Anella Calanthe rims

I Just got a set of 19" and they look great. I was initially going to buy the Maya TTS but they look the same to me only the Anella's are a lot cheaper.

What do you guys think??

well, I know they are flashy, but some how flashy, chromed designs look good on a black car I think.

Dont they look exactly the same as the MAYA tts???

i personally would NOT buy any no-brand name wheels. they tend to bend and break very easliy. you get what you paid for.... always remember!

I ussually dont like chrome rims... but these have a potential to look good on a black car. Please post pics when installed!

I think it will look good...I usually hate chrome *makes the car look ghetto* but I've seen this/maya tts on a silver C and it looks real good. good luck and look forward to the pics.

they tend to break with regular use? or when you do stupid things like hitting a curb , etc?

The way I drive my C they will last 100 years, believe me!

I am a VERY careful guy and my last experience w/no name(Focal cirqua my eclipse spyder days:p )brand wheels was unpleasant. I hit a railroad track I guess a bit hard and I broke that rim and other instances like that. Either way good luck w/them =) Make sure you get good tires though

I got Falken 235/30/19.

I know I should have gotten wider ones for the rear but too late now. Once they wear out ill get 245s which I believe are the biggest I can put on a 19" 8 rim.

I wouldve gone with the Maya TTS... like what some have mentioned you get what you pay for... yes they are cheaper but they don't look as good as a true multipiece rim like the Maya's...
