Are Sport Max Wheels Worth It??

[burtonrida133]

i was thinking about picking up a set of 18 inch sport max 006 model wheels...though i dont want to go super cheap and dont want to spend a ton of money...anyone know anything about these? they look pretty good does anyone have any input?

Thanks

[ZX88]

if you want 17 inch 006 i have 4 17x8 and 2 17x9 for sale for really cheap.like <$90 a wheel pm if your interested. they arent bad just everyone has them, and there kind of heavy but pretty much just a mesh design which is classic and looks good on most cars.

[murda-c]

Get rota p45s instead because at least those look good the sportmax are ugly.

[Phlip]

I will offer simply that "worth it" is a relative term, it is your money, with which you may do what you like. I am not the one to judge... They offer attractive sizing at attractive pricing, simple as that.

I do, however, hope you have your flamesuit on, because the vitriol is a-comin' at the mention of Sportmax.

[lflkajfj12123]

NO

this question needs to stop being asked

[vespaman]

it's your car

your style

you know how you want it to look like

if you like sport max then buy it simple as that

[Brian]

No.
You are supporting the downfall of the entire industry.

Have some pride in your car and yourself.

[wangan_cruiser]

lol yea no need to ask people out here. coz its a big no no for them about sportmaxxx

[murda-c]

Really it's all about looks, which is subjective. If you think they look good, buy them.

[wangan_cruiser]

yea and if thats your budget. BUY EM.

[Brian]

If that is your budget, quit doing the car hobby and focus on pokemon cards instead.

[smellslikecurry]

industry is already down the drain

fuck it

buy whatever you want

it is your car afterall

[TheRonTom31]

pokemon cards are as expensive as sportmax wheels.

I got the set i have for $200 lol (wheels that is)

[azndoc]

I'm actually selling all of my TEs so that I can get like 20 of them.

Actually not.

But seriously though its your car, your money, and although your not supporting the correct industry its still your car.

We could all tell you how bad of an idea it is, but at the end of it its still up to you.

Weight out your options.

I would say save up a little bit more and buy some used Japanese wheels. 5Zigens are easy to find at a good price, and they are pretty durable. You can even find old Advan wheels in the $500-$900 price range if you know where to look

[Leetheslacker]

buy used sportmaxes. thats what i did. came across a deal i couldnt pass up.

then its even cheaper and youre not directly supporting the terrible company thats bringing the industry down.

and then when youre ballin buy some fancy wheels and the sportmaxes are then good sized drift spares.

in the end. fuck it. you like them? buy them. but atleast fit them right.

[Om1kron]

I have 3800 dollar wheels on my car, they got boring so I spent 800 dollars and made them new wheels.

make sense...

fuck fake wheels, buy nice ones if you get bored, change the color.

done, done.

[kalypso123]

or you can get a set of cheap 3 piece - wheels with shitty offsets... from rbmotoring.

and get a custom shell from kodiak motorsports.

I haven't gotten a quote from them.. ( no one answered the phone ) but I like the idea, and until proven otherwise its more cost effective then buying jdm 17x12's at full price.

Are Sport Max Wheels Worth It??
Only if you hate kittens...

save up, buy used wheels, pick a hobby you can afford
i dunno, your car
I don't have baller wheels, who am I to speak

[vodka2]

No ........ end.

[ThatGuy]

No, knock-offs are not worth it.

[TheRonTom31]

what wheel are 962's a knock off of?

I have always wondered cause i have always liked the basic design of the 962

[k0013]

fuck everyone who tells this kid to go find a hobby he can afford just because he jumping into the game where he can. Most of those who are telling him that are from cali anyway(need i say more). Do what you do bro. Buy the wheels roll on them until you get bored, get more money, or both, then buy something else. That's how its done. Jordan doesn't need J's to spank his opponents and you don't need $3800 dollar wheels to validate your spot int the scene. You come in, grow and progress like all the other maggots who are talking shit did.

[allntrlundrgrnd]

they are what they are.

i have rotas.

i cant afford wheels that cost as much/more than my car.

i dont care what people that i dont know on the internet say, i like how they look.

[joeyz31]

I have 02s, they roll and IMO they look slightly better than the stock 80s z wheels for the 2 years its going to take me to save up to get the wheels i actually want. The lips do look terrible after a year of dailying them but if they are just a hold over for the time being it shouldnt be an issue.

