I think a gunmetal/dark grey would look sweet on your car!

What do you think about Rota SDR's?



17x7.5" weighs around 17 lbs.

http://www.jaydm.com has them pretty cheap right now.

Thanks...48offset ugh! this is what I have been going through for a month, I find something, but it just is not right, my goal is to have a 7.5" or 8" wide wheel and 30-35 offset, if it means running a 10mm spacer, but even with these it would only make it a 38 offset.

The search continues...

I like something a little more simple and smooth. the Max doesn't have a lot of warts and bumps on it, so neither should the wheels.

check out the 5zigen Typhoons....they are 5 lug and offsets go as low as 23-29, plus they have a sweet 2" or so lip and go up to a 9" width in 17s. many of the 240 guys rock them. very nice gunmetal and regular finish. usually go for $200 each.



$200 @ victoriatire.com

if you get them I will fly to Cali and clean them for you everyweek...I love those wheels!!

EDIT: if you order make sure Victoria gives you the right offset, if they can't let me know I have 4-5 other sites that sell them!

Although I wouldn't trust Wheelmax, they have a nice sale on those, in gunmetal or hyperblack. Buyer beware...

No personal experience, but just Google for "wheelmax bad" and you'll receive about 10-15 posts from Subaru, EVO tuners who have been hosed by those guys.

1. Extremely poor customer service
2. They ship wrong size tires on purpose to get rid of old inventory
3. They sell knock-off Taiwanese rims (Exel I believe, is one of them)

Haven't spent too much time looking into these guys after hearing about the bad news. However, they seem to have good prices, which is unfortunate...

I really like the Exel Ennio, which are ADR Kasai knock-offs, and they have them in 17's with rubber for $599 shipped. Too bad it's not a perfect world. Has anyone heard of Exel? I haven't, and I've seen the exact same rims duped under different brands in older tuner mags over and over again.

Spend the money and get legit wheels... I wouldn't trust them.

thanks for warning. well noted.

you might as well wait another 6 months and save more cash and get the exact wheels you want. see them in front of your eyes before you buy them. thats why i hate auto deposit at ATMs. i want to see the cash going in the bank at the teller. and i hate direct-deposit. i hate credit cards. show the money to me for real. show me the wheels. show me the turbo max. show me big foot. show me the UFO. show me the skyline.
