www.superbuytires.com and check www.value-caraudio.com. Mike aka Value TL runs the second website, he's got some pimp ass wheels on there.

...just my advice

Have you decided on the size yet? Staying with 17" (perhaps keeping the tires they came with) or going up to 18" or 19"? Do you want a "riced" look? Classy, sporty... or subtle look? Chrome, polished, or painted? Price/bedget range-which would lead to wheels that are "knock offs" or originals...

I'm NOT being a smarta$$, but these are just some things you should consider before making your final decision...

Go through the "Gallery" page and look at pics to get more ideas.

Apparently the search function of superbuytires.com isn't good, I did a search for wheels that fit our car and it shows wheels that doesn't fit (i.e Ken's Lsportsline).

Anyone experience buying rims/tires from WheelMax? They seem to have a large selections of rims at a reasonable price, but what's up with the phone order instead of online ordering?

I wouldn't recommend anybody order wheels from wheelmax, they are really bad. Customer service is horrible. The prices may seem good, but for the hassle they will put you through to get your wheels it's just not worth it. Maybe others have had a better experience with them than I have, but I don't recommend it. Check out the bbb.org website, you'll see what I mean. Let's put it this way, they don't have a satisfactory rating, so that implys that other have had problems as well..

however wheel max is based out of miami with a bunch of smaller store down here too (wheel and tire outlet and world of wheels for example) so being from here it wouldnt think it would be that bad...

Question

www.superbuytires.com and check www.value-caraudio.com. Mike aka Value TL runs the second website, he's got some pimp ass wheels on there.
What do you guys think of the Driv Mach 5 rims on a 2002 TL-S in 18's or 20's from the superbuytires.com?... I wonder if anyone has these yet.
http://www.superbuytires.com/wheels_...v&model=Mach+5

Will the 18x8.5 or 20x8.5 rub without being lowered?

They are sweet. Definitely a different 5 spoke look. I never heard of "Sporza" neither. They are a lot cheaper than the Mach 5 for 18's.

Yeah I was even thinking of buying his car. I think I just hold on to my car for a little longer and save up for the M3. Anthony told me that your friends S4 has a lot of work done to it. I ordered some new wheels for my ride. I ordered some 19" Sportlines.

small world, yea he does have some work done to his car, he baby's the car, he's had so many car since i've known him....

M3, nice choice, they have the new SMG tranny out for new M3, but isn't it like the tiptronic, or is it faster?

good luck with your new rims...

I live in Ft Lauderdale and I drove down there to pick up the rims, so It wasn't too bad. But before I drove down there, they said they had a certain rim in stock, and When I got down there they said they didn't carry the rim, I was like "WTF?!", So i agree that they have really crappy customer Service.
