sure it would. Mesh is something that's supposed to be functional and subtle, not something that has attention drawn to it. If you keep the chrome mesh, you should think about chroming the black plastic sections of your grill, getting mirror tint instead of black, chroming the windshield wiper and plastic surround, etc. to carry over the theme ;0)

Like I said though, other than the mesh, the car looks great!

Love it!

Did you need spacers to make the Axis Milanos fit? What offset wheel did you buy as there are a few options.

Thanks.

No, I did not use spacers. Unsure of the offset.

Okay,
Thanks. Are you running stock suspension and brakes or is teh car lowered?

Can anyone confirm if it's the 37 offset all around for the Milanos?

I'm ready to order some.

I have bilstein shocks and H&r springs. #2 pads up front and #1 pads in the rear. The brakes are stock.

I got a wholesale quote from a "friend" who owns a shop for a set of Axis Milano "Style" rims 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 for $1,000 U.S. These apparently are the same as Monet Gothic rims which are both made by the same manufacturer.

The seller states...
...."4 BRAND NEW CARLSSON STYLE STAGGERED Rims.
...."These wheels are manufactured by AXIS's OEM manufacture. Same as AXIS Milano."

What do you guys/gals think of the price for the knock off of the knock off? Meaning, They are a knock off of the Axis Milano which is a knock off of the CArlsson 2/5 rims.?
