if looks is the ONLY thing thats of concern, than any brand wheel will do, kind of like any brand car.
2 negatives here:
wheelmax= excel=
but I hope youre 1 of the more fortunate ones.

never exp with wheelmax, but i know this site hates them as i read couple members exp with them and it wasnt good. exel is just like any other knockoff wheel (adr, rs limited, arospeed, bsa, etc).


how much do those wheels weigh? thats one important factor to think about.

as for looks, i think it'll look nice if its gonna have a lip like shown in the photo

never had experience with Exel myself. While I was lookiing for new rims I was considering them. I was at my mechanics shop once though, and this POS civic was in there. He had Exel rims and 3 out of the 4 rims had dents in them.

I have experience with Exel and Wheelmax. Customer service was good, i didnt have any problems. But the wheels definitely suck! I hit a pothole that wasnt even that big and bent the **** out of it, then had to pay 300 to replace it.

I bought some motegi ff5's pff pf ebay a year or so ago with tires on ebay for my old jetta. i hit teh biggest pothole of my life a month ago before i got rid of the jetta and the rims are perfect. the tires are only 20/45 r17. Motegi = cheap but i had good luck with them.
