In the end, it doesnt matter what any of us think. Its your car, your money and your decision. If it suits you, get it. If not, then dont. Dont always let peoples opinions justify your decisions.

i never let other peoples complaints opinions stop me from doing what i want. I DO however believe that a good opinion can stop me/other people from wasting money and doing unnessasery things. Also by examining other peoples mistakes i will feel better about my decision because i know its a good product/ adjustment to my car and not a waste of money.

In terms of wheels, i would like to hear opinions of the quality of the rim itself because just like suspension, it is a safety issue. If a wheel breaks/cracks you will get into accident. If i can get away witha quality rims and not have to give an arm and a leg on the price tag then that good. I dont feed into that "bad wheel/ good wheel" because "everyone runs them/ noone runs them" bs. thats why i want to hear actuall opinions from people that run them instead of a "yes they suck", "no they are great" responce from people that saw them on a website just like me...give a reason. this wont only benefit me but people that want to get wheels without spending a lot in the future.

long rant, but thanks for all your replies

Its not like youre going to road race with these wheels where it would actually matter. Daily drive, who really gives a damn. Its not like its so heavy that you cant spin them. There are work and volk wheels that weigh just as much, yet you dont see people complaining about them. Also, all tires dont weigh the same either. Falken st115 weigh 4lbs more then a ziex 512 in 215/45/17 (23.7 vs 19.8)but people dont complain about it. Point is I think theyre worth it for beater's.

Pro: nice lip, decent style face
Cons: on the heavy side, whack offset

The Falken RT series is heavier than the Ziex, i guess the rT's SUCK, huh? You realize what tires DO, right? They provide GRIP, so it'd probably help to consider how STICKY the tires are instead of some retarded point about weight. Rt's are heavier because they have stiffer sidewalls; those wheels are heavier because they're cheaply made.

volk? even a wider and 18inch volk TE or CE would be lighter than the 17inch sportmax

Thats besides my point. I just wanted to point out the fact that differnt tires are different weights. We arent talking about which tires are better? Of course you would want a better tire, but people concerned about the weight dont even know theres much, if any difference. Of course a te and ce would be lighter, but there are some like work eurolines which arent light, but the people who run them dont complain about weight, whereas people with sportmax do.

Thats my point. Some people dont always have well rounded educated opinions. If someone said, if they sell it on ebay must be crap, of course you arent gonna wanna let that opinion justify your reasoning. I stated dont always people opinions get in the way. But I agree, learning from other peoples mistakes can definitely help in your decisions.

The people that buy Volk Euroline don't usually care about going fast, they care about looking damn good. Furthermore, if they did want to go fast, they'd undoubtedly have a set of lighter track wheels; if you can afford Volk, you can afford dedicated wheels for different purposes.

The original poster obviously doesn't have the budget for two sets of wheels, and PRESUMABLY cares about performance. If you're only gonna have one set of wheels and you care about speed, it behooves you to make that set as light as possible. Now, if he doesn't care about performance, then the Sportmax would be fine, as would ADRs, Rotas, or other associated non-performance stuff.

but how are people going to know that when your site doesn't list shit? If I'm looking for a new set of wheels and checking out multiple retailers I would go for the one that has wheels listed and prices listed. You have 5 different wheels, no prices, no sizes, and no offsets. Why would I call every random performance store with a shitty store front when i can skip over to a good store front and get the order done without sitting on hold.
