Damn. Beat me to it.

Seriously tho, get something legit like Watanabe's not the Sportmax wanna-bes. Your FC deserves better.

Yikes, I've seen all kinds of prices for these things from $200 to $5K. We're gonna need some kind of ballpark...

Btw, I freakin' love your car... But I'm not sure it'll be the same without the Stars...

haha yeah dude. Switching it up over the winter, but keep it hush on the 512's

franco... my car is an s5. i painted it back in july. but thanks anyway!

They are missing a centercap, and don't have tires, so i'm thinking in the 5-600 range. I'll be trying to sell them locally if possible obviously.. unless someone wants to come here and get them :P

dont dooo it.. doooontttt !!!!
sportmaxx is still sportwacks

There was once a time where car builders took time and appreciation into parts selection, only the best brands would do, and it was an art... now people just want to look cool and not put any love and quality into it lol


get mustang wheels

sorry i didnt mean to offend anyone. Its just there are other wheels you could consider that have a much better reputation and are just as affordable.

It would be a much more enjoyable community if people would consider waiting for brand name parts instead of cheaping out on stuff. Ebay this, sportmaxx/rota that, spring/shocks this, no coilovers that etc. Wait it out save a little longer, have some nice quality wheels the first time that you wont change your mind or dislike later on. The FD section of this forum is entirely different from the FC crowd. Again I am not attacking anyone.

i'm running JIC coilovers. I'm not worried about what others think of my car, and am honestly trying to figure out how sportmax got a bad name in the first place. Find me another 16x8 (or 17x8) wheel with an offset somewhere between 0 and +15, for the same price.

Look at my buddy's car (the red s4) in the posts above and try to tell me sportmax's don't look good.

No worries about offending me bud, i respect your opinion.

So do I. I'd love some MS01s, but I don't have the money for them. Plus the condition of used wheels isn't that great for the price.

Stock un-reinforced FD rims crack easily when put under heavy load. Does that make them cheap too?

Do what you think looks good. Thats what I did with my starions and have gotten nothing but good comments (from local people) on them since the day I put them on.
