Has anyone ordered anything throught those sites like wheelmax.com or tires.com?

Im just wondering how good those wheels that are replicas are. Or how they compare to the real thing... Im sure they arent as good but why...

Forged vs cast and stuff?


Well if anyones dealt with wheelmax.com Id appreciate some info on how that worked out for you. Also are those wheel/tire packages any good? They advertise some good tires but they dont tell you what comes in the package until you call.

Thanks.

We bought from Wheel Max. Fast and quick delivery and at a good cost.

Yes, I highly recommend WheelMax. I loved the rims/tire package I got.

They have some alrite wheels/packages. The quality of them aren't going to be the best but if you are going for light, and want something nice or different, try... www.revwheels.com They have some sweet colors, are sweet prices and are lightweight. Otherwise, other lightweight and cheaply priced wheels would be Rotas. When ordering a package offa the internet though make sure you don't get honda sized tires (205/40/17).

What kind of tires come with the packages? they dont list them and they only have a "tire" page where it shows all diferent kinds... what kind of choices do you have with picking?

In the package I assume they give you some shitty tires thats why its cheap...

What do people mean when you say honda tire? CVD said that too but does that only mean they are super skinny and not very wide.. thats what the 205/40 would tell... but what else do you mean?

Mine were Nankang NS-1's I think. I love them! The wear excellent and have a great tread pattern, very similiar to another brand I can't think of. They are a german tire, so you can't find much info on them.

I got mine at machiii.net. Pretty good service. Someone screwed up the packaging and they have me $200 off or something like that. Just some light scratches that buffed out. Pretty cheap for wheels, but tires were more money.

I have heard nothing but good things about them from this site. I know several people personaly and trust them that posted good things about them. I know they are doing some type of special for 75 bucks a rim for some things. They also talk about tires on this post on the other board.
(don't worry it is a southeast dsm board and I am not trying to promote the board or anything just a link.)
