The thing I dont like about it is that they are universal and they were just a copycat of HKS dragger exhaust.

They look cool, but not a complete exhaust system. If you want it, go with GReddy exhaust set instead because your sc will benefit from better flowing!!!!

What are you talking about? I already have an exhaust that I am happy with (Greddy).

I am looking for wheels.

Hey Kev & Jane

Go to Mach III in SF if you wanna see the rims in person. They moved to Ocean Ave near CCSF. I went there a month ago and they had 2 sets on display (silver and gun metal), however, I don't know if they still have them though. Personally, I think they look MUCH better in person than in pictures. =) Go check it out.

Those're the 6 star's with the big ugly bolts at each side of em .. They ain't bad but I like the tantrums you have better .. Someone posted a set of these, (or a cloned copy) a week or two ago. They looked pretty good. I'd dig it out for you but I'm just on the way out =)

Hey! Those are the rims that I told you I was getting. What now you want them for yourself?

Actually someone here on the forum has a set of rims that look almost exactly like the fireballs. If I had the cash I would buy the Volk Daytona Speed Rims instead, but they're not worth twice the price ... at least to me.

I guess that's what we'll have to do since I can't find anyone with these wheels. Thanks Jeff!

I don't have the Tantrums anymore since someone took them and I don't want to get another set b/c a lot of people have been getting them lately. I don't really like the rivety things either, but these are the only wheels I can find that are somewhat decent. Yep, I've seen a few wheels that look like these, but I wasn't sure who it was...I may just get the Volks instead..who knows..

Anyone have any suggestions on wheels? TIA

Suggestion: Get the Volk SE37K's and we'll re-swap the wheels again.

The fireballs only comes in 17X7. They don't even have 18". 7" wide rims are too narrow of the maxima. You can't mount 235 tires. Look for something else

Didn't I tell you that when I gave you that list Jane? If not, I'm sorry, I should have.

Good Luck!

For 17s, get rims without a lip. If you want a lip, I would go 18s or 19s.

That's sounds fair. On a sidenote, it's pretty interested to have a fiance that's interested in cars, especially Maxes. I've gone ring shopping with the wife before but never rim shopping.
