Default Anyone have these wheels???


they are on wheelmax for 1150 with tires. 18x8.5 and 18.9.5 they looks like knockoff nismo but that price isnt bad. I need a set of 18;s around that price that are light and descent looking.

Yeah I know, but hard to find good wheels and tires for around 1500 in 18's.

Some simple division shows that this is about a $144 wheel. My guess is that it is cast, and weighs 25 pounds plus. How will it hold up to stress like pot holes? Like any other $144 wheel will. And that leaves you $144 for a tire. Are you sure that you want to drive 100 mph on a $144 tire? Not me.

better get some forged wheels, just save a thousand bucks more instead of being hasty and getting something that won't last nearly as long.

don't have those wheels, but i can tell you not to order from that website.

i had a terrible experience with them when i was getting wheels for my old car. stay away from them, they are nothing but a huge headache!

Considering I get my falken rt-615 265/40/18 for that price...yes I will drive on $144 tires. If you pay retail your not looking hard enough...
