wheel opinions

Well I had some wheels lined up but the dealer fell thru.. grr..

and I can't find the wheels I originally wanted anywhere else, so I'm trying to figure out what to do..

what do you guys think about these.. in 18x8.5 on a white Maxima SE which will be lowered..

I guess what I'm really looking to you all for is: does this wheel design look good on a maxima.. it's a "mesh" design..



They have silver, hypersilver, and HMC chrome... the one in the picture says chrome but i think it is hypersilver - could just be a dark reflection, though..

What do you all think?

Thanks!

While I typically prefer wheels that cover up more of the rotor and caliper, I do like this one.

The spokes on the C2s look funny, plus the C2s only come in polished color.. My buddy used to have C2s (18s) on his civic and it didn't look all that awesome.. hypersilver or chrome would look far better.. plus the paint on the spokes of the C2s made them look really cheap -- for a RH wheel, that is a ripoff..

The C5s have been around A LONG TIME and imho are well past played out..

So does anyone have this style on their max and can post pics??

Thanks in advance!!

sorry dude...I'm not an aftermarket fan to start with and Racing Harts were really the only wheels that ever caught my eye..

I'm more of an upgraded OEM type guy...like I plan on getting OEM chrome Q45 wheels or something like that...

I don't like noisy wheels. Nice simple star is what I think looks good. You know what you like...go for that.

The wider the better. I have C5s but will most likely be upgrading to a wider wheel.
