Yeah thats for a set of 4 with tires. I was looking at those before and they run about $225 each. The only thing is they are 7.5 wide so you need to get the right offset to tuck them. Axis makes some good wheels with good finished so i wouldnt expect any less of these.

unless its a 45mm or more offset, its not gonna fit in your car. Besides, if u are gonna spend that much on your rim, u need to askyourself WHY DO I NEED IT??? well, they do look nice so have fun. For me, nah i dont like skinny spokes or let alone hollow spokes. MOreover Axis rims are heavy to begin with. IF its 20Lbs or more, then its a waste.

its cause ur tires are too small for the rims. LOL a 7.5" rim is to fit the 225 tires, not 205, u use 6.5 or 7 to fit a 205/215.

A 215 tire will work with a 7.5 wide rim, but a 205 will also work depending on the design of the tire. Some tires are just made more "square" so you can get away with a 205 on 17x7.5.

88LXi68, you know more about tires and rims cause u got a V-tec. hehehe, no seriously, its true that you said that some tires have a much square-r sidewall construction than others and even tho its preferred that a bulging or curvy sidewall is preferred, performance tires use a much straighter construction. I was just going along with the stuff i have read in tire testing with different rims and seeing what kinda rims some perf cars come with ;)
