Those actually look pretty nice. Take a couple of daylight shots from a bit farther back to let us see a realistic look on the Max.

Well they are like the 3rd gen wheels somewhat on STEROIDS......will look even better on a I35! Very Good taste....Looks OEM, what's the centric bore on Chevys? Any rubbing?

You ever thought about losing the adapters and putting some 245/40/17 tires on that beast? It's beautiful!!!!!! Take some more pics.....it's like a lady wearing a medium length dress with a big split up to her crouch! You just wanna see a little more and you can bearly breathe or swallow til the next glance of flesh...LOL!

I'm in for better pics, too, but I think that looks pretty decent already.

+1 for being original and not afraid to try something.

Really those weren't 5 x4.5(114.3mm)? I'm surprised the Vettes aren't using the basic Chevy wheel pattern....Sorry! So I guess you would really rub in the back unless you used the same 17x8.5 in the rear also that would free up so space....Still Looks nice!

I was on the site for ten years, if it didnt have bbs wheels, bags or some ugly headliner it wasnt cool enough and people hated on you. It gets tiresome going to a car show with 2000 cars and 3/4 all have the same wheels stance and cocky owners who think they are different. Granted go big or go home is nice, but when you have 15 cars lined up that are the same color, same wheels and a different bag set up, it just kills gong to a car show. Its kind of like going to a car dealership and seeing cars there

I think the bbs would look sick on a max, just as the C4 wheels do.
