Help me pick my rims

Alright.. I'm kinda stuck on what I want. Wheelmax has a pretty good selection, but the main thing I like about them is they are pretty cheap (all the ones I like are $1000 or less and come with tires already balanced + free shipping). Here's the ones I picked out that I like that I think will look pretty nice. Which do you guys think will look best on a sterling mist '01. Sorry for no links to pics directly.. site wont' let me post that many pics.

There were a couple others but I can't seem to find them @ thier site right now.. One set was the Katana Inspires. I really like Evo5's too, but the only place i can find them is tirerack.com and when you figure in tires and shipping, its more than I wnat to spend. Is exel a good durable brand? Also, anyone know where I can find weight specs on these rims? That will help me decide too. Thanks for any input

Somebody likes his spokes! lol...I say none because none of them come in wide enough widths for Triple8Sol to put his stamp of approval on

As far as styles, of the ones you listed, I agree w/zoolyfe.

i'm kinda diggin the exel bk7's the most.. followed by the 10 spoke ones u guys mentioned. I love evo5's tho, i'm still debating on whether or not i wanna drop the extra cash for some.. it'd be like 500 bucks extra :\

I should do some photoshopping and compare.

You might try http:www.autoglitz.com, They have good prices and the customer service isn't bad. They didn't have my first choice in stock so the sales rep made some good suggestions. They also upsized the Falken tires that came in the package from 40's to 45's. I'm happy w/ my BSA's but wish I'd gone bigger. I have the 259's.

So have you made a decision yet on which wheels you wanted US to help YOU pick for YOUR car? Out of the choices you've listed, I don't really care for any of them, but the 2nd from the last (like Trip mentioned) is probably the best looking.

LesPaul, you are on Santa's "good list" for Christmas this year. Save up, get something good, and what you want the 1st time around. Excellent choice of rim and tires (from what I keep hearing).

Just put in my order on the tires from edgeracing.com. Went with 235/45/17 Toyo Proxies. Soo, soon as this all comes in I won't have to look at my ghey stock GXE rims anymore.

Ok so you want wheels from wheelmax for under $1000 shipped mounted and all that crap. Well heres the thing...all those wheels are incorrect size/offset for the maxima. Put 7.5" wide wheels on your car and your wasting a grand. With that being said here is the perfect match. The following wheels are 18x8 w/ 235/40/18 tires at a 35 offset. PERFECT. Buy them and thank me later.



BTW they are in the specials section.

The Katana Inspires are hot. GaMax97GLE has them on his car, which is the same color/year as yours, and they look B.A. Just be sure to get 19's.

GaMax - hope u don't mind the picture, but even if you do I really don't care.
