> I fail to see your argument as manufacturers spend alot of time and money designing wheels to suit the vehicle. Unlike aftermarket wheel companies who most likely hire people that rode the short bus at the time to design atrocious wheels that consumers such as your self purchase

What arguement? Did i bash the Oem look at all? I was just talking about preference which mine tends not to be the Oem look… Now as far as the guys who make wheels being a special type. Only if they drink a lil to much tequila. Below is about the process from Axiom. Next time I am in Miami I will take some pics of the new facility.

AXIOM wheels are produced to the very highest standards. Our pursuit of excellence in wheel construction and streamlined order production processes are what allow us to deliver a consistently high quality wheels that are truly custom manufactured to our clients specifications. It issimple to speak of high quality and customization, but quite another to deliver.

At AXIOM each order is scrutinized to ensure that the wheels and any customized components\* such as brakes, body panels, driveline components, custom tires, etc, are correctly matched. After this step, the order is placed into our production queue where the centers are CNC lathed and milled from aerospace quality 6061 Aluminum Forged disks to produce the design to the exact speciifcations required by the intended veicle. At this step, each set is assigned its own unique production control number to follow its every step in the production chain. After inspection, the centers are deburred and sent to final finishing where each design begins to take its own peronalized look, based on the clients preferences. Once the finishing is complete, the centers and rim components are joined together by hand, on our proprietary assembly fixture which simultaneously verifies, centerbore diameter, depth, and lateral as well as radial runout. After final assembly the wheels are inspected one final time for strict adherence to our quality standards, and are then boxed and readied for transport.

\*Non-standard or customized parts including Aftermarket brakes must be disclosed at time of ordering, and may affect certain aesthetic elements such as outer rim width
