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

    ok too be honest that picture of the shattered wheel kinda boggles me. i glanced a guard rail with my car and my left front wheel took the first hit. i was doing about 80 btw. the wheel did not break nor bend..just chipped out little sections where it hit. my strut bent instead. ill post a picture tonight when i get home. but also if your gonna hit things hard enough to break a wheel then you have more to worry bout then the wheel itself IMO.;)

      All I have to say is new tires should not cost more than new wheels ;)

        Look for deeper spring hats. As Ed. The guy who posted above you. Ciao.

        As for the car, do what you like and be happy, but don't go cryin' if they bust.

            i was looking at drop hats but i think they'll drop it too much, especially with a lip+splitter. im just going to change wheels. it might resolve the problem. if not i'll just go for coilovers and sell my current suspension setup entirely.

                      this is probably not the best to make my first post, but i'm suprised how many of you guys are making some pretty big assumptions here about sportmax wheels, did anyone take the time to research where the picture came from? it was on a miata with stretched rubber. the guy was drifting, and slid into a curb.
                      here is a link: the guys username is RusMan http://www.clubroadster.net/forum/vi...light=sportmax

                      i realize that some of you may not like the style of sportmax rims, and thats perfectly fine, but you have to admit they are different then most wheels out there, and in my opinion they fit the styling of the bmw e30, much better then say, e46 M replica wheels.

                      now my 318i is running a oldschool set of Work ewing emotions(lets see who knows there wheels;) ), 16x7 +_25 offset which i think fit e30 styling quite well. my point is, we shouldnt bash the guy, his car looks very nice imo, maybe not how some people think it should look but if he is happy with it thats what is really important:p

                        STOP ALL THE HATE! ur car looks fine with them bro, i agree it could go a little lower, (and the muffler and bumper trim need work) but like u said u live in snow country...i think the 501s look better then the 002s any day...and to be honest who wants to see another pair of kopis,ronals or borbets or for that matter any other weaves...they r all gettin played out, so why not hop on the sport max band wagon

                          Sport max are already more played out that Alpinas, Ronals, etc.

                            1) He was on the track
                            2) He was exiting a turn and hit the rumble strip on the outside wheel (common occurence)
                            3) wheel just gave up

                            the wheel has a lot of abnormal warnings and exceptions on the box, compared to other wheel boxes. Don't mount if O.D. of tire is larger than 31"

                            The fake wheel hardware falls off all the time, we have a small box full of the fake wheel bolts that have fallen off.

                            Other than the miata incident, I've seen the spokes break completely from the barrel, I've seen the lip fold inward like a coke can, blah blah, call me a hater, Sportmax wheels just killed it for me.

                              hmm tuck your rear bumper so you can properly mount that mad tyte DTM can.


                              I don't mind the sport max, way better than bottlecaps.

                              cheers

                                The wheels look good man, yeah they're popular on r3v but who gives a shit. How many guys from this board have you seen cruising in your home town? Probably none. I love how everyone hear is bagging on cheap wheels on an E30. No shit they're cheap wheels, it's a cheap fucking car! But, thaks for pointing out that people probably buy sportmax's because they are cheap. People probably buy E30's because they are cheap. What's that, a pattern? If all of us could afford to buy a set of wheels and tires that cost more then our cars, we probably wouldn't be driving just an E30.
