THANK YOU !!!! Came across a reference to these and a very small pic while researching the Milanos the other day but couldn't find anything on them.

If the offsets looks good (Hopefully they'll go with the 15(f) and 20(r) like the Milanos..... I would really like to get these in a 18" front and 19" rear. They look good to me.

Now, if vendors will only stock some in Silver and get off the gunmetal/black kick. what can I say, I'm a LeMans Sunset owner.

also.......that silver is gonna go GREAT with the door handles.

I think these will be my wheels, just need offsets and weights.

a little less "BLING" and a little more aggresssion than the Milano.

Damn!!! I was hoping no one could find that wheel yet!
I have already did some research on it. It is a cast light weight wheels that will have some low offset to fit the Z.
It comes in
18x8 (Possibly +15, +20, and on.....) 19.5lbs
19x8.5 (21lbs)
19x9.5 (22lbs)
19x10.5 (not sure on the 10.5, but i think about 23lbs)
****oh, on the 10.5, will not require to roll the fenders****
the 19's will comes with +15 Front and +20 rear offset to fit our Z.
I've spoke to Mike at the Northeastautodesign and Axiswheels as well. They will not making any staggered in 18's and currently is being mold it to put into production. It should be available to the public in about 2 months. Hopefully I will have the first set Directly from Axiswheels, if James don't snag it to put it on his Z When I first saw the wheel, I knew that would make the Z look really aggressive, and a lot inexpensive than Volks, but still have the same quality of forged wheel. I had photochop a picture of it, and with some of the Z members helping me changing the color of the z to match exactly what I'm planning to do in a few months. Let me know what you guys think? I will be running the staggered 19's in gunmetal. can't wait!!!!

Why? Multipiece always end up heavier anyway....

personal preference.

The Axis does look like an AWESOME wheel though esp for the price, these look to be an instant winner for people who want to spend way under $3000 for wheels and tires, they look good.
