Sportmax 513 (Banana sports)

[RussianMafia000]

Those rims do look nice but personally I like the look of the sportmax better, but I don't know of anyone local that has a set so I can check them out in person..
These show a little bit more than the other photos but still not enough. What exactly is wrong with them in the flesh??




If th Rewinds came in a 8" than I would defaintly be interested but I doubt that is going to happen anytime soon.

Also I'm running ae86 ADM brakes and hilux drums in the rear so I don't think I'll have a clearance issue?

just search a few members rides threads. heaps of people running 15x8 superlights, i think the offset is -6 on those? biggos green car has them and he has both front and rear guards flared.

so a 0 offset is only 6mm less poke. i think youll be pushing it to fit them, depends how low your car is.. looks like you car is already painted.. didnt lip the guards before hand?

Car isn't overly low at the front but I'm planning on fixing that with either cutting the 8kg springs in there or getting some coilovers made up if I can afford it.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (riceburner @ Aug 19 2008, 12:30 PM) </div>for a reason tho

[RussianMafia000]

Yeh that is the same price I'm looking at them for. I realise they are a cheaper made wheel then the Konigs or Jap rims but they are a fair bit cheaper for that reason I'm guessing.
Can you tell me what it actually wrong with the finish on them? What problems they have etc. compared to a higher quality wheel?

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (-=GOODY=- @ Aug 19 2008, 12:52 PM) </div>the couple of sets ive seen the alloy in the lip looked like cheese, really grainy

they have 8 holes in them

are fake 2 piece

they look 'awkward' hard to explain

the rest of my argument against them is based on speculation, but from what i know, theyre made in a place youve never heard of while claiming to be American and the buy price on those wheels would be about 1/4 the cost of superlights etc. Huge mark ups on imported wheels...look at all the sydney and gold coast 'tyre stores'

each to their own
