    Nice pick up. But why is it that from what I've noticed that tires on the sportmaxs always look so tall or beefy. Maybe it's the offset? But even on cars with a drop. They don't seem to look right on the cars.

      Love bottlecaps.

      Once you lower it, it'll look alot better. Camber plates are a must at that point.

        Ew. For what you just spent on heavy wheels and shitty tires you could have had shocks and springs that actually would make a difference in how your car handled. Now you just look like a wannabe gangbanger who's going to hydroplane and die the first time it rains.

            The 501s look way better then b-caps, but you have to lower it to make them look right. Suspension should've come first. :tsk:

                      There's a lot worse you could do as far as wheels. I was actually considering the 501's for a while. I'm still at a loss though for why people do wheels before suspension. IMHO it looks absolutely terrible.

                            People hate on the 'maxorz because they are cheap, and that cheapness generally equates to a weak, heavy. Even Michael Vick can probably still afford them.

                              16 x 7 SSR comps weigh in about 10.8 lbs IIRC from my set.
