sportmax wheels
 
Hey guys, I figured that I would put it on here, but I am looking for a pair of the sportmax 002's in the 15x8 size. If you guys know of anyone that is selling some, please let me know. Thanks, Steve

i think betrayed has a pair.i bought a set off ebay for 409, shipped from cali to ny.also was insured.
the wheels are sexy and pretty lite i believe 14 lbs.only problem know is im gonna have to roll my fenders and order tires.what color wheels do you want and what color is your car.i saved a bunch of pictures.

I want black wheels with the beautiful machined lip. The car is also black, so I think it will all look like real stealthy. I also plan to run 195/45/15, these tires are expensive when you run across them, but with this, I think that I can get away with minimal rolling on the fenders.

Those wheels are just so damn sexy. I think I will start looking toward ebay here soon, if nobody is selling.

Those things just have old school written on them, here in a few paychecks I am going to get them.

why run 45 and not 50,the tires are going to be stretched so i figure there woulnt be a real side wall.i posted on cl.net asking what size this 1 guy is running 45 or 50.

I just saw it and they were having a discussion about it on cr.net, this was a while ago though, but they said that it gives a little more room to allow just a real slight roll. When I get the time and the patience, I am going to roll and pull the fenders the right way and fit some 225's on at least the rear.

i've seen that phrase mentioned a lot on here and on cr.net. what is involved in properly "pulling" a fender?

boostinsteve 12-27-2006 05:17 PM

You have to get a fender roller, and a special heat gun, and you just take it real slow, haven't done it before, so this is going to be interesting.

Super looking wheels!
What offset and size are the ones on the white Miata pictured?

myfonti 01-05-2007 06:56 AM

my 240 friends grab poles and put them against the fender and between the wheels and slowly drive. its funny cause thats how the hardcore guys in japan do their fenders as well...

turbopezz 01-05-2007 02:39 PM

the wheels are 15x8 with 0 offset.
myfonti thats gangsta to hardcore for me thoe.ill try this on someone pos.you have any pictures of before and after and does it actually come out good.

richamby 01-22-2007 08:57 PM

Thanks, the look great! I'm thinking about getting some with a gold center.

I think tires look so weird when the are ballooned out on these "dish" wheels
