WheelMax is great but worked me over!!!!!

I just received my rims today and when I got home at 11 pm I opened the boxes. Wheels and tires are pimp. BUT, when I opened the wheel lug box, to my horror, they were the female ends. I am sooo pissed. I need to find a 24 hour auto parts store or something or I am forced to go to discount in the morning and see if they carry what I need. AAAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Me, I've always preferred female ends myself. But that's just me.

Hey man, did you get a set of hubcentric rings for those wheels? I am thinking of ordering some exel wheels from those guys, and I was wondering if they are worth dealing with, and if you found out how much your wheels actually weigh? Sorry about your lugs bro!

Wheel Max isn't too great for customer service, lol, as you found out. They don't sell hubcentric rings either. You'll need a 73.1mm/56.1mm ring for the Exel wheels.
