Heavy and cheap...:-\ I went from 20+ lbs ssr sp1's to volk ce28's....relieving that unsprung weight on the s2k change the handling and feel of the car completely...its not really worth adding the weight...plug i dont think they really make the correct offset for our cars....save your money and get some used volks from the forums...thats what i did and im super happy with my setup :-D

i have both TE37's


and GTC's.
i personally love the Volk GTC's for show.


one for track and one for show/cruzin. the Axis Halo is a great looking rim. and comes in the perfect off sets and upgraded widths the most of us are looking for. And you dont track them.....go for it! The Axis super penta is also nice.

The man behind the company puts Axis Halo's on his Porsche GT3 and other high end cars!

Lummie your signature is putting our s2k soft top to shame, we have 3 second soft top recline, ,your sig takes more than 7!!! LOL!!

As far as original post goes, i think they look pretty nice, and as another post said they dont weigh much more than stock ap2's so whats the big deal, especially if its just for chillin...

If you like 'em and get a good price on them, get 'em!

But than again another one said it changed the handling of the car entirely, would like to know what kind of wheels he had before. As the ones he got after are significantly lighter than the ones we are talking about or stock.
