I'm thinking of getting some 4x113.4 17x7 +38 in front and 17x9 +35 in rear for my S14.

Are Sportmax's too used? I like the look and the price is good. Anyone know where they are made? China?

Also what tire size would I need?

Thanks

I think he meant something along the lines of, "Not only are they already played out, but it's like dropping half a grand on polished rolling turds."

We share that opinion...

Theyre relatively heavy.

No, they aren't relatively heavy... they are the heaviest.

Short of steel, only Sport max and Mustangs weigh 25+ a peice for 17x9.

At least FNs are like... 20lbs.

The weight doesnt really concern me too much, **** I have BBS 3 peice Super-RS rims right now but hit a curb several days ago. I could have the lip repaired since thats what was damaged but I think I'm out of luck. I cant find 1 rim like even if I wanted too. With the Sport Max I could give a crap if I damage one.

The wheels are definitely doo-doo status but its your car so if you want them and really like them go ahead and get them.

Tire sizes and prices vary so much its not even funny, you can spend anywhere from $200 to $800 for a set of tires

P.S. with that 2inch stagger in wheels you are more than likely going to have some understeer issues
