yeah i have when i had my old car...i bought 17's with tires often them for like $800 shipped...they are pretty good, if u call them up they go out and make sure it will fit your car and everything and the product and quality is good...the price kicks ass too...although unless u ask they usually give u some sh*t for tires...ask for something good otherwise you'll get junk!

Yup, I have. They are decent. I didn't have any problems when I ordered from them.

wheelmax is pretty good. i too also ordered some rims for my old car from them. they usually have good deals for rims and tires for different sizes. it's true though, they only offer certain tires with the combo. usually faulken or kuhmo...which are pretty descent tires.

the only complaint i heard was that they only send 16 lugs(we have 20).. but then just go buy another wheellock and so add another protection to the rims and you should be fine

I got my 18s from them. They were a little rude and crude, trying to make it seem like "talk faster man, we're busy". Not the way I would do business...but anyway. I had the rims with tires mounted in 4 days (from Florida to Nebraska) and the price at the time was the cheapest I could find anywhere, advertised or not.

They did only send 16 lugs, but I called and complained and I got em to send 4 more. Of course, I am running locks, but I just wanted the extra 4 around.

Overall...eh.....I'd do it again. I'm one that loves being taken care of as a customer. They won't do that. They will get you your rims, the right ones, and they'll get em to ya fast.

i agree with clone.. tho with all the stories that float around this board and probably others, they will give you THE cheapest price on rims(of course thats assuming you dont have hookups).

I have heard that WheelMax.com is OK, but their customer service is allegedly subpar. Also, you might want to check around your area for local shops if you have a particular set of rims in mind. I found that I could get my rims with the tires I wanted mounted balanced and the like for cheaper than the rims and tires alone off the internet.

The rims I bought from them came balanced incorrectly. I dont know if they all do, but they did a crappy balance job on my rims.

When I put them rims on my steering wheel would start to shaking at higher speeds, like 60mph+. I took it to the toyota dealership and they rebalanced them on a machine called GSP9700 Vibration control system. It's a more sensitive balancing machine. Anyway it showed that the rims were not balance good and that caused the shaking.

The rims were fine, not scratched. If you have the same problem just get them rebalanced. I wrote a post on it in the General Dicussion forum.
