My TL on cheap sportmax rims!!!!

Front: 18x8.5 +35 225/40/18
Back: 18x9.5 +35 225/40/18
Rolled the back fenders.

I'm a sucker for gold rims.

That looks great. Nicest 2.5 I've seen so far. I like the slight stretch in the rear.

You really need some inspire tail lights. Buy mine...lol

Looks good! The rims don't look cheap, but knowing they're Sport Max wheels doesn't help.

This looks great. Cheap or not. Bling bling would have been 20in chrome bro. You'd never find the bling bling crowd with gold rims with polished lip. Great JDM look bro. Keep up the good work!!!

Looks better then I thought by just going by the thread title. Rear looks ok but the front needs more work. But knowing that its knockoffs kills it for me.

A few things:

- Images need to be scaled way down. 800x600 is more than enough, 4000x3000 is just crazy.
- Get a 3.2 bumper.
- Keep the amber all around, but get the black chrome headlights.
- Low down some more.

As J and Prince said, knowing they're SportMax/XXRs kills it, but they look pretty good!

~Cheers~

He probably won't answer you since he hasn't been active here in over 2 1/2 years. Google 'Sportmax Wheels'. It should come up with a lot of sources. You like those wheels? They aren't really to my taste. He must not have really cared much for them either considering the title of his thread...........
