Question (ANOTHER) WHeel suggestion Thread. =P

Due to my Stupid'ess... I have two curb damage on my right front rims and one on the right rear rims.
And it feels bad to look at it.

Fix it? Don't think so, because my rims are cheap. Rims + Falken Tires = $980.

Therefore, i m just going to look for another new rims and have my old tires on it.

Right now, i have my eyes on SPORTMAX wheels. (Because they are cheap for me.)
I can only afford rims that cost like.. $400ish...- about $500ish range / set.

Right now it's ....



1) deleted.. decided not to go for this~~

2) Sportmax XXR 502-GOLD (A little over the price that i set for myself) dun have to be in GOLD.. there's other colors too!


3) Sportmax XXR 507-WHITE (A little over price too) They have other colors too.
< http://www.xxrwheels.com/sportmax_507.shtml >


Right now, since i look at sportmax only.. these will be the only three for now.

Any other ideas?? around the price range?

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!

Neither. I'd really settle for a set of Rotas instead of Sportmax.

keep them on and drive with them for a while to improve your driving skills and to learn to gauge curbs and dodge potholes. no point in curbing another set of rims.

Keep your existing wheels. They look good. I'm sure you notice the curbing more than anyone else would. I'm the same with my Advans. Curbing is a fact of life and if you get new wheels you'll eventually curb them too. Just my two cents...

If I had to pick, I would say three, but I honestly kind of like the wheels you have right now.

If you wanted to stay cheap...I'd go with the Rota's too. They are a little more than your budget. $700-$800 for a set of four. Here are some 18's.

You got a polish lip that is an easy fix if you know what you are doing. I have been fixing curb 3 pcs wheels on the lip and looks like there was nothing there. post some pics let me see I can fix it for you for a small fee that is you willing to ship your wheels to me to fix it but still cheaper than getting a new set of wheels.

@@ i think i m good with my driving skills.....
I had the those curbing because 1)it was at night, talking to my gf while parking. 2) Drive-thru at In & Out, Tried to go near to them(the stand) -- i m at the side where i have to grab the food from the passenger side. And didnt realised that there's a curb there.

I m okay with the wheels i have right now too. I wanted to just buy the original wheels. but i can't find the shop that sold them to me. They closed down already. ==

Thanks tho..
But I m still looking for local shops. and i will only get wheels from local shops. I dunno, i prefer to drive than to spend that extra hundreds of shipping @@ And also, i can look at them in front of me be4 i buy them. i decided to look at sportmax wheels because there's a shop about 30 miles away from me.

I m actually thinking about the white wheels that i posted.
The sportmax 507 that i posted as #3. . . the color stripes are interchangeable. Thinking of buying white .. and then when i want a different color, BLUE RED GOLD CHROME, it will only cost me $100/set to get them.
