There's a big style difference between the rims the OP posted and the rims on that Supra. One looks good, the other might look good on a Civic.

Yeah, wait to find a deal on something a little nicer...

Try checking craigslist also, I managed to pick up a set of 19" Volks for $650 and a set of MSR 20s with brand new tires for $500.

Here's my car on xx 006 slammed. Yes they are cheap but look good with spacers. Nice bang for the buck if you ask me. With that being said, I have a set of work wheels to order up not month. The xxr's will be my winter setup.

I ran sportmaxx on both my s-chassis which were drifted on a regular with no issues, and i'm currently running XXR on my g with no issues what so ever. Also to hotel crazy, dude your hating on XXR but justifying megan headers elsewhere I don't understand that at all. I'm going megan long tubes as well but still you defended one cheap name brand and dogged another whats that all about? To the OP just pick your wheels carefully and be sure its what YOU like, as for other people stop worrying so much what everyone else thinks man. Laugh at me for my cheap wheels I don't loose any sleep over it. Also I can give you a good site for XXR just pm me.

If it's the same company, then saying XXR > Sport Max = saying Stern > ADR.
While you're getting a nicer design, the wheels themselves are just as cheap, and probably cost just the same to manufacture and ship to their warehouse. The biggest difference is how much they're making from you.

Yes they are cheap.
I got mine for free (5 total) on my previous car. They held up great but since they were free- I can't complain. Sidenote: be VERY cautious of the rims that have lip, even a small amount-they are very soft in the center and can dent/bend easily if you aren't careful. Ask me how I know.

I didn't love them but I also didn't hate them - so I rocked them until I parted out the car.



Would I put them on a G? Personally, hell no.
There are plenty of wheels around the price of sportmax/xxr that are of better quality and finish.

Just my two cents.
