Anyone familiar with them? How's the quality and are they worth getting? I was looking into getting some, and I know some of the 4th gen guys have them. Any comments are appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I would recomend a classer looking wheel...Somthing that fits the cars personality. When you pick a wheel it should just not be a wheel you like but one you like that fits with the car.

Here is a pic... I have had no complaints... No peeling... Just a scratch that my sister put on one. And I think that it fits the car well... I have heard that the Mille Miglias that peel are the techromatic(spelling)?? The ones that look like dark chrome. I tried Antera's on the car, but did not like the look, so I went with these instead.

Those wheels look hot, I've seen them on a Grand Am GT and they looked real nice too. The Maxima can't have real complex, busy looking wheels...simple spokes like those or the konig tantrums that a few .org members have look good.

It depends what your looking for in a rim...size does matter the biger you go it can affect how the rims apears on the car. I always liked the fitapaldi argus my self im not sure if how they would look on the car check um out...they come 17,18,20. Tell me what your looking for i'll make some segustions. Chrome? polised? clear coat? one piece? 2 peice? 3 peice? combo of polished and clear coat? Give me some ideas and i'll give you some.

whatever style or type, if you got the cash my vote is with 19's. Enkei ex, Blitz, Racing Hart, Ace, Konig.....I personally like the Phalenex in gun metal.

Those are the ones I was thinking of getting...the Evo ones. Are yours chrome or regular? Also what size are they? I remember see a Sterling Mist 5th gen with them on, and it was your car, cause I remember that the bottom pic was in your sig.


To others, I like the Mille Miglia Evos cause they are exactly what you have said, simple. Yet somehow refined. The Pontiac Aztek Sport comes with Evo 19s stock, and I know the Aztek isn't the greatest looking of cars to begin with, but it actually looks pretty hip with them on. See the attachment for a pic of it. Also I like them because they keep the rivets down to a minimum and are not really that visible like some others (e.g Racing Harts). Just my thoughts.

Max'n out, I'm looking for chrome. In about 17" or 18". Our laws are strict when it comes to modding a car, so I don't know how the law applies for size of rims, but we have to get reconstuction papers if we add things to our car or do things to our car, such as lowering it, or putting an aftermarket body kit on. I've heard that for rims and exhaust, you don't need the papers.

They are 18"s and they are regular, not chrome. And I was going to get the Fittipaldi Argus, but I was told that the Fittipaldi line was discountinued.

Fitapaldi wasn't disconinued it was bought out. You can still get the same wheel. I might sugjest the ITC by sebring. It's part of rays enginering which is part of mackin industries...You can see it at http://www.mackinindustries.com/itc.html
It comes in 18x8.5 with a 40mm offset and that would be nice with a 245-40-18 zr tire or if you want big then a 19x 8.5 would be kewl. It's a one piece light weight wheel. Worth checking out. If its not what your looking for then i need more info about what you want.

Have you seen the japanese enkei wheels. They are pure bliss. Go to their website and look at the ex wheels and then tell me not enkei. I think we are all just used to seeing the cheap enkei taiwanese stuff.
