I need to know how they look. I think they look awesome, but need few more opinions.
Here is a link to my page.

WEll the reason why I got them I got them brand new with tires for 700 shipped. Rubber is NanKand N2 235-40-18. The finishing is actually called Hyper Dark Silver. When you look at them differnent angles they look dark.
PLUS THEY ARE SO LIGHTTTTT!!!. I had 18" 2005 oem's AND IT SLOWED MY CAR DOWN LIKE CRAZY.
I just painted my grille, so I'm about to paint my door handles. You are right aih98Max; It would look much better.

Weird, I had hyper silver before but yours look more like polished/chrome instead???
nonetheless, its your car, therefore build her to your liking and not for others to like

Nice Neptune Blue Max, the rims would look cleaner with your new springs (I'd invest in new struts/shocks as well) but its hard to appreciate the car with the low quality pic. If you don't mind me asking, how much did the grille cost to get repainted and is the color match accurate?

I actually painted the grill black. It was chrome before but i sanded it down for about 15 minutes put some primer on it and then put black paint. But it's not the shiny black, it's what they call flat black.

But don't be down about your rims, just because a bunch of people on the internet aren't crazy about them (I still think a clearer picture and aftermarket springs/struts are needed). But generally it's just hard to appreciate a nice set of rims on a Max without a drop. Whatever you do to your car in the future refer to your own opinion first and foremost.
