Question Wheel max.com

Has any one ordered from wheel max? I like the price on the their wheel packages. The Excel wheels really looked great for the price.

ive had 2 sets b4... they were very good, but quite heavy... i think the biggest negative thing would be no stagger on the wheels...

How is no stagger a negative? Doesn't anyone rotate their tires anymore?

well instead of rotation they just change... cuz most people have wider rims in the back... like 9 in the back and 8 in the front..

Most people? Where I live that's still a pretty expensive/exotic thing to do, lol.

Try looking up the AZA Z-2s on wheelmax.com -8.5" in front and 9.5" in the rear , but I really like the staggered HP Racing Evos on wheelsnext.com -8" in front and 9" rears in the dark silver finish, those are probably going to be my Summer/show wheels

They're pretty good. I ordered a rim and tire package from them before (Katana rims 18x7, Falken tires). The set was for my Eclipse. The wheels came packaged well. The only compliant I had was that they did not include the centering caps with the wheel. I ended up paying $20 bucks for a set.

I purchased some 18X7.5 split five spokers in "hyper black" from them for my ladies' 03 CRV. They've driven across America on 45 aspect tires and stayed true. Oh, they weigh 19.5 lbs.

do some research and check and see how recent orders have been treated...

I knwo awhile ago some people were up in arms about how long it was taking stuff and not really getting back to them etc etc...

but they may have fixed that, I dunno...

I ordered rims from wheelmax.com before and they shipped them out quick. The tires that come with the rims arn't for **** but you can just order rims without tires and select your own. But anyways I had no problems dealing with wheelmax.

The guys working there always have to get back to you if you have any questions about weight, offsets or whatever isn't right on their screen.
