Korean wheels. Not bad for a budget wheel. If you like them get them. It is all about personal taste my friend.

I like the first one best.
You may just want to wait until you can buy a better rim. You don't want to "SETTLE" on your rims. Save up and get the rims you really want, in the end you will feel alot better. Just my 2 cents.

I'm not tho =P Im really cheap lol... and really poor. And if these arent crap I will get them as soon as i get like a few more hundred for tires


I dont see the point of paying a few more grand for forged if they look the same.... im not going for performance.. im going for looks. (call me rice bla bla bla whatever) The thing is I dont race, do any performance things with my car. Its for commuting back and forth to college. And I just want it to look a little nicer

I really don't think they have the right sizes probably. Double check or call them for the offsets and sizes. 700 dollar package will most likely be a non-staggered set up like in size 17x7.5 or 18x8.5.

Well I guess they have the size and offset listed. Good thing.

Probably the best looking budget rims out there. Well, obviously they look good because most of them are clones of other, better brands

Have you bothered doing a search? There are several of us here that have these wheels:

wow chill there buddy... i did do a search but i want to know if these are crap or not

I wanted to find out from those who have them if the rims are good quality, and are still holding together.

I also wanted to find out if this company isnt some crappy one of which their stuff breaks after 2 months.

So chill

I am "chilled" thank you very much.

So to answer your question, the structural quality must be good, because I have hit numerous major pot holes, and they are holding up just fine.

On the other hand, just understand that they have in essence a "painted" finish. It looks like beautiful metal, but the top surface is really a finish. meaning that they can get minor scratches when hit by rocks for example. I accidently spun one of my wheels in gravel, and that rim ended up with several rock chips. Nothing major, but something to be aware of.

WheelMax was easy to deal with. They originally sent me the wrong lug nuts, but overnighted the correct ones after I told them of their mistake. My only disappointment is that my wheels used to come in "Hyper Dark" in addition to "Hyper Light", and only about a year after I purchased them, they discontinued that finish, so now I can't replace my wheels if I need to.
