I hate to be that guy: but, I would not put the Sportmax wheels on your car.

It is not that they look bad, it is that they are rather heavy wheels that will negate some of the effects of your newly acquired 67mm DBB turbo. Being as committed to performance as you are, I would look for some wheels that are on the light side. Decent light wheels wouldn't cost you that much more.

yea i agree with blizzy....im not a big fan of sportmax wheels at all....you can get much better wheels for the same price.
