        and me


        too much fender gap for those wheels. maybe a little bit bigger sidewall on the tires would help.

                They are dirt cheap , street price is less than $100 per wheel .

                The 15's are like $10 less .

                    The only reason why they look better than most cheap wheels is because Sportmax actually gets the offset question right.

                    Anywho... definetly waiting to see the 'deep' dish still. If that's 'deep' then my current set of wheels is an abyss, and the following one will be a black hole. :p

                      screw the nay says... the sport maxx's look nice... rest of the car needs a little work but you cant do everything at once

                      whats so "cheap" about sportmaxx anyway, aside from the price? I've never heard anyone complain about their quality.

                        Where's that picture that Jon posted? That'd answer your question about quality in an instant.

                        Those wheels are beyond shitty. They dont bend, they crack in pieces.

                          yeah, if a wheel suddenly cracks instead of bending, that's a very brittle metal, which gives no warning of failing. and that's bad.

                          It's how the wheel is made, Probably quenched, giving it it's hardness, but sacrificing it's ductility, giving to a brittle wheel.

                          Alot of giving going on here.....lol

                            that was one incident out of thousands of wheels sold. and it was a miata at that. guy probably was driving spiritedly and smacked the wheel into a curb for all we know.

                              Agreed...

                              Probably wouldn't hurt to have more sidewall just in case.

                                That looks great, any wheel will do as long a you like them, but those look sick

                                I'd say 1.5 in the rear and 1 inch on the front, something like this...
