Sportmax 006

[srpowered240sx]

sketchy-staggered means the wheel is wider in the front than the back. usually means the lip is bigger out back.

[Jookmasta]

get the spacer issue sorted out and i think it will look alright.

[Dave_Dynamite]

i like them but i'm with srpowered in the way they stick out too much in the front and not enough on the back. to each his own though. its your car not ours.

d!ck, Yokota just likes making a scene. And triplesixrivals240, you haven't been here long enough to have an opinion on it.

Whether he lives in Japan or not and has or has not to deal with "knock off" wheels doesn't matter. You're a douche and should just stick to being one over at Z ilvia. No one wants your garbage in their thread.

By the way, I do like the 006, always have. They look great on the car, except yes, the fronts do stick out too much.I'd also change the color (Of the rims OR car). Black on Black and White on White looks nice, but not so much in between.

[hpmachine]

I think the situation with the wheel tire setup on the scion box is a little bit of tire stretch. (the wheel is substantially wider than the tire) that's not stagger though. 'Staggered' means you have 2 different sizes of wheels on you car. Most commonly wider on the back, narrower on the front.

Uh dude he has two (2) spacers. The front wheels won't fit without them, thus he must put the spacers on the front, leaving none for the rear, as was already stated in this thread. It isn't the wheels that cause that, it is in fact the spacers.

I thought srpowered was being sarcastic when he said they poke out too much, apparently not. My bad, I won't give you the benefit of the doubt anymore.

i think your a sore bastard with no taste in wheelsKnockoff wheels suck, in generalbut, in some cases its not bad, like when Work knocks of SSR, or stuff along those lines

[lucky7]

Sorry they're affordable?

affordable is a relative term. you can buy a nice set of wheels on a budget. i paid less than half of what my VS-XX's retail for. you just have to keep an eye out for deals. im in $1300 for my wheels, and brand new potenza re070's. yes, the wheels AND tires were purchased 'used'. but you really wouldnt notice it. maybe they dont fit as well as they could, but the nice thing about buying NICE wheels? i can probably sell them for more than i paid for them. even if i told people what i paid for them.

you can buy all the sportmax wheels you like, but there are much better options out there for close to the same price. you just have to search and keep an eye out for them.

[240Kid4]

Again once when I get the spacer situation figured out it will look better im just not ready to get some exspensive wheels right now becuase i just dont have a secure enough place for it and im affraid someone is going to snatch them up and for 4 17x9" rims for just $490 im going to take it. These wheels dont suck and they only weigh about 22lbs and thats really not that bad.

[KC240SR]

Thanks for all you opinions guys, so if I get them, no matter what they will stick out a bit in the front? Couldn't i just get more spacers or something? sorry if thats a noob question.

[240Kid4]

No u should be fine you just have the stock brakes right you might need a 5-10mm spacer other then that they shouldnt stick out I just used a 25mm spacer to clear my z brakes. o yea if you have stock suspension the 17x9 will not fit in the front. but if u do then you should be fine.

[KC240SR]

ok, thanks

id rahter use the GTST wheels you have on your car than sportmax

Haha.The lack of sense of humor really kills me...

and if you knew the discussion d!ck, Yokota, and I had over on the wheels forum, you might know where I coming from.

Think about that next time before you bash at my forum life.

id rahter use the GTST wheels you have on your car than sportmax

**** happens.Sportmax are legit as I'm going for the price, I have bigger things in mind before I dish out and drop a grand or more on a set of wheels that rep a legit name.

I could buy numerous brands of set of 17's in my area, but I would still need tires. Something I really don't feel like ****ing myself over on.

[DuaneG]

Oh no, my taste in wheels is fine. Probably just as exquisite as yours, JDM Guru. I however, also respect people who are money savvy and am not a d!ck.My choice in wheels were Work Equips, Work VS-XX in Gold or perhaps a Blitz Techno. I, however, wouldn't mind using Sportsmax 006 and painting them gold if I were short on cash for my primary choice.

Triple, I wasn't meaning to bash you, sorry if it came off as such.I just have a great dislike for Yokoto. He just acts like an ϋber-douche all the time.

It's all good...I knew what I was getting myself into by saying what I said and being here for just under a week.

And I get what you're saying, and I think a few of us have noticed it.

and that's why 240 guys always get the wrap of being cheap asses

[triplesixrivals240]

These forums really make me understand how hard it was to deal with how I was 3 months ago.

Haters, haters, haters.

Oh, and bigots.

