much lighter. The Hiro's about about the same as stock.

I'm good about deleting my received messages, but always forget that second tab for all those sent messages.

KK, of course do what you want, but the reason I went with 18's are..

1) 19's wont fit with the lowered car.
2) 18's are cheaper
3) 18" tires cost a lot less!
4)..... well that was pretty much it.


the stagared setup like Xrider sure does look good!.... but it's not as if the non stagared setup is ugly or anything.

dont forget mileage issues...you will get more miles out of tires on 18's than you will on 19's. Afterall, I had nearly 40,000 miles on my stock tires and I could have continued to drive on them....but I needed something with better rubber for autocross. With 19's...I'll be lucky to get half that.
