Check out this website. Dirt cheap rims, get 18's for $499. I wanna know if anyone got wheels from these guys? 2 year war. on chrome. Someone buy from these guys so you can give me your opinion on the wheels. Just another knock off wheel company, that's all it is.

They are pretty cheap, but they don't mention a thing about shipping.. Or perhaps they do, but I didn't see it. anyways, I'd expect them to rape you on shipping costs in order to make up for their low prices. If shipping is reasonable, you should definitely try getting your rims here. Thanks for finding this website

 

I have been talking with the guy who runs the company for awhile to see if things check out. His company is in Southern Cali. I live in the Bay Area. Shipping for me will cost $70. That's cheap. I have been talking to him on AOL. I said I wanna know why your rims are so cheap. What is the deal? He said because it is a small outfit and some other things which made sense. I'm gonna order a pair eventually from him. Here is his AOL name if you wanna hit him up. ((kenkr08))

 

Make sure if you buy a wheel/tire package from them, you can get correct sized tires to match OEM O.A.D.

17" wheels = P225/50 R17 (or) P235/45 R17
18" wheels = P235/40 R18 (or) P245/35 R18

The sizes they list on the site as available for the wheel/tire "packages" do not match what you need to retain the overall diameter for speedo/odo accuracy.

 

That is CHEAP

Chrome 20s for 1,250$? wtf? lol
holy crap.. I'll buy a few sets and re-sell them locally :O\


let's keep this site on the DL


btw, thanks..

 

yeah, but no ones actually dealt with them.. i wanna a set too.. but i'm not sure it's worth the risk..

 

website looks like ****..

 

sprint i was gonna say that, it loks like a 3rd grader designed it.

 

I would ask where they are made. I used to live in Asia for a while. There were problems with rims cracking and falling off for some of the rims made in China and Taiwan. I would definitely ask where thay are made. Wouldn't want that to happen now would we?

 

I hear ya..."cheap" might not just refer to the price....

 

my best friends sister made a better looking website... shes 7. whats with the html code at the bottom for the counter? if they want people to take em seriously get a better site.

 

what's the deal with this guy?

 

the site looks like crap

 

You gonna buy the site or just hack it to *** or buy the wheels? Figure-it-out!!

 

Those prices do seem pretty cheap. What kind of wheels are they selling? I didn't see any "brand" name it just said "racing" wheels.

BTW - Anyone know what the proper offset is for 17" wheels on a '95?

 

just remember fella's.
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

yea im definlity sketchy seein that everyone of their products is cut and pasted from some other websites as u can obviously tell, ill talk to him online, but if its for real, im goin after those 5 spoke black wheels! bam!

 

I bought some 17x7 Wheels which were made in malaysia. No problems yet and they look nice. $120 Rage 5.0

 

bought from that site?
yes it looks shabby - does it show prices for tire/wheel packages?
not that im jumpin for it

 

I'll be cruzin' in cheapo wheels!! I know they're bull **** rims but at least they will look good for a few days if they can last that long. I'm gonna be ballin with these sewer lid wheels!!

bats are cool.......

 

whats lexani? i never heaerd of them..or maybe i did
. i like some of wat i see not that its a big selection.
someone check it out

 

The Chrome has a 2 year Warranty babes.

 

Hehe. Cruzin' and crashin' are two different things!

 

I agree if that guy is legit and wants to be taken seriously, he really needs to get a new web-site!!! Take Care

 

That's a steal of a deal!!!!

 

fu<k all hoes! all you hoes!

 

okay guys
The website is not THAT bad... Yes, it's very simple and stuff, but there are way worse sites out there selling stuff. I have nothing but respect for Greg but do you want to tell me that custommaxima.com is an amazing website? I think it's good for what it is, it's simple and easy to read. Straight to the point, no un-needed bullsh*t.

Now the idea that it's not heard of and the prices sound even lower then distributors probably get them for.. that scares me. I can buy those wheels and re-sell them for double the price. 20s, no matter what kind they are should not cost 1,200$. period.
If it's legit, me and this guy will be doing business soon

 

It's spelled "hos", dumbazz.

Hoes are garden tools.

If you can't speak properly, at least spell properly.

 

I don't care about the website, I just care about the rims. I just want to know If they are a decent quality and they wont turn green in a month. I could give a rat @ss about the sight for that price.

 

A perfect example of a company with a bad web site and great service:

www.warpspeedperformance.com

Not a put down on them, however...they have alot of good information.

 

Hey, maybe he'll throw someone some rims for free if you hook him up with a nice site. You never know.

 

WOA! Ill be right back!

 

You geek

 

I smell rims for it with tires!

 

You serious ? What kind of rims ?


..being a computer wizz really pays off !!!!!

 

Hey, it was my idea. If I was a geek I'd do it for a wheel package.

 

guys, it's not that hard to make a decent looking website

 

not at all, i sent out the email 20 minutes ago
