lol speaking of don't cry...

Bottom line... your wheels are cheap crap, you have huge spacers and the fitment looks dumb.

I am not saying stock fitment looks amazing, but at least I didn't spend close to a grand on looking trendy.

Try not getting so huffy when you ask for opinions and get them. Don't worry the import lifestyle kids still think your car looks tyte.

why is it the people who say stuff about "internet, serious business" are always the ones getting their panties in a twist 3 seconds later.

Congrats there pal, you won the Internets. I'll email a certificate later that you can print for your parents.

My car looks like like a 16 year old economy car...I hope your plan to impress kids works.I don't know where me having alignment of the gods came from, but sure.lol, you spend money for sportsmax.

Where did I get high and mighty in my original post, lol. I said like 3 words.

why does everyone have to hate on everyone? he got new wheels, geeze. not everyone has the same opinion. oh no, he diddnt spend 2k on rims alone. i just dont see why people cant just congradulate him or just not say anything. we're supposed to be a community. hate on honda's, not other nissans, lol.

i like the look. imo it looks better than stock se's. but like i said. everyones got their opinions.

I didn't make my car look like anything, I have never really done anything for it aesthetically

But sell it, naw... Its not worth **** and I have put at least a few grand into it. To replace it with another car as fun to drive would lose to much money.

That's why you're supposed to put wheels that impress the kids so when they get jobs later on you can sell your POS for double or triple your real asking price to them ! The new FnF is right around the corner too.

OP, how much did you pay for your whole setup? Sounds like you could have almost gotten some decent used volk, work, ssr, etc..

I got my ssr mf1s with Azenis's all around and lugs for $540 but I think I need some thin spacers. So maybe $600 - $625 total?

Did you even read the thread ? It was the OP's fault. He didn't secure his hood down properly so it flew up. Tied it down after it had already received trauma but the hood still broke. NOT the company's fault. User error.

Sounds like a BANGIN deal you got. You basically got SSR wheels free and paid for tires (if they are new). I got mine for 220 + 260 = 480 plus 140 + 160 = 300 for tires so I would say $800ish plus spacers ? But I would not be dealing with:

A. Curb rashB. Faded finishC. Bald tires

Plus, I dunno about you, but I like buying stuff new hence all my suspension parts (minus my RUCA's which are used SPL).

^ The wheels are friggin flawless and the tires have about 10-20K miles left on them depending on how I will drive. I think the dude needed the money cause that was an awesome deal imo. And they were on craigslist for over a month.

Damn, what a deal. Trust me, If I ever saw a set of bangin condition Volks or Works on NICO or Zilvia classifieds, I would choose them. People want >1000 usually for "big" sizes and that's with no tires. I mean come on, who WOULDN'T choose Volks over Sportmaxes if they were the same size and offset ? $600 for flawless, good size, good offset Work/Volk/SSR is once in a lifetime.

I think for the price, sportmax's aren't a bad set of wheels at all. There maybe lots of other 240 owners who rocks the same wheels too, but there's a reason for that. Not everyone needs a set of $4000 magnesium 6 piece wheels.

What's the point of buying wheels that cost more than the car to start with? Unless you have almost unlimited funds or it's a dedicated show/track/nice car, there's really no point.

uhhhhh I bought my car for 300 bucks, and I sure as hell wasn't going to keep the white spraypainted teardrops with overspray all over the tires on it haha. But in any other case I agree wheels shouldn't cost more than the car is worth.

OP...who cares if they are cheap wheels. They look good and you are making them fit, so screw the haters. I'm rocking Rota's, and it's the best investment I've made for my car appearance-wise.

I'll join the crazy stance with bad wheels group, but my alignment is good lol.
