I'm not one to go out and buy rims, but I would definately buy the first one. They look very sharp!

I was gonna get the 1st ones, but they had a 5 week hold on gunmetal, so I moved on...


They both look nice, but you should get what YOU like and not be influenced on other ppl's decesions...

They're both cool, I'd probably get the 2nd ones if I were buying them though.

The first ones look good in a picture, but I have seen them on quite a few cars in pics/person and they are just blahhh.

Second one's are something no one has and you can't go wrong with a solid 5-spoke wheel.

Both should look great. I can't imagine what dealing with the brake dust on the first would be like though. Just with how open the GAGT stocks are is a pain, so the first thing I thought when I saw the Exel ones was "brake dust cleaning every 2 days"!

I would honestly say do NOT purchase wheels from wheelmax. I was going to purchase 17X7 wheels for my ga. Well I saw the specials section and got excited. 799 for rims and tires and free shipping. Wheels come mounted and balanced! AWESOME! So I call them to place my order and in since my dad wanted to put it on his credit car if there were any problems he could take care of it. Well he said will you email me an invoice of what I purchased so I have some degree of knowing what I'm buying. He says no... Ok no biggy... What's the total? 978 bucks very close to 1000. It wasnt 978 exact, think it was actually 987. I'm like no 799. Ohh no you have to add on the price for the bigger tires you want... The ones that are priced are 205's... WHERE DOES IT SAY THAT?!?! Well check this http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/exel.htm between 850 and 899 guys... Good luck.

I'm still not seeing your point here, and why they suck :confused: Maybe if you read more carefully you wouldn't have looked clueless when calling to order.

after browsing around their site, it seems like thay have some good deals, as long as you know that the advertized price might be for a certain size tire and not neccessarily the one you want.

It is just like when Pep Boys has thier 4 tires for $100 sale....anyone ever bought 4 new GAGT tires for $100??:rolleyes:
