    AND the wheels snobs rejoice......

    Well, they're off, no more sportmaxs for people to use that idiotic smiley with.

    Oh well, atleast they can still use the bronzit one.


    I DEFINITELY need a spacer in the back for asthetic purposes. But I like how the front looks, and the side profile is pretty shibby.

    I got these for a relative bargain. I love efay. They are an actual three-piece as well. I wonder if I could find a wider lip for the back? Would aftermarket lips fit? Are those Kodiak lips I see all the time specifically made for BBS only?

    They're ARE's Old ones I guess, it has ARE stamped on the back.

    Daytime pics (update 12/01)

    I'm pretty sure they're a +30 offset. Needless to say no rubbing issues at all.











    Daytimers tommorow, hopefully it will be nice and overcast so I can get some decent lighting, its been raining for the last 12 hours staight here, pretty rare for AZ.

    UPDATED YET AGAIN:

                      Don't be discouraged by all the people that would prefer Sportmax.

                      You took a step in the right direction. ;)

                        I think the centers painted instead of polished would look better personally. Too much bling for me.

                          Might not be able to use the no sportmaxx smiley any more ...but 've got a new one for you .



                          :p

                          As far as the new wheels , I's say the overall look was better with the sportmaxx's but these certainly have more potential .

                          And yes Kodiak can make custom lips for any wheel , you just have to measure/provide the specs of your bolt holes and that sort of stuff .

                              Well , I thinkk the sportmaxx wheels had a better offset and width which gives a better look overall .
                              But yeah of course the sportmaxx's are crap .

                              Actually this set of ARE's have always been ugly in my mind .....they just remind me of a cheap style that was popular back in the day .
