Ive seen more and more folks get Sportmax wheels and before I think of making the jump to them, I want to know how many of you have them. Also, whats you're opinion of the ride quality you get out of them?

 

[Sid]

I like them. I dont know what your talking about ride quality though. that mostly depends on the tires and suspension.

 

[leatherface24]

Actually, the width on the front would seem like it affects the turning of the car. I could be wrong though

 

[Diego Dangers.]

i have them,. havent used them yet.

 

[JDMAflac]

I have 2 sets(weird story), haven't put them on yet.

Wouldn't that be steering response and handling, not ride quality?

 

[Flyineunos]

Got them and love them. Car looks great and handles better in the turns. Although with all the negative camber I have, it should. Ride quality is good considering I run KYB AGX set at 8 allaround and FM springs.

 

[coupeloop]

cheap rims+good offset+nice amount of lip FTW!!!!!!!! - and yes i am running them +1

 

[Max_Power]

I got the Sportmaxs, I sold them but I'm still thinking them

 

[leatherface24]

I pmd you twice Flyineunos. Thanks for the replies. fwdtamiya yeah thats what I was getting , thanks

 

[SermonNation]

I have them and LOVE them! Handles great, looks awesome, and no problems with turning or rubbing. Like FlyingEunos, I have KYB AGX's and FM springs, but mine are set at 6 rear and 5 front. I rolled the fenders also and I have NO problem rubbing. I also don't have a lot of negative camber yet. I went with 195/45-15 Kumho tires.

 

[leatherface24]

cool. my car looks pretty much like yours so that pics deffinatley helps

 

[RusMan]

I have two sets, love them. Hadling got better with these, more stable in the turns especially long ones.

I recall seeing that someone had broken at least one of their Sportmax wheels. For everone here that runs them, how do they hold up in the long term? Especially for day to day driving on various-not-always-the-best maintained roads?

I heard about a SPORTMAX group buy for $200 but I can't see it anywhere...any help?

wow, if you can find it, count me in.

he broke it when he drifted into something i believe (rusman can correct me if im wrong)

lots of rims woulda broken from that impact. the good thing is if you do damage your sportmax just get another set for cheap lol

Found some for $115 each, not all too bad, but then again, this is the first place I looked.

[Dicker]

115 each is stupid expensive.

you can get them for 350/set all day long.

 

[boogie van]

yeh, about $350/4 is the lowest ive found. I think on scionlife they have a group buy clearance price of $320/4 for the red ones.

edit:Its $330, and thats not including shipping. Could be a good deal if you can pick up locally.

Its an archived thread, but look at the date, its pretty recent, last post says he still has a few sets.
