My wheels finally got back to Wheelmax and I'm thinking about going with these.

I like the way the have a concave center....makes the spokes look more aggressive.

Thoughts?

I think they look good I just dont like the fact that they are 18". You should get them.

I agree with Pretzellogic on this one...if you hit something crucial, including potholes..that s*** will bend and crack
 
they look a lot like the new stock wheels... why not just get some ones old 3, or rx8 (17 or 18) wheel? i am not sure but i would think the p5 has the same lug ptrn has the 3 and rx8...?? may not be as light but prob cheaper...

Not really, but I don't like any wheel where the spoke extends past the lip.

I'm just the opposite....I don't like wheels that don't extend to the lip. Makes a 17" rim look like a 16" rim. When the spokes extend all the way, it makes the wheel look bigger than it is IMO.
 
^^AGREE^^ I think there is something distinctly missing from a wheel with spokes that don't extend to the lip. As far as looking stock, I'm not sure that's a bad thing either. They'll def make a big difference in the overall look of your car because I think 17's are the PERFECT size for P5's.

Good luck, and don't forget to post pics when you get them on.
 
If it's not one thing it's certainly another........geesh.

Well, my wheels came today but I can't only put three on! (bang)

Apparently the other one is M.I.A. for some ungodly reason. I tracked it through UPS and it doesn't have any transit information.....just the info that states that they've received the billing information. Wheelmax is contacting UPS now and will get back to me asap. I'll just be glad when this fiasco is all over and done with.

Anyway, here's a couple pix of the wheels and one sitting next to the car so you can get a feel for what's it's gonna look like.

they look nice.....i really don't like how the spokes extend out past the tire a little, but they look sharp.
