Me and my new rims.

The offset on those is 45. My experience with Wheelmax was okay except they sent me a deffective tire which will not balance. The people I had try to balance them said one was out of round. Apparently the steel belts on the inside are deffective somehow causing a small lump on the tread of the tire which won't let the tire balance out. Wheelmax said I could box it up, ship it back to them and they would take it from there. I can't go with just three rims and a stock rim so I purchased a road hazzard warranty from a tire place here. Now I just hope they will cover it under that warranty. Otherwise I can get a new tire for $71.00. That's the problem I encountered with Wheelmax. The wheels arrived buisness days after I ordered them and they came on two diff UPS trucks.

Hahaha! I didn't even notice it until you said something, but I believe that is the sign for the Marina located at that building. The weather outhere has been about 45 degrees and rainy. It dried up long enough for me to wash my car and take a pic.

They came with Nankang NS-1's. When they wear out I will probably put some Falken's on, but I'll make that decision when it gets here. I hear the Nankangs wear quickly.
 
Did you get any other pics of your car with out you standing in front of it.

I want a pic for my desktop and I dont want friends to wonder why I have a pic of some dude on my desktop.

I love the wheels. I am getting the Exel Radius wheels in the spring. How much did they charge you for lugnuts?

I'll try this pic but it's blurry also. The lugs I had to buy from Discount Tire because these rims need tuner lugs and they sent regular lugs with the rims. I believe the lug size it 1.5. Oh and they were about 50 bucks.
 
What is a tuner lug?

I have a fear of ordering from wheelmax because they always seem to screw you over somehow.
 
I did too, I think if I ordered from them again, I would probably only order rims alone. A tuner lug is a lug that fits in a smaller area. With my rims and normal lugs, my tire tool wouldn't grip the normal lug when I tried to put the rims on my car. They come with a sort of key that gets into the hard to reach places.
