Default Just received my AZA wheels

I waited 10 days to get these, had scheduled an appointment to have them installed today, but last night I get home and find out UPS only delivered 2 wheels instead of 4.

The other 2 are supposed to get delivered today, but now it turns out I need some hubcentric rings, which WheelMax neglected to tell me 10 days ago... Just ordered them from JustForWheel.com and having them flown overnight. Installation should be happening on Friday.

Look great, similar to my progressiv spokes but with bigger lip. Too bad they seem to only have 18" but the price is muuuuch cheaper. Take pictures with them on when they all get in and are mounted, etc.

For now, I am mounting the stock tires, but I plan on going to 255/40/18 front and 275/40/18 rear. Just wondering if 255 will fit without rubbing.

Damn ups..."oh heres two rims , you'll get the other two tomorrow" Wtf!! Thats stupid.
OH, and wheelmax pissed me off several of times. I bought my 5 zigens from them and they scratched two of my rims when they mounted the tires. So I called them and they said they did't do it, and said maybe ups did it ....the box was sealed and had no damage to the box. Then I called them to replace one of my dented rims and they wanted to charge me $150 more for one rim 1050 for a rim I paid 900 for from them before??Wtf .....sorry I had to say that .


But those rims look nice in the box, they sure would look better on your car. Hurry and post pics when you get them on the car.

OK, now the front wheels are in. Just waiting for the hubcentric rings.

Left is the front (18x8.5), and on the right is the rear (18x9.5):

Here you see the difference is lip size (left=front, right=rear). There is 1/2 inch difference is the 2 lips:

don't get me started on ups!!!
i got the same situation, 3 rims received, 1 rim somewhere in a ups warehouse in sacramento!!!

its been 2weeks now and still no rim.
i complained endlessly to UPS, telling them that the 3 rims are useless, i need 4!!! i drive a car, not a tricycle!

Are those true multi piece wheels or are those bolts just ornamental?

Finally somebody noticed that my wheels are knock-offs of the SSR GT3s. That is the reason I bought them. Always loved the GT3s, and these are half the price.

Of course, to answer joust35, that means they are not true 3 piece wheels. They are just a cast. They look beautiful even in person though. For the price difference, they are good enough for me.
