There's the root of the problem. 99.9% crap in that magazine. Inside the Makaveli Wheel boardroom: "Hey, let's give our wheels a timeless name. Let's see here, umm, I think Tupac will be popular forever, let's name our wheel company after him!" "What about the real Machiavelli spelling?" "Nahhh, let's spell it the way Pac did too!" Idiots.

 

i could really care less what they want to call their product line.. it's totally irrelevant-if they want to call themselves "chick*****" they are more than welcome to,as long as thier product is on point, i'm interested... i would change the center cap to lexus logo anyway..jmo!

 

Agreed. Not like all JDM wheel names are that great either, but I have my doubts about these companies being around for any extended period of time. Say you purchase a set, and not long after the company goes belly up. If you are unfortunate enough to damage a wheel, you may not be able to get a replacement. Even if you don't damage any and want to sell them later, not many people will have heard of that particular brand. Resale values for some of these no-name wheels stink.

I'm just ripping on that sorry name, but there are plenty of practical reasons why I wouldn't purchase those.

 

that is very true...

 

I noticed in the gallery that on the bottom of the pictures it has the wheel sizes and the wheels w/ the 5 " lip were 20X11 will 20X11 fit on the rear or the GS? I havent heard of anyone have a 20X11 rear rim here on CL.

 

i just called them. for staggered setup 19^8.5 (front) 2" lip 19^10 (rear)3"lip (chrome finish)for sc 400
$3500 w/o tires!..........ouch!

 

Gents-

I am gonna attempt to visit this company later today with Digi cam in tow. I am not a wheel expert by any stretch, but will report my findings and post actual pics after visit. I let cha know-
