how do you think these would look?

im shopping for wheels.. 18's for sure, but i don't have alot of money to spend.. so ive came up witch a few options.. but i don't know which i like best...

SO, im asking the .org what they think about these..

A) http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...4.3&vid=006346

B) http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...100&vid=006346

C) http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...100&vid=006346

D) http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...4.3&vid=006346

E) http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...100&vid=006346

F) or recomend some that aren't too expensive.. but look really good..

im just afraid of spending the money on them. and then think they look stupid on our car,

any input is appreciated

I would go with Option (B) Enkei RS6 if I were going to put any of those on my Max.

I like A and B. I know your struggle. I've been looking at rims for so long now. I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for so I just keep on searching. There are so many choices.

C, D, or E

Five spoke rims are so common they won't look like anything special...
Six spoke rims just don't look good, don't know why...

Personally, I generally prefer either seven spoke rims or five pairs of spokes (none of those are in your options), like this...

Okay here's some inexpensive ones....and at least get something wider:

8"
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...w=8&bp=5-114.3

8.5"
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...8.5&bp=5-114.3

wider = better.

i would say a or e, silver machine i think means a lil closer to gunmetal. I personally love gunmetal rims thats why i have a set!!1 nweays...if you're really looking to save money. Just buy nice decently used rims. that would be the cheapest way to go IMO

yea the majority looks like A and E.. I'd throw in D as well.

B and C have too many indentations. They don't look as clean or as uniform as the others IMO.

A is the winner.....whoever said that the 5-spoke is too plain/common is nuts....the max is a good looking car, but it's also a simple design. Thus, needs a simple, not to complex/messy-looking wheel. Option A would look killer, and yes, get it in a wider variation. Anything else does look too ricey.

Good luck with your selection. I myself have been looking at various wheels for about a year now and I FINALLY decided on what I'm getting, some nice Enkei RC5s....expensive as ****, but I KNOW they'll make a lowered max scream hotness. Plus they're lightweight. Oh yeah, and they're a 5-spoke design too again, good luck

I personally like E the best. Some of those wheels were way to skinny for 18s.

Dude I hate to say it but none of the above, although the middle one in the banner would look pretty hot on a Max

http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...100&vid=006346

I would like to get rims for my max, but unfortunately I live in an area where my stock hub caps were stolen, I don't even want to chance nice wheels and tires

But It looks like i am majority. I like A prolly the most. Good luck with the wheel shopping, i know how that goes.
