Got my new 18's put on...Pics!!
Bought some new rims. They are Ace Decorsa Stellar in hypersilver. Their 18 x 8.5 and wear 245-40/18 Hankook Ventus HR2 tires.
What do you guys think? I think their pretty damn sharp and i have yet to see them on any other max, which i like.

Ha, those pics make my drop look....good sadly. I have some sag with my drop which those pics dont capture really. The ride however isnt bad. Im sitting on B+G springs w/ stock SE struts that have 105K miles on them
Definately am keeping them clean. Got them wednesday and already was out there in 93 degree weather cleaning them!

btw its the first time that i see 18" wheels that actually look BIG to me on a max. how much do they weight?

Yeah, i also like Millies, but they are somewhat overplayed. I like these because they remind me of them (as well as Moda R6's) yet have a nice distinctive look. Oh, and my scale was messed up when i got them, so no weight. Oh, and i get the same comment about them looking bigger than they are. My buddy has 18s with a lip, and they look SO small in comparison to mine...

wish they made em in 19".
i think the reason that they look like 19"s is because of the spokes. they are longer than other 5 spoke rims. if u look closely, ud see that the spoke comes all the way near the tire and the edge of the lip where as in other wheels, thats not the case.

Being that they dont make them in another color, thats not possible
. However, i do like gunmetal, and wanted that for a long time. Reason i got them in Hypersilver is because yes, they stand out. I wanted something classy yet something that stood out and i couldnt get that with gunmetal really or plain silver...thanks for your opinion though...
Oh, and they sun was shining right on them too (sun was setting behind me). That also adds to their shiny-ness....

Damn dude your car keeps getting better and better
Those wheels are sick...always loved when the center of the wheel is set in compared to the rest of the wheel if you know what I mean. What was the offset on those?
