I have these wheels but in 19s. they are heavy but not that bad. I like the way they look though.





I need a 10mm spacer for the rear I think to make it flush

I got those... They're heavy but I don't track my car. They look good and my car gets alot of attention. Couple days ago I transferred these to my SC4 from my Z32. Highly recommended if you're not into tracking your car. I will post pics probably tonight.

You people and your wheel snobiness is retarded. If he is going to track his car the sportmax/xxr wheels are perfect for that. I have had my 962s for 2 years. Yeah they are heavy but i had put a pretty hard beating to them: potholes, dirt drops, curbs, getiing off the track on a flat tire and they still have no bends, dents and balance out perfectly. For a $500 set of wheels I don't think you can do better. I actually got my set for $200. I have never seen pictures of a mangled 962 like i have seen with every rota out there as well as witnessed first hand a set of MB battle breaking 5 spokes at the track.

These wheels aren't going to devalue your car.

They are not going to endanger your life.

You're not going to have to live at home with your parents so you can afford to pay for them.

They will look better than stock.

They may look ugly to some but looks beautiful to me. These look awesome in motion too. I've used them on my Z for almost a yr and took a quiet bit of beating but still perfect. I haven't noticed much difference in acceleration but TT engine will take care of that. With tires I spent $1000 when new. I just can't see myself spending $3000 for a set of wheels.

i have XXR(sport max) 962s on mine in 19s staggerd. they came with the car. i didnt choose the wheels, but it doesnt look bad. way better then stock wheels thats for sure. to me its the bang for the buck. in the near future i will be getting some work or volk wheels but i will have to save up for those. its all personal preference, some people will hate, some people will like! doesnt matter what wheel u go for. there will always be haters

Thanks for the input everyone,

I think I'll see about the XXRs.. I might get the VOLK Racing SF-Winnings if the buyer hasn't sold them already.

F: 19x8.5 235/35/19 +25 offset
R: 19x9.5 275/30/19 +29 offset

What you guys think?
