I have been pulling my hair out for weeks now trying to find the right style wheel. (Please dont move this thrad to the wheel/tire forum, cause most people dont look there and I want some opinions) I am looking for dark colored wheel, and have photoshopped a couple of options below. Please give me your honest opinion. The hardest thing about my selection is I am trying to get a wheel that will fit Z brakes and I wont need to run spacers.

Please let me know what you think...



17x8 35 offset 22 lbs.

5 Zigen Typhoons

17x8 32 offset 16 lbs

Volk Gram Light 57 Pro

 

I am really leaning towards to top 3.

What do you guys think?

 

I don't like any of them except the first one you posted. 5 Zigen Typhoons or something.

 

*voices in the wind* buy the Typhooons *voices in the wind*

and plus I've never seen a Max with them...be unique

 

I was so close to pulling the trigger on them yesterday, but everyone said "i dont know how they will look on a max, they are for a rwd super car, blah blah." I cant make up my mind and I want to get something that will last a life time

 

How they look in the pic may/may not be the way it looks for your application. ie.. pic of a rwd offset version might look diff than a pic for a fwd offst version.

 

True, and photoshop always makes wheels look weird. Thing is I am going to have to get a rwd offset in order to clear.

 

ey ya i give up.

i think typhoons will look dumb.

1) ssr comps
2) volk tram light 57 pro
3) black racing n1 (bronze)

those are my top three out off the lot.

 

At first you thought they would look good after thinking about it, they just could look BAD AZZ, nothing but compliments with them.

This girl in my office that knows nothing about cars said nice, cause nobody has them. She told me the SSR style is played out, actually see said "alot of people have those".

I dont know...I am leaning towards the typhoons big time. I can get them and either a Stillen Kit or a NOS Kit

 

you asked for opinions you got opinions.

but do what you want. ultimatley its up to you.

i never said typhoons are not a good looking wheel

im sayiong the same thing i told you before. on scound thought they will look dumb sorry i left out the on a maxima part.

 

it is a gamble.

They could look tight as he!! or wack.

 

why not a racing hart wheel like the CR-1 6-spoke wheel or the C5 evolution wheel. they're light and they look real good. around here where i live the typhoons are played out and i don't think they look good for our cars. just an opinion though, ultimately you should do what you like

 

around here there arent anyone with them. I cant even find a shop that has them in stock to look at.

but I am getting them, they will looks sweet...here are some pics of them on a civic, if they look good on the civic, they will look good on the Max

 

what do ya say frank?

 

now the question is, gunmetal or silver?

 

 

 

also for the price of these, I can get the entire Z brake set up at the same time AND a Stillen Kit or NOS Kit.

BTW: $1250 for them new with warranty and Hankook Z rated 234/40/17, lugs, mounted and balanced, tax and everything out the door.

 

 

 

silver or black? silver or black?

 

I think I like em!

 

Silver all the way.

 

the typhoons are nice but the lip makes the rim look smaller than it actually is

 

I hear ya, usually that is the case. But for some reason they look BIG.

 

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan the first one is the best. Tight if you get those. staggered look 8)

 

silver or gunmetal?

wait, I know who you are

Silver.

 

 

gotcha, gunmetal then? and not silver eh...

 

if gunmetal comes with polished lip like the 240 pictured above, I'd go with gunmetal.

 

Yes sir it does

Another vote...this makes me want them more.

 

to be honest, just looking at the first picture at the top of the thread, I really didn't like them too much. but after looking at all the others, they have definitely grown on my. there was a fellow around here with a similar design on a 4th gen and it looked real nice... I'll try and find the pic.
