I know this is a tire rack sponsered thread, but...
Has anybody had any dealings with Wheelmax.com? I have the SSR GT1's right now and I am ready to move on, but Wheelmax has what looks to be the same SSR GT1 design but they call it the Exel DL-46. Is there a huge difference in quality? There is definitely a price difference. Weight difference? I am considering the following wheels and I am looking for input in regards to price, quality of manufacturer, weight, look, and fit for my 05 MCS. A lot of these designs look like knock off's of konig, bbs, and other brands, I am just wondering how they compare.
Does anybody have any of these setups and like them or have any pictures?
Also, Alex does Tire Rack have anything comparable to these wheels in terms of design? Thanks!

Want something darker
I am moving on because I want a darker wheel. I have a dark silver and I am going for a different look, not necessarily the lightest or biggest name brand of a wheel. Also, if I can make a few bucks selling my SSR's I would love to make some other mods to the car with the extra cash. I will be posting the SSR's in the marketplace sometime in the end of August.

gunmetal, etc. they usually go about $450 for a set of 15's $550 for
16's and $650 for 17's delivered. :smile:

Are the Rota's forged or cast? I can't seem to find that information on their site. I'm assuming they are cast, due to the cost.

always consistent, so it's best that you find a local store that carries
Rota's and physically look at the wheels before you buy them. I, luckly,
have One6motorsports.com right by me so I just go there for those if I
ever need those wheels for track or even winter use.
