Opinions on Axis Wheels?

I really like the minimalist look of these rims. They are the Axis Mag-Lites. Anyone familar with them? 4 spokes instead of the usual 5, look really clean, sleek and simple to me but are they any good? Thanks for your input!

IMO, they look nasty. Sorry to be rude, but it's true.

Look, don't get me wrong, they're quality wheels. However, Axis makes other wheels that, in my honest opinion, would compliment the Mini Cooper much better than these four-spoke rims. True, four spokes is unique, but I think it's more because they're unpopular, and therefore, not too many companies manufacture them. Have you seen the Axis Neo wheels? Those would look great on a Mini. Of course, that's just my opinion.

I am not a fan of the Mag-lites (just my opinion). I went with the Axis Reverb in 17x7.5, which I think look great on a Mini. Plus they are fairly light at 17lbs each.
