Exel make a good product?
Oh my gosh, found this great buy!!
Does Exel make a good wheel?
How is Wheelmax's service?
I love the Flash in Gunmetal for my 02 black sedan!
Let me know what you think!!!

Also, could someone explain the difference between a 215-40 tire and a 215-45?
I read somewhere that I should get the 45s because I don't have my car lowered yet.

Rep Power: 341 215-40 will be a 40% sidewall. 215-45 will be a 45% sidewall. That means that the tire will be x% as tall as it is wide. So, while you can have a 215-40 that is barely there, a 295-45 is gonna be pretty tall.
Unless you drive on REALLY nice roads, I'd go for -45.
I've never heard anything bad about Exels.

40% is the TOTAL sidewall height. so for 205/40 thats about 84mm. The sidewall is actually 42mm, and then the other 42 is on the opposite side of the rim. Its a sizing dimension for the diameter.
