will this look good?

I'm usually not a fan of chrome, but then again I don't want to break my pockets..I was looking at some wheels, but I just can't spend 2k on Axis Pentas right now..These don't look all that bad..And the price seems good..Not sure if they will fit our cars though..everyones opinions? to ghetto/ blingy?

They look like they stick out a bit, not something i would imagine you find a lot of a Maxima. Other than that they look pretty good. I personally like the ones that are inside of the actual wheel. Is that what Vig was talking about when he said offset? I'm such a noob

I like the style of the rim, I'm just not a fan of the finish. I think they would look pretty hot in a gun metal finish. Why not check with the store to see if they can give you those same rims in a different finish?

those rims would look nice on your car just as long as they dont stick too far out! And as far as to ghetto/blingy i dont think u should woory about that because theres many people with chrome 22 inch rims on our cars including me and we wouldnt settle for anything else! So if you like them and there in your price range i say buy em!

I like them, very nice. If I were going 20s, I would consider them but again that's me. If you like them, get them. If you're not a fan of chrome, hold out for something you like but for $500 it's tough to beat that price. Good old Craigs list.

but just for you this is what chrome looks before you know. It just doesn't hold especiallly in states with snow/salt combination.

If you polish them often does the salt damage still occur?

I've had mine for two years.... Not salt/mag chloride mark on them. I keep the waxed and clean them when they get dirty. Plusssss I have a set of 17in wheels that I run in the winter with my winter tires for traction.

The reason this rims look like this is because he had a dent and they heated up the rim to fix it and did a ****y job

This might sound a bit crazy but if you are on a budget try craigslist. lots of choices with wheels included for well under 2k. Just don't ask the person you buy from where they got it. You probably won't want the truth. Ohh I agree with statements above, chrome is a soft and easy to wear metal. Deffinitly think about all aspects before you commit to purchasing.

^^^^^^^^ not a fan about your statement. its ppl like this i hate because it puts people like me and a lot others [people that buy legit stuff at a discount [not the five finger discount]] at risk when we want to put nice things on our car. im all for finding the best deal but not like that. thats why i left the honda scene and havent looked back.
