So yea, I'm currently on 18" TRD wheels (well, I'm on steelies until all of the snow is gone) and I love em, but I'm thinking it's time to downgrade a bit for daily driving.

I'm getting these.
Sportmax 501 15x7

Here are a couple more photos on darker cars -- one with black 501's and one with gunmetal:

They look good to me :)! However, people on ClubXB were reporting the simulated rivets have a tendency to fall out -- apparently they're just glued in. Hopefully, Sportmax has solved that by now.

Do they come in a lower offset or wider width?

Yea, there's 15x7 et 38 and 15x8 et 15.

I'm getting the 15x7, so the lip isn't as deep, but I don't care anymore. I like the look. Plus, I don't like it when the wheels poke much.

Well, the 501s should hopefully get here next week. I also have -3 degree camber shims going on in conjunction with my 10mm hub spacers... should look pretty sexy.

Looking forward to seeing it :)! (And your report on the ride :)!)

So now I'm thinking about staggering the rear wheels... I'm not sure. It would make the rear camber way more obvious, although I'm not always a huge fan of staggered offsets.
