      I actually wanted the Giovanna Palermo's first, but when someone told me that a 17x8.5 wheel wouldn't fit on my car I had to go to my second option. I ended up wanting these wheels the most now because I saw them in a pic on another Protege and it looked pretty tight.

        I don't really like them from the pic, if I could see them on a car it might look better, I just can't put things together in my head.

            I actually saw the wheels on a black Nissan Sentra last night. They looked pretty bad ass in my opinion. I figure that if they look good on a black car at night then they might look good on my car at night, which is naturally emerald green mica during the day, but looks black at night. Someone on this site showed me a pic of some guys Pro that had wheels closely resembling the Corsicas. I think they were by ADR or something. It looked pretty good. I'll have to try and find the thread that had the link to the site in it.

              Be careful if you're going to buy those from Wheelmax, I've heard some pretty bad things about them... Actually I thought they were bankrupt.

              The wheels are pretty bling, though

                Thats what I thought too, as far as them being bankrupt goes. I actually went to their website and tried the number listed and it was still in service. Then they told me that they could get the Giovanna's for me for 225.00 each, which is ****in' awesome!! Ive seem them in other places as high as 280.00 and 362.00 each. So I figure, I'll give it a shot and see what happens. I keep hearing mixed reviews about the company.

                  Well, I guess just order with a credit card so you can get the money back if need be. It may be a good idea to call your card company ahead of time to see if it would be a problem getting the money back. It shouldn't, but you never know.

                    do not buy from wheelmax! I did an i regret it my wheels are ok but the service was a nightmare and only 1 out of 6 different people i talked to could give me a straight answer about an issue with the lugs. I was driving on nearly bald tires 80 miles round trip for work for nearly a week before it was resolved. Should have listened to all the advice against buying from them on these forums. Do yourself a favor, do a search and read up on them, and seriously consider saving for another month or so to get your wheels elsewhere. Sorry for the lengthy post, just wanted to get the point across. Oh yeah, and I think the wheels look alright, but im not a big fan of crome on modern cars. By the way, what are you driving. (year? color?)
