axis maglites

[luckyxiii]

Honestly, I could kick myself for passing on a set of these back in the day because I'm literally pulling out my hair trying to find a set now. Any help finding a set of four in any size would be greatly appreciated!

I've only ever seen like 2 sets of those in person. Good luck. I'd have them if the 15" came wider than 7".

the racer-x are not nearly as cool as the maglites :lol:
I'd like to see a picture of the 15x8 +40....it seems every picture shows the -10 offset or whatever the so-cow offset it is they offer.
And the spokes on the maglites are thinner, as is the hub...to reduce mass. IIRC the Maglites were near 10lb while the Racer-X is about 15lb

Damn that's a deep dish. It looks like they took it from a washing machine.

I think the low offset ruins the style. I saw that one car on CR that had them and I thought it looked terrible.

A few years ago at SEMA, Axis had a booth to show off their wheels and on the last day, they were selling off sets of wheels for $300-$400 so they didn't have to pack them and take them back. I so should have bought a set and shipped them to myself. I've seen the maglites on a MINI and they looked really good.

To me, 3 & 4 spoke wheels dont work well on a Miata...although they look good on some makes. My .02

[Jack-MX5ATLanta.com]

I need to see more examples of them. I've only seen Mike's old 3 spokes in pictures but not even sure if I saw them on the car or not.

[jesseealexander]

did you have a set of the rota version a while back, kurt?

I had some brand new 4 spoke cheapies. (not Rota)
Bought them with new tires for a song...tried them, looked like ***, although do they look good on some cars....so I sold them for profit. :)

I had the chance to get a set of them a while back and totally passed on them...yeah they're old school but I guess it just took them that long to grow on me.
