Finally decided on new wheels and tires

I eventually narrowed it down to 3 to decide from and spent the last week getting opinions from friends and family

5Zigen Super Six Hyper Black


G Games 77 Wolf 1-piece Gunmetal Machined


Konig Spec Opal


I ended up going with the G Games as everyone like those the best
I almost got the Super Six, because it would have been 200 dollars cheaper, but my family informed my that 200 over ~10 years in cheap for being extra happy with my Max.
Wrapped in Continental ContiExtremeContact Size:225/40-18
Wheels were 240 each and the tires where 130 each mounted balanced installed
Apparently when you buy lots of tites at Discount they are willing to work on price. when he told me how much it was gonna be I shuddered and he said "oh what king of price where you expecting..." I told him 16 out the door. Then he shuddered ... after talking to 2 people and about 10 min I was handing him my CC for 1600 out the door.
Im goofy happy now

Ill get pics up in about a week. My tires are coming from Texas so they will not be here till next wed/thurs

all in good time my love
still trying to decide between:
1) H&R with illuminas ... wont be on the market till nov
2) JIC or TEIN coilovers

I dont really need the adjustability so much as ride quality/ability. Im gonna lower it ... but NOT slam it. 1.4-2.0 inch drop. I do not like the tucked look

wheel gap is messing your groove yo

seriously, the spokes on the rims look a bit thin. it makes your max look fat and bloated

I was thinking about ordering those wheels this week actually...but discount tire direct doesn't have any 18" gunmetal ones in stock. Where did you order them? I agree with everyone else that it needs dropped. They just look so damn small I dont know I'm having second thoughts. Also they only come in +42 offset....how is that working out with the rear wheels. Does it look strange the way they are kinda tucked in there? Post a few more pics if you don't mind.
