Not sure, Price is right, tire size is 225/40/18. and the last rim in the pic is a little messed up, but for 450 shipped it might be worth it, still debating with my self though.

ya'll are trippin! gun metal or silver? if you want a cheap lookin max go with that weak gun metal look. 470 shipped, you can't beat that deal. those rims are tight. I don't understand some ppl, but to each his own. I just bought 20's today and yes they're chrome and the max looks tight as hell. don't front! Or, you could just go with those played out mille uglia wheels!

20 inch chrome wheels on a maxima def. ghetto. I would get some 18"s with a chrome lip and paint them white to match your car.

I'm not a fan of chrome wheels on a Max and they look pretty beat up. I agree that last wheel could be bent. You get what you pay for. I'd pass on them.

Those wheels are beat up. The picture is bad and I am sure the wheels in real life would look much worse. Those wheels look like they have been in an accident or something. BTW, it's not just the face of the wheel that is important. They could be busted up on the backside as well.

$450? Not even worth it.

I don't think they are worth it. You will probably have a lot of problems with them. Remember, you get what you pay for.

18's on 5th gens are too small! You gotta go with at least 19"s. How can you talk **** about my wheels when you haven't even seen them FOOL!

You just love personal attacks, huh? Do you have any pictures of your car so we can see what you are talking about?

I just finished my car domain page. I just got my wheels on thursday and I'm planning on dropping it next week. It'll definately look better when it's dropped, but then again, any car usually does. here's the link - http://members.cardomain.com/r3d666skin If you don't like 'em, you should at least enjoy the hot chick BTW, check out nv max, he's got a white max on 20's. There's another thread about 5th gen max's on dubs where you can see a few other rides.
