Dude you made the right call. Those wheels definitely set your Porsha apart. Maybe if you went with red calipers or painted them it would fill up the inside a bit more, since you woudl notice them more. The center cap doesn't look so bad, gives it more of a Porsche aftermarket tuner look like Gemballa, RUF or 9ff.'
btw, what kind of dressing are you using on the tires? looks good not too flashy.

those are Axis Hiro's. I used to own a 350z and they were a popular wheel among Z owners. I think they are awesome looking wheels. Just a heads up though, a few Z owners had issues with the Hiro's cracking...so keep an eye out.

Doubt if they are Axis Hiro's.
Axis wheels have a logo in the spoke and these do not.
Also there is no mentioning of 5X130 on the Axis site.

Maybe they are knockoffs or maybe Axis made this model without
their logo specially for Porsche.
Anyway , here they are with black center:

I like the look and fell of them. The center caps are a work in progress though.
Here are a few pictures and a movie driveby.

They are 235 up front and 275 rear. And are Hankooks. So far the tire is quiet and hold the road just like a champ. My car is lowered on Cargraphics springs.
And thanks guys for the comments!
