Does anyone know about Wheelmax.com or Exel Wheels?

Does anyone have any experience with www.WheelMax.com?

How about the quality of Exel rims? The price for 18x7.5 with tires is only $1199 on Wheelmax.com.

Is this going to be a really low quality buy? Should I go ahead and pay almost double for SSR versions of the rim?

Exel DL-46

Thanks for all of your help guys and gals!

A very lost Longhorn,

Burt

Virtually NO customer service.

IMO, save your money for the SSR Rims....GT1's or even the GT3's if u have a little money put away. You might be happy with the knock-off's in the beginning but the quality of the SSR's is non-comparable.

Thanks for all of your input guys. I think I will just save up for some time and get the SSR's. The "3" was a typo. Does anyone know where I can get the SSR GT1's or GT3's at a good price? The only place I know so far is Tirerack.com. I hope that their service has a good reputation and such.

Thanks again,

Burt

Has anyone bought from Wheelmax within the last three months?

I've read the other threads about their lousy customer service but that seemed like it was quite some time ago.

Just wondering if there customer service has improved.

I'm also interested in some of their Excel rims but they do seem rather inexpensive.

Thanks for any info.