Yea im going to get 2000+ rims for my dd. Sure... Get what you want don't let any1 tell you different. Sportmaxes are great for the price. IF your looking for a light track rim then duh its not for you.

[DuaneG]

Quote »Yea im going to get 2000+ rims for my dd. [/quote]Agreed.

Chad Copeland, co owner of Drift411 and ex President of SEDA is rocking Sportsmaxs on his track car. Nothing wrong with Sportsmax, even for a track rim.

[yokota180sx]

too bad most the rims you saw on my car, i sell for 1400 bucks, cheaper if your not a retard......so yeah

Let us not forget the gold standard by which we all judge our cars..... Yokota's opinion!

And as for calling people who own 240's cheap... maybe we're just poor, leaving us no choice?

Who invited this guy back anyways? s***.

adn poor? then dont mod your car dumbass

+5. I liked the way those rims looked on your car much better. There are much better ways to spend money than on your car if you are so broke. I don't know, I have always had the mentality that if I am going to do something to my car, I am going to do it right the first time. If I can't afford to, then I may as well not do it and drive stock. Nothing wrong with that.

Woah, pile of herpes said $hit and it wasn't edited. You are magic

[sil80drifter]

sorry gotta do this, +6 on cost effective wheels that look good. It's not like they are outrageously heavy. I mean compare the 18x8.5 006's to same size BBS CH's, RX II's, RWII's, or even SSR GT10's (forged!!)... What do you get?

006 - 25.6 lbs

CH - 24.5 lbsRX II - 26.3 lbsRW II - 25.3 lbs

GT10 - 24.3 lbs, this one is a forged wheel, which either says something bad about SSR's attempt, or something good about BBS CH (or neither).

Those are the "reputable" brands weights. I think that kind of kills the weight argument. Being within 0.5-2lbs over (and sometimes under!) those weights completely justifies the 006's price to me. The 17s btw, are very similary comparatively weighed. Go check yourself - http://www.wheelweights.net/ .

To me, the little extra weight matters little, as I'm not going for the 0.1sec in autoX, and the looks combined with the price are just right. Again that's to me, and to me only. If someone doesn't like that combo, nobody is forcing them to put it on their car. It's my car, and it's that guy's car who put his on. If either one of us came here and said "we think this wheel is the best for track racing/autoX" you could more easily argue "what a dumbass, there ARE 15lbs 18x8.5's made for racing" (Those would be Centerline RPM forged wheels, and damn expensive at $1,500 per wheel). Although I don't see anyone here with 15lbs 18s yet.

But when you talk about looks... well, if anyone remembered what an opinion was, it'd be great. i like this damn forum, because everyone is entitled to opinions. I just bought the 006's in the staggered 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 version, red/black for a red s13. I think it'll look amazing, and I've researched how they will fit (spacers will be necessary, but nothing to sneeze at).

But the way things are, jeez, guys, let the ppl enjoy themselves and buy whatever wheels they like. I am definitely in the same boat of spending more money on say tires and brakes and coilovers, which are all things important to how the car handles (of course you can rice those too, if you really have no clue), and engine stuff (where I also went for MSII vs AEM, etc) which makes the car go, than worrying about what someone considers cheap wheels, even if I personally like the way they look and fit.

Lol Sketchy, what you don't like is the "stretched" look, probably combined with the fact that the wheels stick out a bit of the Toyota Box (xB). I actually happen to love the stretched look, and when you get to the track side of things, and have to handle the car, you'll see just how much more control you have with a tire that's stretched (predictable, smooth break away) vs a tire that's bulging over (snappy breakaway = total, hard to manage). On that Scion they are probably not there due to the need to handle (unless show rooms require masterful driving techniques), but hey... again a matter of preference, and mine is no better than yours, just different.

[yokota180sx]

i sitll say weight is bull****I drifted on VIP style wheels and had no adverse happenings over sayy....my XD9s, or similar type wheels

they weigh like 32lbs a piece in 18s.....make more power to the wheels to turn em, and learn if it needs adjusting toowheel weight is for racecars...and 240s arent racecars

[1sikS13]

i have no such problem but i run staggered 17x8 front 17x9 rear and they fit with no spacers

[hpmachine]

Yo man I really like the stance of your car! Can you give me a breakdown on your specs. Did you have to do a roll or pull on your fenders at all? What are your offsets? What suspension and brakes are you running? I would love some more info!

[sil80drifter]

i gotta say this, ur signature leads me on every time i see you post. everytime i think "oh who is this chick who has a 240 and an Evo8?" and then I'm like oh damit it's a dood. stop playing with my head!
