So I got my Z last week and thinking about getting a set of rims...
however, I don't wanna spend too much of money on the wheels
all I care about is the looks
so I asked one of my friend who modded his car for advise...
and he recommended me Sport Max and A.Z.A wheels
are these rims safe?
did anyone of u had problems on these rims?
or someone can give me some other brand that carrys good rims yet inexpensive....
please help me....

If you're on a budget you should look into enkei, fairly strong and lightweight. I think you can get a set for $1500 for wheels.

thanks for the input, but my budget would be 1500 with the tire
the Sport Max and the A.Z.A cost around 800 a set...
the price is really attractive...and the rims are beautiful too
I know I'm cheap...but tht's how much I wanna spend on the wheel...for the looks~

be careful though, you might not be satisfied quality wise. Cheap rims always look great online.

i hate to say this, but i have to say some enkei and OZ rims look alright (+ they are cheap). I'm not a big fan of cheap rims because they look cheaply made, or they don't last very long. Things start fading and peeling.

My best advice is for you to have some kind of wheel fund and save a couple dollars per day, and buy a nice set of rims+tires at the end of the year.

Well, my tattoo artist says "CHEAP tattoos aren't good and GOOD tattoos aren't cheap!"

So I'll tell you like this... CHEAP wheels aren't good and GOOD wheels aren't cheap.
