new wheels:)

well guys , i upgraded my wheel package. now im on 18" zenetti chrommies with toyo z 40/235. i had 17" before but figured 18" a bit better and wont take away from my performance in any way.


will take pics with digital camera this weekend.:D

i have 18" Zenetti Vega's (chrome version), with falken tires, 40 profile. which zenettis did you get?

also guys i have 17" roh blade wheels with falken ziex 45/235 for sale. the wheels and tires have about 12,000 miles on them. in perfect shape. from the long island area and will ship if necessary. asking for $450.00 for the whole package. (17"x8")

email me if interested .

dirty dog i bought them off of my friend. he had them for 6 months then went to 19". only had like 5,000 miles on them. i think they are vega`s. not sure. but they are sick looking. :D

hey 99max...i live on long island....i really like those rims...questions....what kinda condition n r thy silver?

o yea n where on LI do u live?

o my bad i didnt see that u put they were in perfect condition

if you dont sell those rims by the end of the month ill prob buy them from you. Do you have a picture so i can check them out?

check out the zenetti website, you'll be able to tell which model they are. zenetti.com

What would be the best size rims and which tires are better for a 3rd gen?

yes 97 navy im in the suffolk county area (north shore). i will take pics of them . they are less than a year old. thw rims are silver but do have a high gloss shine to them.


email me crazdoug@optonline.net




:D dirty dog they are vega`s. i looked last night. thx 4 the help though .

so your selling 17 vegas? well if those are the rims your getting ride of ill definitely buy them from you if you still have them at the end of the month. Ill even give you $500 for waiting

tph1207 they are not zenetti`s that im selling...... they are r.o.h. blade 17" wheels w/235/45 falfen`s. :D

I hate all of you. One of my 18 inch katana Balagios got bent and now I'm stock. I'll be back in the game though as soon as i get some cheese. I'm ordering the Y-pipe now so I gotta do everything one step at a time:D

thx sucks gtr . but my friend got the same wheels as me zenetti`s hit a pothole and slighl;y bent it (popped his tire). so he got a new 1. i feel for you.

i really would but that seems as though it would slow you down. I could be wrong though

same here i think 19" would slow u down. they look good but i think 18" big enough. if im gonna b putting anything bigger than 18" then it would definately be much better on my mother`s benz:D

a friend of mine bent the shit out of a giovanni rim but its only like $175 to replace it. you just have to be cautious with them.

18 should be the limit if all you're concerned about is speed, 19 are the best looking on a Max if you are taking it to the limit, 20 are too big but congrats on the 18's 99maxse.

thx bk2kmax i sure will enjoy them:D it definately gives it a better look.:frog:

So you think there is a significant difference in speed with regards to 18s and 19s? I can't believe that 18s wouldn't slow you down either. Besides you don't get big wheels to go fast, you get lighter smaller wheels.

It is a well-known fact that the bigger the wheel which equals more rotational mass (in other words, it takes the tire longer to make a revolution) the less power you are going to put down to the ground faster.

You will notice some speed loss although it won't be as significant going from one size up to the next but if you were to go from 16 to 19 you'll definitely feel the difference, also it will penalize your fuel consumption slightly.

the sacrifices we make for show:D i really7 cant tell any differences in the ride on my max. stock i had the 16" s star which i still have . then went to 17" now to 18". i really dont think that is a big diff. between 17" or18" performance wise.:smoka:

I was referring to a jump from an 18" to a 19". You can't tell me there will be a significant change in anything performance-wise or fuel consumption wise just based on that 1". And do you think that a 18" wheel that weighs 50lbs is going to be faster than a 25lb 19" with the overall same diameter (with tire)?

The stock rims on my SE came chromed or zinc plated, or something.. something that the previous owner up and did for it. So, I'll still be able to keep the flashy thing going on during the winter.

thats good spaz i like the stock 5 star wheels!! a nice factory wheel. and ravq who has a 50 lb 18" wheel. i know mine aint anything close to that.:D

I dig them, They give me a little flash, while still being completely stock, lets me focus on other mods first, you know..

My old MOMOs weighed 48lbs and were only 17s. So ya there are heavy chrome wheels out there.

no i hear you ! thnere are heavy wheels out there.. probably more of a forged steel wheel in chrome than aluminum. but at least they wont bend or dent if u hit a bad ditch or pothole. some wheels like arent made for every road conditions. most of the italian wheels are made lightly,but can bend or dent on bad road conditions. sometimes its a catch 22:D

Not saying that to be so with a lighter wheel of bigger size but of a bigger wheel with equal or heavier weight than a smaller wheel obviously yes.

In this case of a 19 that is lighter than an 18 I'd say no.

your 18's equaled=200lbs
your 19's equaled=100lbs

should be obvious what advantages you have.

Good luck though
