you'd have to get them in 19" for them to look decent

18's should have at least an 8" wide rim.

dang...looks like alot of no's and very few yes'. Thanks for your input, I will keep looking for some better rims. I would like to stick with 18's as the roads in Houston are not very good and I know if I had 19's I would have many bent rims. What is the widest rim that we can put on our max's? Also is there any drawbacks to putting a wide rim on our car?

Noooooooo!!!! *runs in slow motion over to nadeem and slaps money out of hand to prevent purchase* Personally, I think the rivets clash with the design of the wheel. The design makes the wheel look like it wants to be simple, yet classy. But then the rivets take away the classy and add a bit of tacky and a bit of cheap. Moral of the story: Not a good look.

EDIT: 8.5" width is pretty much universally recommended for the max. I swear I've seen someone on the org with 9 or 9.5" rims.

Looks like too much going on with it. Not simple enough. A more conservative look is to my liking. Just my .02

I don't like the wheels. In my opnion, rivets are ugly on a wheel and I woudn't go with 18's only because you start to hurt yourself performance-wise. In my opinion, I'd look for a 17 x 8 rim with no rivets....but that's just me, do what fits your style.

The design looks too busy. I don't mind the rivets but the spokes could look better.

i think they look like those tenzo r rims, the ones that are on every civic out there, might work in 19 though, might then look like the hre rims.
