Great looking wheels..what's wrong with buying them at WheelMax?
The owner Ben and his son will give you good deals and good Mount and Balance when you buy them..
Go Fot It..

Nex-O wheels are only sold by Wheelmax... I've heard mostly good things about them tho I've never ordered from them. The handful of times I spoken to customer service, they were pretty cool. I had wondered about nitro filled tires -- from reading about it -- it sounded cool but I dunno... I've been filling my tires w/air for years w/no issues.

I got my Nex-O rims from wheelmax, they charged me for balancing but they came unbalanced, and one tire was out of round. I am also having some minor issues with the coating on one of my rear wheels, it's already starting to chip, and I haven't even driven in gravel since I got them.

I love the ride though, and they look great from a distance. I would buy them, but have them balanced yourself at a local shop that can mount them for you.. 20-30 bucks max.

Yeah, you're not the first person to report chip/fade of Nexo wheels. At one point, I was looking at Nexo's but I kept reading the same thing so I turned away from them.

I can always fill it in with some auto paint, but it starts looking ghetto after a while.

If I decide to keep them, and they perform well I will have them dipped localy here, and chrome em out, forget the paint.

With your car black, you can pretty much get away w/painting it any color. Dark bronze and polished lip would look pretty tight.

could be a standard 5 lug setup only, or maybe an incorrect offset. They might not be a universal fit like some of the others.
