I am going to get some 18" or 19" 's here pretty quick and would like some input. Car is clean and cleared out. You might give me your spring/strut reccomendations as well. A picture is worth a thousand words! Thanks..

 

These are teh hotness.

 

It helps if you tell me what it is.

 

the one's im gettin on my 3rd gen...they only make em as big as 18s, which I'm gettin, heres a pic........

 

So far no one has listed a single brand or model which makes this tread really usefull.

 

enkei cp1's are the ones i posted

 

These are a knock off of the SSR GT3.

------------------------------------------

Here is a pic of the GT3. I currently have these on my black 5th gen.
19x8.5 26lbs

 

I personally like these, im getting them next for my black 5th gen.
SSR Competition 18x8.5 16.7 lbs.

 

I have been looking into getting new rims for my black 5th gen max but cannot make up my mind.

anyone out here....that do you think about the exel wheels...junk or ok or what?

then my next question is do i go with 18" or 19"

thanks

 

str8max - Exels are nice, good looking wheels. I would go 19, but it depends on your daily drive. If your roads are crap and have to dodge potholes all the time, 18s might be right for you. If you do go with 18s, don't get them with a lip, it'll only make the wheel look even smaller.

oakes57 - there are a bunch of threads about spring/stut combos on the org. From what I've read I'm going with Progress springs and Tokiko Illuminas due to the even drop and the adjustability of the struts. Also, try checking out different web sites that sell wheels, you'll get a better idea of what you like.

 

exels are good quality, they just copy other brand's styles. A definite cheap alternative, and yes the do look good. Damn.....those GT3s are 26 lbs??????

 

How do you know they are even decent quality? Usually copycat wheel makers don't have quality at the top of their list. Price is. One has to suffer

 

I am thinking about these....whatcha think?

It seems that there is more of a selection with 18"

 

i know cuz a few of my friends have them, not those specific ones, and they seem to ride fine and be made of nice materials, so I'm assuming that they are alright. They may not be as good as the real ones, but they arent BAD.....a lot of them do get sold

 

you'll never really know the quality of a wheel, asside from finish, until you plow over a curb. alot of them get sold due to price, but you can get something alot better for a little more.

 

anything u like, as look as it has a nice lip.... =)

 

Which one looks good? They are all 20's

I am looking at each of these rims.. which one looks the best out of these three?

 

exel?? good quality??

if I won the lotto these wheels would go on my car

 

all look ugly...the last one looks like a wheel made to go on an escalade.

 

I really wasnt digging the top 2, but I kinda thought the last one was okay..
actually, here is a link.. Will it fit a 5th gen?

just to let you know. i've heard lots of bad things about wheelmax ;o...one of my friends also had a bad experience w/them...just givin you a heads up

 

you guys were right.. I saw some side shots of the wheels I posted and they are FUGLY!
