Hi, I was looking at NEX-O rims on WheelMax.com and I read somewhere that NEX-O was Wheel Max's in-house brand. I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with the NEX-O brand, and if they're cheap crap or decent stuff.

Here are the rims I've been spying: http://www.wheelmax.com/product.asp?ProdId=10732

Does anyone know anything about NEX-O?

7.5" wide? Too narrow for me.

Are you getting them for your Honda Civic?

Sounds like a children's song. Nex-o was his name-o.

never heard of them.....I do agree with Revlefty, 7.5 is pretty narrow..but everybody has their own opinion on what looks good and what doesn't....in the end, you have to like them..

good luck

agree the width is good for the front but not the back so get them staggered....you will not regret it! Ph I think they look great just too small.

The new tires for these rims will be 235/50/18's, and the stock tires I've got on now are 235/55/17's, so the tire width won't change from what I've got on now, which is fine. The rims don't come any wider, and although it'd be nice if they were a little wider (even the stock bullitt rims are 8" wide), the tire size will be the same, so no biggie.

Just wondering if anyone had heard of the brand before. I've heard stories of rims from AmericanMuscle and places like that flaking, and having nasty finishes on them, so I don't want to end of dealing with any of that.

Why would you upgrade and still run a 235? It's way to small for these cars, I can't wait till I can get rid of these tiny rear tires.

In this case, I have to keep 235's to fit the 7.5" rims (that's the only width the rims come in), but really I haven't had any problems with the stock 235 tires as far as handling or anything goes. They look good enough as far as I'm concerned, and I can corner the car pretty hard and not have any grip issues or anything, so I don't mind the 235 tires.

Just wondering though, comparing a 7.5" width to an 8" width, even if they're running the same 235 tires, would there be any difference in handling or ride quality or anything? Does the actual width of the rim matter if the width of the tire is the same?
