IMO they are too small...the tire aspect ratio is too high (what are those 45/50s?) and they look almost like chrome versions of OEM 5th gen rims so they are too plain..but its your ride so if yo like it thats what matters.

they are 50 at the moment. I could go with 40 or 45 but then I would have to drop the car which I dont want cuz of bumps and stuff.

small tires on 17" would give a extra gap which would not look good. as I said if i buy small tires with 17" then i'll have to lower the car. which I dont wanna mess with the original suspension.

I know chrome for 17" is kinda small. but I didnt pay too much for them even though its a real chrome I still got a good deal. also they are under warranty, I could buy 18" or 19" but that would have cost me $270 or $300 a piece. infact I got mine for $145 a piece.

I would never sell my old or buy new wheels based on what other people thought of them. If you like them, that's all that matters. Having said that, they look ok.

You basically are wasting your money. Everyone is going to have a different opinion on your rims and your going to live your life trying to please them. If you have such a low self-esteem that you have search the internet for moral support, then maybe you should stop buying rims and invest in professional help.

The rims look ok IMO....

Yeah cause there 17"s, I can get those down here for like $100 a rim.
Who makes those rims?

Is it single plated chrome double or triple.?

So like I said wait and save, why are you in such a rush to get rims?
I'm sure you can find good deals around later just because you have a good deal today doesn't mean you have to buy it right away.
You just admitted you want bigger rims so just wait and save simple.

Trust me your going to kick yourself later on. If you have doubts get your refund and save up for ones you really want and enjoy for the rest of the life of the car, that's my two cents. I'm not trying to hate but I feel like your not sure of what you want. If you were sure than you wouldn't care what we have to say and change rims the next day. I'm not hatin just trying to help..

I understand...but its already done now. The only option I got now is getting refund with in 30 days. Thats only if rims are difective I aint sure if I can return them cuz of they are 17". I could go for 18" or 19" but then I would have to buy new tires according to the size of rims, new rims and tires would have cost me over $1800 which is beyond my spending limits. I bought 17" tires couple of months ago so just thought of buying new rims which I did. trust me even 17" chrome has changed the look of my car. and dont u forget when u have 19" or 18" rims u have to have them checked every few months after cuz of the pot holes and bumps u hit. (I think something to do with suspension) not sure. anyway I've already recieved enuff opinions from ppl in here and already made my mind on keeping 17" for now. BTW I think they are single or double plated chrome. not sure!!!

A LOT BETTER! I see u got rid of the "R" on the trunk. The wheels make the car a lot cleaner looking. Nice work.

Time for some suspension
