those mesh 18's are nice!

I should wrap some Yoks on my R90's and get some offset
spacer/bolts and dress her up again.... hummmmmmmmm...!!! too bad
R90's are like boat anchors although they look great. Offset is 48mm,
want to push them out 5mm.

I like those M caps!

like those chrome wheels but just too over priced.

it is a fashion factor to be over priced i guess.

I dont want chrome it is cause of the reflection could be very easy for the police to pick it up with their laser(yeah yeah, very good excuse, better than no money!)

Thanks for the info "kenchan". I called Wheelmax and they said they no longer sell Sportmax wheels. Does anyone on this forum know of any website that still sells these wheels? I want them...bad.

Can't find any weight figures, but I'm guessing they are pretty light. Could be what the S-lite should have been.

How have you managed to keep the bearing dust cap from becoming corroded? My '04 MCS caps are very rusted after only a year -- and I'm down in TX - no snow, salt, etc.....

The wheels look great btw

I'm looking for wheels with beefier looking spokes but are light weight, here's what I've come up with so far:

Any more suggestions??
Thanks
Mikey

that's a good color too. Mine is painted matt-black using engine enamel
paint I had. :smile:

Painting itself was easy, getting all the rust off was kinda time
consuming for me.
