    Wheel Identification Question

    I was wondering what wheels these are, they look like sportmax xxr 513s but I'm not sure, anyone know what they are? Also, what size and offset/spacers would give the look like the one in the pic?. Tire recommendations?

    Thanks
    Tim

    I think you're right on with your guess on the sportmaxes.
    I think those one's come in et15 or et0, and trust me -- no one's putting spacers on those.
    They stick out far enough.

      That's exactly what they are. Looks like typical flush E30 fitment--16x8 ET0. Could be 16x7 ET15, but front spacing is a bit over an inch less.

          Don't forget suspension. Nothing looks worse than aftermarket wheels at stock ride height.

            already have some lowering springs from PO. However the 2 factory struts (Front) and 2 tokikos (rear) gotta go! I'm looking into bilsteins. Don't know what springs are on it right now, all I can tell you from when I had it on a lift at work is that the springs are red which doesn't narrow it down much... Here are some recent pics for reference to ride height as it is now.

                Here's a few pics of my previous rides.

                1998 SVT Contour #2356 of 11445.

                This car scraped on damn near everything around here and it really wasn't that low either.

                This Accord was the worst for scraping..
