Default agh, wheels.. damn you, axis!

okay, so i fell in love with axis hiros and i wanted to put them on my CL.


$1500 shipped with tires for 18x8.5

well, they only come in 8.5"+ widths with fairly low offsets, and none of them will fit correctly on a CL, so now i want to cry.

im on a mission to find something comperable, or something that i like as much as i like the hiros.... i have always been a fan of 5/6 spoke wheels, and for a bigger car like the CL, i like the spokes to be a little beefier (like the hiros, as opposed to the axis reverbs which are still nice but the spokes are narrower).



$1500 shipped with tires. 18x7.5
(reverbs are also only available in black, gunmetal and gold)

the other style of wheel i really like is a split 5 spoke, like the work meister s2r. i LOVE those wheels, but damn are they pricey.. they are available in a size/offset that will fit the CL. PIAA also makes a wheel similar in design to the meisters, and is slightly less expensive. multi and monoblock are available.

work meister, 18x8, $2890 shipped with tires



PIAA super rozza multi-piece


$2500 shipped with tires for 19s, so im figuring maybe $2000 for 18"

PIAA super rozza monoblock



no price listed, but im assuming they are less expensive because they are 1 piece.

just want some input on what you all think i should do.. i have a while before i make a decision, i just like to know what my plans are.
