axis PHIN

I did actually ordered LM6 from CEC about two weeks ago.. they said they don't have black one painted. so, they send them somewhere to paint them. They called a week ago and said the painting came out kind of black orangish color... wow... then I was looking at Franks' new rims and thinking of getting that Axis rims.. and it looks nice, too. So, I'm about to cancel the order for LM6 which costed $7300.. and get the Axis Phin wheels.. I don't think the LM6 with $7300 is worthy. How is the Axis wheels' quality in performance?

i thought so too. i ordered them bc i didn't want the rep lm6. i could not find any good price on real lm6. well, i'm glad that it took this long to paint them so i can cancel the order now.

True. but rep carlsson looks more real than rep LM6. somehow lm6 looks cheaper than rep carlsson 1/16.

well, it depends i guess. the replicas i sell are very very similar looking to the original LM6. Even people with real LM6 will have a hard time finding the difference.

never go to CEC... they take retail and add 50%

Harris could likely get those wheels for half what those idiots quoted you.

There are more then 2 companies out there that make the LM6 replicas. I sometimes get the velocity ones and the quality is really good for a replica.

I dont get it.........

You buy an expensive car and you want replica wheels.
Either save your $$$$$$$$ and buy something within your price range and non replicas, or stick with what you've got.

Just my 02.
