I think they look okay, but if you dont like them, get a new set then. There are many lightweight 18" wheels in the market.

Well since you asked: I don't like them. That style in 20's + might look ok on an SUV, but it doesn't belong on a Max. I also feel that chrome wheels of that style look silly in sizes as small as 18's...sorry...

yeah i like chrome but im just trying to find out why my car is so slow with them... is it beacuse they are 1 inch bigger than my stock ones? or is it weight (they are almost the same weight, little heavyer... u guys with the aftermarket 18s do u still have good performance???
