Right but those are 002's. The 501's are 15 offset, they were designed with xB fitment in mind. 002's just require too much work to make them fit, and the 501's look better too.

OH, I don't know all the Sportcraps by #. Sorry. And what you are telling me is they only tool for one offset, so you get what you see. Either sunken in, sticking out, rivets falling out, and without any options.

Nice. Hence the Sportcrap name.

I find my sportmax wheels to be well made, but you wouldnt know because you have never owned sportmax wheels. More than half the wheels on the market dont come with options so i dont see how that makes them crapy. Not everyone has the money to drop 2g's on a set of works.

Sportmax makes a good looking wheels for cheap, doesnt make them crapy.

Yup... besides, spending 600-1000 per corner for a multi-piece wheel is stupid. Keep in mind how much our car costs...

It's NOT HOW you drive. It's THE roads that suck. Potholes from he!!.

I've had 18" volk te37's on my supercharged 2006 civic si for over a year in NYC and zero bends....

if you are damaging wheels on NY streets you are not being cautious enough.

I don't plan on getting anything that big for my xB becuase i think its too big BUT picking out a wheel due to my area.... is a bs argument and extremely lame.
