Default "Sport Max" wheels?

Anybody seen any of these? I was looking through my new Car Craft and saw a red T/A with dark grey/gunmetal 18x9.5 Sport Max 962s. They looked damn good IMO. The pic was a front 1/4 shot, but from what I could see, they were Just wondering if anybody else has seen them or has any input on them.

Yea. It only showed a 18x8.5 for my T/A. But those were like $16x bucks a piece. It'd be nice if they had a different center. They'd look like a FM-5 then.

I just got the Sportmax Wheels 17 x 9 with silver centers. I am very happy with them. Paid $109 a wheel, but they ding you on the shipping for $95. If anyone is interested, PM me and I will let you know where I got them. They aren't a sponsor so I don't want to step on any toes.

Those prices are hard to beat. I'm going to have to see what I can sell to come up with some extra $$

If it weren't for the ricer style multiple lug holes, those would be some of the nicest wheels I've seen (especially the gunmetal/grey versions).

Yea, that's the only thing that might keep me from getting a set. Those gunmetal rims are sweet though. It'd be nice to have somebody who could CNC a set of covers to go over the center section with a logo/design and powedercoat it the same color as the wheels.

I have Konig Monsoons and I hate them because of the 10 hole center. I would think long and hard before buying anything like those. They do look alot like rice to me.
