Default RIMS so many choices

well, i was talking to someone and they said AZA rims were good for the price that you pay. I was really impressed with the Z1 alloy rims ( www.azawheels.com). They even look like th SSR GT3 rims i like too! Does anyone else have any suggestions or info on rims for one on a budget? The price for those with tires is 1560 (18x8.5, 18x9.5), so if anyone can beat that , please let me know. thanks!

Check out www.wheelmax.com. They have it there for $1499. I don't know what tires they come with though, but you can call and ask. I thought about purchasing them also

I just bought these off of eboy. They go on the car tomorrow wrapped with Pirelli P Zero Neros - 245/40 front and 275/40 rear. The are 8.5 & 9.5. I'll post pics. The rest of the line is really nice. Great for the price. $750 delivered!

The Pirelli P Zero Neros are probably the best bang for the buck. Even though they are not just a Summer tire, they certainly not only look like one, but actually out perform some pretty expensive Ultra HP Summer tires in lots of categories. Very high dry and wet traction as well as a 400 thread wear rating and probably the most quite tires out there. They may not have a cool unidirectional tread pattern like the Yokos, but they grip the road like them at half the cost. Even though I won't be driving them in snow, they sure could be. I had them on my Supra. Great tires!

Those AZA wheels are nice. Too bad the Z1's in 19" are not out yet.

I like the SSR's as well. I think tire rack quotes $3k+ for them with tires.

Wow, I really like the Sport Max 962's, which are currently on sale shipped w/ tires for $1150.00. I can't find any information related to what tires come with the package. Anyone know? The specials page is located here





Anyone know what tires come with the wheel package?

Default sportmax 962

i liked those 962 as well but i talked to the guy a week ago and said it cant be done for 350 cuz the offset is too big. actually, does anyone know of alternatives to those style rims??? I like the z1 and all but i think those mesh style rims ( i think) have too much going on.

the tires that go with any package at wheelmax are HANKOOK H405 or 105 i believe... Low budget but they get the job done. Reviews are pretty decent for them as welll

PS Let me know if the pics load for you.
