17x7 exel
tires r 205/40/17 dunno how good the tires r for that price...and the rims r by Exel...thought they were tenzo's at first..dunno, Exels any good?

Hey, i have the Exel TZ-7 17".... I am very happy with them for the price I paid. And I got them cheaper then what they are now on wheelmax. They have free shipping right now, but their prices are jaced up to make up for the shipping. One thing i will say is that if u get them from wheelmax... ask them to not balance them and save your money. Cuz you will have to get them balanced again once you put them on. I dont know if they will do it, but try at least. The customer service there is really good, to me it was anyway. But back to the Exel wheels, i hit two potholes so far, big ones, and i was going pretty fast, no damage done to them. I dont know if that is good, but to me it is... here is them on my tib, not lowered yet, getting that done in a couple weeks once my eibachs come in

Yeah, I saw those too...they look pretty tight...u got any other pics of your car...they look pretty good on it...I think I'm goin to get the AEM CAI first then get the rims

Assassin, I'm sure 17's will look fine. 18's are nice because they tuck right under the fender but of course it's up to you. 17's will be cheaper and you could get an AEM CAI with the money you saved instead of getting 18's. 17 or 18 would probably be fine.
Who's car is that on the avatar? Got links to where I could see more pictures?

How come wheelmax is the only company that sells exel rims...is it their private label or something? Anybody know how heavy they are?

BigBoi · 12-11-2002, 11:38 AM

hey man.. i dont know why they are the only ones, not the "cool" name brand like Motegi and sh*t i guess.... anyway... if you are looking for light wheels, i dont think these are the ones for you... i think mine were pretty heavy, but im not sure.. if u call the 800 # they should tell you.. like i said, good customer service there..

Peace
