Anyone have 17" rims with offset of +40 to +42? I was thinking of getting these... but it only comes in +42. I just wanted to see pics of rims with these offset on a 240.

My friend had a bad experience ordering throught them. He ordered silver 17s and they sent him white 17s but the same rim. He was pissed and called wheelmax back and they said he would have to pay for shipping to send the rims back. He also had to pay to get the original rims shipped. He wasn't going to pay an extra 180 shipping on $700 rims on top of paying shipping for the wrong rims. Wheelmax wouldn't incure any of the cost even admiting they messed up the order or help him out and said it was his problem. Also he had a hard time with his credit card through wheelmax. He just stuck with the white rims. nick

My friend did buisness with them and he had no problem with them at all. Anyone know if a 17x7 with +42 offset will fit a S13 with no coilovers?

574-240sx i think it all depends on who you are buying from. there are two shops one in vegas and the othr is closer to the east. a frined of mine order his rims and he was sceptacle about it as well, but his came in on the exact time they said the would. so i don't know, he had a good experince with them

My friend ordered from the one in florida i believe. He got them in a couple of days. I believe they don't mess up that many orders. Its just that they messed up my friends order and it put him in a tight place. If i buy my next rims i would probally buy from them because of free shipping and their good deals. nick

I was thinking about getting a set of 5Zigen from them.. How are they as far as quality?

They also have a +43 offset.. I too would like to see a picture.. as it is illegal (and in bad taste IMO) for tires to go beyond a wheelwell here..

I wouldnt recommend getting those offsets. You will probably regret it. I got some 17x7 +40 and I dont like how they sit inside the wheel well so much.
