Default SPORT MAX Racing wheels (rims)

Anyone have any experience with these? The price is right that's for sure, but can they hold up to track use? only $230-$250 for 4 wheels (15"x7"), and they have 5 lug 40mm offset (should fit my prelude just right).

any info, anyone has would be great.
Thanks,

5 x 114.3

I don't know about the Sport Max wheels but Team Dynamics has the Pro Race 2 in a Prelude fitment in 16x7 if you are thinking along the lines of ITS eventually...

I have the Kosi K-1 16" for IT, I'm looking for some 15" for HC-H2 and track days.

I didn't realize that the K1 was available in a 7" in 16 all I had seen was a 7.5.

true dat. ebay blocked at work so i couldnt tell

Buyer pays $70.00 fixed shipping & handling.Insurance is $20 extra.

still seems like a good deal, depending on the weight of the wheels.
if its 13lb - 14lb I think we have a winner. (and a set of rain wheels for my SM )
although since they dont state the weight it makes me wonder....

13lb min wheel weight for SM, donkey.


17lbs is a deal killer.
better to just pay an extra $100 and get some 13lb 15x7 wheels
