Good luck finding them, most of the sets are weak, no one seems to have the sizes I wanted...

Guessing you have a 6th gen, If your adventurous enough and you can find them, I wouldn't go with anything smaller then 18 x 9.5 +35, just need a roll in the rear and possibly spacers, though I'm not completely sure as I have never worked with a 6th gen...

So so quality and heavy. If your just going for looks on a daily driver then they should be fine. If your looking for performance, look elsewhere.

Meh forgot about quality...

like they said... not a great wheel but it will do. i wouldn't do anything less than the 19", offset will depend on the width but +35mm should be a good starting point.

fast1one you sound like a VIP guy. roll, spacers, fitment, fitment, fitment.

In the end I'm just a wannabe after owning an s13 before my max, nothing compares to RWD.

But yes, I am a firm believer that wheel choice and fitment is the most important decision in a car that can make or break it, both in a performance aspect and visual aspect...

yeah my first car was an s14... back before everybody was on sr20det. i'll probably get another one when max is done. its a tie between between wheel selection and drop on either of these cars. monster truck wheel wells.

I wanted an s14, but couldn't find one I liked, so I settled for the max..I too got it right around the time the bandwagon started a few years ago...I just bought it because of the fuel economy + RWD

Sportmax's are okay, but after I put mine on I saw about 300 other cars with them including a newer hatch Si, a grip of 240's, a v6 2002 mustang, and a few people have them on the .org. Funny thing is, you would think gunmetal or silver would be the more common color but the only other color I have seen them in is gold. If you are budget orientated, then these rims are for you (or some other sportmax's). I like the 006 sportmax's. Get them in the widest as then you will have a deeper lip.
