I like the smooth, clean look and they'll be easy to maintain (few places to trap dirt and brake dust). Any idea what they weigh? I didn't see any details on Discount Tire Direct's site.

Those are pretty nice but if you like the 5-spoke style these are also worth considering...

www.rsswheels.com You can get them for $110 each from http://www.thewheelconnection.com/.

I like this style wheels I just wish I had the money.

These are $99.00 and each and free shipping then with the Hankook Radial K106 Tire it is only $760.00 and it comes with lugs and Stems and Hub Centric rings if needed, and that $760.00 is with the 1 year Road hazard coverage.

I would avoid buying from Wheelmax but that's only because of what they said to me after I asked them some questions, "This is not an information service pal!" They also always say that you won't need hubcentric rings even when you do. The wheels I got from them were balanced horribly until I took them to Discount Tire for a re-balance.

I could go on, but consider yourself warned. ;)

[Bnystrom]

...19 pounds in size 16x7. You can figure another pound for the 17's. That makes them heavier than the stock 15" wheels. Bummer! :(

[hyunelan2]

To comment on wheelmax. The product is not bad... it's the people working from them that are a bunch of monkeys. Their phone-people are not very people-oriented, and the people that mount and balance tires almost made it to 3rd grade. (They tore the bead on one of my tires when they mounted it).

And you ALWAYS - no matter what ANYONE says - should get hubcentric rings.

You probably won't beat the price of things at wheelmax very often, just be prepared for some minor headache.
