So, I think I'm gonna change my wheels up.

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

Whatcha guys think?

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?

burstaneurysm · 03-10-2008, 02:08 AM

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.
