They look good. I like the V spokes but only when they are an uneven number. I don't like the symmetrical look that an even number of spokes causes.

The style is ok. The size is a definite NO. I'm sure the quality is equal to the price listed. I would say just save your hard earned cash and buy some used wheels with a decent size/offset made by a quality manufacturer, ie. Rays, Work, SSR, Weds, or Advan.

17 is cool but 7 isnt a good width. go for 8 or 9 and a lower offset. it will look better.

FACTS ABOUT RIMS:

MY BUDDY GOT WORK EMOTIONS XD9'S AND he spent a good $1500 on them. With tires....$1800. 18x9 rears 18x8 fronts.

I purchased my Sportmax 962 at the local dealer for $900 with Falken Azenis (18x9.5 rear and 18x7 front)

As far as for cheap rims, don't buy them. I've bent my Sportmax driving on the same corse as my buddy with the Work rims.

It appears that Sportmax is China (cast) and Work rims are really good FORGED. (I knew this before the fact, but I said "MAN! $900 with tires is a deal!...)

And Now I am driving with Blackies on because cast Sportmax sucks. All these new, Drag--SPortmax---ADR--Spun--- SUCK.

I suggest, using $600-700 bucks and GET JDM oldschool WORKS, WEDS, Volk, ENKEI, SSR, IMPUL, STERN, PANASPORT RIMS.

Very nice design, but I have to say I voted no based on size. See about different sizes.

EDIT: Tirerack has a pretty good deal on ASA's and they have different sizes.

They are not sportmaxes, Flik is alright. But whats the offset on these? I think they are pretty high, so if you like the tucked look, go for it.

Not bad, but I believe they wouldn't look good on a 240. Its too close to mesh for me anyway...
