Has anyone seen the 522 sportmaxx??
 
I ran into them last week, and they dont look half bad. I think the racelands are getting me to become a ricer :giggle:

they're so gay.... why did they have to make them overshoot the lip like that? just keep them concave with a tiny lip... and make a more useful size

mekaw 04-17-2010 10:51 PM

well its all aimed for those old school style and automotive "fashionistas" and retards.

Hideous.

I don't even let my daughter play with the Hot Wheels that have wheels like that.

buffon01 04-18-2010 01:13 AM

hmm they looked good in the ebay shot :dunno:

NoMiEzMX-5 04-18-2010 01:36 AM

mekaw 04-18-2010 03:39 AM

i had a bowel movement a few minutes ago that looked better than those wheels even considering the blood-tinged water from my numerous ---- fissures. I don't know why anyone would waste their hard-earned american dollar on that ricer ****** shit.

if you like them get them.

buffon01 04-18-2010 07:01 PM

oh well i saw the pics on ebay, not on a car, not quite nice then. If the spokes came in instead of out they wouldnt look so bad.

I want 9" 6us, I just thought this looked good :facepalm:

turotufas 04-18-2010 11:16 PM

It looks like a blender. A riced out blender yo.

miatamania 04-18-2010 11:48 PM

Those might actually be cool in the right offset.

jacob300zx 04-19-2010 10:41 AM

I asked myself what Canibeat was so I had to check the website. Not my style but I did see a video of a hot female sliding her s14. SHWING!

I knew I couldnt be the only one :love:

Some newb just said in wanker's FC big brake idea thread that these are one of the few wheels that fit over those calipers. Might make them worth it.

TurboRoach 04-21-2010 01:14 PM

They look a lot better as an 18". I saw them on an STi. The kink at the lip isn't as sharp and doesn't stick out as much.

TOPSECRET 05-18-2010 11:06 AM

They look pretty tempting, just the wheel itself, considering how cheap they are...
BUT when mounted on a NA; the tables are turned, they look horrible.
Maybe it'll look better with a bigger size, on a bigger car..

18psi 05-18-2010 11:09 AM

its like they TRY to look like shit. With just a little bit less offset and the spokes not sticking out like a bad hemrhoid they would look GREAT. But then they'd be rota boosts and cost more:giggle:
