Have you seen a car with sportmax wheels in person? They do stick out a bit.

i have not. will i have major rub issue?

Get 16's and swerve like mad to keep your wheels true ;)

Personally i'm not a big fan of rota's, I almost bought a set of helium's for my old crx then I ran across a thread on honda-tech about a guy who cracked the spokes tracking them.

Quick search found this, mind you these wheels WERE powder coated which the baking process does weaken the cast aluminum keep that in mind. I would consider wheels a wear item anyway but ouch...

a ton of fender rolling is needed for sportmaxx 02's. Esepcialy lowered. But its worth it even though they are kinda trendy/gay.lol.

i've only seen 15" 002's on jeremiel5's car. The fit quite nicely. Those wheels you posted would be perfect for autocrossing.

i was thinking about buying them just for that reason. i have yet to autocross my car yet though, or any car for that matter... i am looking forward to it.

ok, i am slowly getting turned away from sportmaxx...but you cant beet the price. what are some other good wheel options? i would like to have a dish wheel.

You could buy my 16 x 7 SSR comps with 225/45/16 Kumho SPT's. Look very good, strong lightweight wheels, few people have them because they are too cheap to spend the money for them.

I have something a bit tastier on the way.

i gave in any ordered the 16x8 002's in all silver. just couldnt beet the price. i got 4 hercules g5000 205-40-16 on the way. hopefully i dont have tooo much rubbing issues. will post pics when they get here.

you won't rub at all. That is a very small tire.

[newfiebimmer]

not too small i hope. roads are the shits around here this time of year.

205/40/16 is WAY too small.

My wifes car is running a 225/50/16, it looks great.

[newfiebimmer]

oh well.....tires are on the way. lets see what happens haha.

[einstein57]

I think my 205/50/16's looked too meaty. I think a 45 series tire is the best compromise.

I ordered some custom made 210/46/16s because I roll like that!

Yeah, her car needs that much tire to kind of downplay the chrome Momo wheels.
