There is a special going on with hotwheels. Something like $550 shipped.

Even water drinkers can afford that.

Take those ugly rims back to super street.

some people just find it unreasonable to put 2-3000 rims on a $1500 car...

sure those expensive rims are lighter...but its a good and cheap alternative for people who cant afford those kind of rims and for people who do not track their cars

there are sooooo many other companies that knock off wheels... but sports maxx though? id choose Rota's over sportmaxxes any day. saving up for sport maxxes is like me putting a number 3 at macdonalds on Lay-a-way.

well maybe that's the problem. why have a sports car, that may be more popular today then when released, that you wouldn't want to track. i never buy tickets to a movie and then not go in!

So true, I am not going to go and spend $2000 on wheels that are just going to get curb rash or dinged up or possibly dented. I dont have the money and I still want at least a little show

agree, pay to play is true...

exactly what i am saying...if the person who is asking about the wheels is not going to track the car...then who cares....if he likes how his car looks with it...go ahead and put it on...

With ANY modified car scene, you will have the SPECTRUM of people and their buying power / taste.

I prefer to be on the save up and buy best parts + good looking side. The crappy, half ass my car side just doesn't make sense to me.

But of course, to each his own.

No excuses, if you don't have money then maybe you should consider not modifying your car.

Instead of surfing Zilvia, focus on how you can make more money (go back to school, go to school, get a better job, get a side job, etc) so that you have the LUXURY of modifying a car properly.

Get that game up!

Yeah, if the spokes were made more like longchamps and a simple design...they would make good beater wheels.

Exactly, and I am not going to stop modifying my car just because I cant afford $2000 wheels. I personally would rather spend that money on say an AEM EMS or something like that.

Now that is one thing I won't skimp on, is engine management

I don't like the style of the wheels, but I think sportmax wheels are a great deal for the size and offset.

If you don't want to sped the money for good wheels, than just don't get wheels. If you are truly more worried about perormance parts for your vehicle, than just run stock steelies. NO EXTRA MONEY SPENT. Stop trying to justify buying knock off shit for your cars. You aren't getting any REAL performance going from 15x7 stock wheels to 15x8 or 16x8 ugly knock off bullshit.
