Has anyone any pics of Sportmax XXR on an NA?

Why a 0 offset - you can also get them in +15 offset.

I heard the 15x7 +15 is just as aggressive with fitment though. Is there any fact to that?

But mainly I want the silver with the black spokes (or black with silver dish depending on how you look at it). Only the fully polished one and the completely black with red lip is available in the 15x7 from what I've seen.

The sportmaxx look great - cheap too! what about the weight - is that listed anywhere?

pix of my guards, coulda done a better job and of course the twit told me over the phone that it wouldnt leave a mark and hes been doing it for years and then halfway through he started making excuses. Im not saying I can do a better job, just that u should be aware that your car will look like its been crashed and scRAPED along the sides. pm me of you want this blokes deets - so you know where not to go. a guard roller costs $150 and anyone can buy one. Clearly.

Id be inclined to see if your 8" rims fit without rolling forst - borrow a mates and see. Mine is standard ride height and suspension - it scrubs a bit at close to lock but guard rollings not going to stop taht.

front, thats an 8" rim under there. didnt need rolling at all.

more front

rear. not as bad as the fronts.

Those look like 6UL?

If so, the offset is much less aggressive and you shouldn't need to roll your guards with them.

An offset of +0 or +15 on a 8" wide rim sits 36mm and 21mm further out than yours.

Depending on height, tyres and camber, I think the +15 would need a roll and +0 would need a pull.

Not if you're comparing to 15x8 +0...

Do the maths, x7 +15 is more equivalent to a x8 +27.5

So a x8 +0 will sit 27.5mm more out than a x7 +15

aah yes, you are right on both counts - left my brain out in the shed :oops:

You should put bolt on fenders over the bent guards! Car would look a lot tougher. That' always been one of my favorite looks. I might just go for the 15x7 polished and just get the spoked powdercoated.

I just wish someone would either make an offer on my Wat's or trade for a set of 513's

fyi the ebay seller that was selling the sportmaxx finally got back to me regarding weight of the sportmaxx XXR rims - 'about 7kgs each' :shock:

think i'll stick with my 949s at 5.62 kgs each for 8"

Here are some pics of my NA with mine wearing them 0 offset..

Hope this helps :lol:

wow, I really love your car colour looks good.

Leave it at that height, and put some flares on it, would look ultimate BOSS.

The two aren't really comparable though are they?
One was designed for racing and the other for looks. Sportmaxx deliver everything they promise.

Also very nice MasterZ. Haven't seen you around here in a while.

very true, although the extra couple of KGs would deaden the handling somewhat - how important this is is up to the driver.

I must say that dark red NA looks magical! PM Lightyear on this forum re CF wheel arches - I know he was getting some moulded up to start production.

Yeah I'm thoroughly convinced now. Sportmax 513's here we come! I'm not worried about weight to be honest. I'm keeping my Watanabe's for track wheels and the sportmax for the streets. I admit yeah, they weigh a lot... But there are heavier wheels.

Also, I'm still yet to see an NA running 15x7 +15!!!!!!!!! I want to buy them in that size and offset but I'd like to see some pics of fitment. Sadly nobody runs them.
