Can we change the thread title to warn people about the Sportmax content of this thread?

I'm not trying to be elitist or anything, but once you've seen one Sportmax (or Rota, or FNO1RC) you've pretty much seen them all.

With the exception of maybe two wheels, this thread has made me thankful I went 5-lug, because it seems like all I'm seeing are knock-offs, and as you can imagine, as a wheel designer, I don't think highly of knock-offs.

Those Axis Widetracks actually look pretty nice, and Axis is definitely higher quality than all that knockoff bullshit. You're the first one Ive seen rocking them on an S chassis. They definitely arent Australian though lol.

Quoted for truth... Even if you have spacers to push out your 17x9 Sportmaxes to +0, they are still the same cheap ass junk they were when they were +35.

Always was a fan of grenades on my old s13. 17X9 +14 in front 17X9 +0 in rear

MrFairlady · 11-13-2007, 03:48 PM

89singlecamnoob · 11-13-2007, 10:10 PM

grr, this thread makes me mad 'cause my wheels are suck! (came with the car...kinda make starion wheels look good :/)

pic's of my fail; i think i need lower-profile tires and definitely different wheels. any ideas?

EJ253 · 11-13-2007, 11:17 PM

if your wheel suck than why did you post them?
thatd be like posting a 255 on a 9j in the stretch thread.

get some 9x114.3 VIP style wheels and call it a day

olah.inc · 11-14-2007, 11:05 AM

is this phatty enough 4 u? 18x7,5 wit 25mm spacers all around (expensive euro style ^^ )

240sx_sr20det · 11-14-2007, 11:37 AM

If you guys want to run heavy small diameter wheels with spacers, just find some Universal 4-luggers. They make a shit ton of wheels for Hondas with dual 4 lug pattern. Just stop rockin low quality wheels that are supposed to fool people into thinking you actually care about the quality of your rolling stock.

Knock-Offs are bullshit. Why not just buy a Ford Probe and put 180sx badges on it!

well what you should have said if your gonna run 4 lug run a set of work's because anyone who know's work wheels knows that they come in any lug pattern any offset you want turst me the Vxx's looks so mint on a 4 lug s14 lol

then again ppl do change to 5 lug for a reason

looks great, but I think you should go back to the popups and then give me your bumper as payment for my excellent advice.

Jesus Christ, this isnt the "Post pictures of your disgustingly ugly ass wheels on a 4x4 240 thread."

It's the PHATTY 4 lug thread. Your wheels are worse than rolling on Sportmax or Rotas, and we've already done made fun of those enough in this thread.

You even know that your wheels suck, yet you still posted them for some reason in this thread.

You fail at reading, and you fail at life.

90 DGRZ · 11-14-2007, 03:48 PM

nothin crazy, supposedly 1 of 3 sets of it's kind...? or so i was told.

I actually have thought about that B.I.O.N....I want to just throw a Kouki bumper on there and the pop-ups back on.The Silvia convo was a Quick decision.
If the car wasn't just painted I would...and may still.Just gotta match the color back up is my main concern.

TheSquidd · 11-14-2007, 04:19 PM

Funniest fucking thread on Zilvia.

This thread should be called Zilvia's Hall of Fame.

There's a few nice wheels here but the rest, oh my GOD.

2JZGTE · 11-14-2007, 05:58 PM

4lug thread, niice. Nice grenades vvti.

Had M2 Hanbai 17x8.5 +25, 17x9.5 +30 or whatever it was when we did the GB. Friend has em now and they're still sick looking.

My work s1 2-piece in 17x9 +5, 17x10 +10 ~ sold now though, I did go 5lug

Loved these though, looked sick on stock F/R fenders.

Subzeroqc · 11-14-2007, 06:23 PM

Bushido · 11-14-2007, 08:08 PM

fbiphil · 11-14-2007, 09:15 PM

This is a pic of my car before coilovers, and I still haven't pulled fenders to make 'em flush, but I LOVE my wheels!
Hayashi Racing 15x8- not sure of offset, but they'll be nice and flush once I get it down on them properly!

PS- If anyone has any information as far as the model name, and especially where to get some dang center caps, pass it on!!