[irax]

if you can get them cheap and you know you won't win any car shows or fanboy love on the forums.. then yeah it might be worth it for you. ultimately it is up to you. do you like them? or do you value the swaying opinion of zilvians?

i own 962s and 002s and they are great..
fuck the wanna be ballers..

[Brian]

What is a "baller?"

[irax]

the original definition of Baller is some one who plays basketball. the popular use in common English(American) vernacular "Baller" means some one who spends a lot of money, that as if the only way African-Americans were able to make money is by playing a sport, other than selling drugs. So in reality Baller is a put down on hard working Black Americans or African-Americans.

[JDM_inspired]

its whatever YOU like, simple as that...

[ryguy]

What the hell difference does it make to the aftermarket industry if you buy new Sportmaxes or used "real wheels"? If that's the budget you are working with, the so called "real" wheel manufacturers wouldn't see a dime of that money even if Sportmax never existed. You arent hurting anybody by getting new sportmaxes instead of used Works, etc, if your budget would never allow for brand new, more expensive wheels.

[murda-c]

you're making the evil sportmax type companies stronger tho.

[s13dan]

i only got my sporty maxes becuase they were stupid cheap used. I dont have 1800$ for the wheels REALLY i want. I would rather have sporty max wheels then my stock saw blades...Aperently sport maxes are causing the downturn of society but they are cheap, strong and they dont look bad so fuck it. Get what you want.

[kalypso123]

get them... but do 16's or 17's by 9 preferably :)

and like K0013 said... save up and get something better later.

or dont... lots of people rock the 962's

Agreeded..I don't get all these rich Cali kids..If you don't drop 2 grand on some used works then ur not cool..But never mind the fact that there are like 2-3 cars in Formula D on sportmaxs..But they are the down fall of the industry...
I don't know about you I have a house to pay for.So sportmax rims are great..All u fools that think u need to empty ur bank account on a set of wheel are DuMASSis..:smash:imoa

[FaLKoN240]

Lol at sportmaxxes are strong. Haven't you seen the pic where the entire lip of the wheel is cracked off and broken?

All the people saying they are awesome make up poor excuses why they don't just buy quality used.

I would rather rock real JDM or hell, fuckin USED 15" meshies than rock those cheap POS.

Its too early for me to think what they're copies of, but whenever I see them I think they look like cheap POS.

Also anyone that thinks they're getting a cheap set of NEW wheels never heard if you get what you pay for.

For example I'm getting some r33 gt-r wheels used for about the price of NEW sportmaxx.

Oh yeah and if you think FD cars are up and running around for the love of the sport, you're trippin. FD is just a big advertisement for companies. Like redbull really gives a fuck what kind of coilovers you run, or how much speed, angle, and how close you can get to a clipping point. If you believe that you're :cj:ing it right there.

Actually the companies that sponsor cars do care how much speed, angle and how close you get to a clipping point. Companies want to back a winner and a skilled driver. they also want to back a good looking car that people will pay attention to. Its basic advertising, youplace all your ads in the best spot where they will get the most exposure.

That spot would be with a winner on a car people would drool over

[irax]

fuck the anti-hype! they are not rota's no one has busted them daily driving like sterns. yeah they are not light. but yeah they are cheap. they look alright and if you get them for the right price then why not? it's not like they are made out of card board and jb weld. get them because they are cheap not because they are cool. i mean if every applied what they say about those wheels to other things.. like what they eat, who they hang out with, how THEY act then no one would be hating on them.... but nah they are all just hypocrites.


fuck it, i said it, fuck you guys. spend your money on trendy wheels and go eat fucking of the dolla menu. let this guy have his sport maxxs so he can have his 5 dolla foot long. when my car is done.. if it ever gets done, ill fucking rock the shit out of sport maxxs for drifting and daily. and when i want my car to be supper legit i'll be getting custom wheels that everyone will drool over but never run on a track cuz 19' tires are fucking expensive... though not as expensive as the wheels i am looking at.



jesus fucking christ when did zilvia become supraclubs or rx7 club... your car isn't cool unless you spend more money than me...:jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::jerkit::squintd:

[FaLKoN240]

When I was talking about the angle YOU get, I meant specifically YOU. Not a sponsored FD driver.

I understand the basic sponsor/performance principle.

[pinkarrowsnow]

who cares some people cant afford volks or something like that. I bought my dumb sportmaxes to save money so I could build my 400hp ka-t. Not everyone is all about drifting with 130hp with the hottest wheels everr! Just get what you want and can afford thats my only advise.

This thread went exactly where I said it would.
