Exel wheels are on sale at Wheelmax (exelwheels.com, then click on wheelmax.com link at bottom left) - most 17"x7" are $99 apiece with free shipping until Dec 15. I have no affiliation, just wanted to let you all know what's up.

Anyone here have Exels, and if so, how are they in terms of weight and rigidity? Their wheel/tire packages are so damn cheap I almost can't say no! TIA...

 

does wheelmax state wheeloff set at their site? the last time i checked
they didn't. make sure you get 43-48mm offset.

 

Honestly... I think they are a little heavy. Friend has on his Civic Si and they are really heavy. I would save a little bit more and explore other options.

Ditto above from my experience. Wheelmax is a half-assed operation compared to Tire Rack.

Shouldn't take it that far until Wheelmax becomes a sponsor.

what if it's a 42mm offset??

 

offset is the distance from the center of the wheel (if you're looking at the tire tread) to the surface of the wheel that mounts to the rotor. if the offset isn't correct for the car, you end up with wheels that stick out too far and rub the fender wells, or are too close to the center of the car and rub shocks/suspension/whatever..

so 43-48 wont rub anything
