depends on the look your going for. they're good looking rims, and even though they're on the smallish side in my opinion, if you lower the car a wee bit i think it will look great

+10!

I told you they would look small. Very Honda-ish.... sorry, JMO.

How much did you pay?

Off topic, but those headlights look good. How is the light pattern at night?

Is that a Rebadge? amgalex are you sure that's not a E320 Undercover? I think we need to see a few Engine Pics

J/K

All jokes aside I actually like the rims / the deepdish looks tight in the back. Are they staggered? If you would to drop it.... it would look 110% Better (hence why they look tiny)

No really, tell him how you really feel.

Um....I mean.....if you're using them as a $500.00 winter set then they're fine. But as wheels go, not my cup of tea.

This is my second day driving around with these wheels on and at first I was not sure but now I like them, they look more aggressive than stock did and I think they go perfect on a silver car, I can't believe so many people don't like them. 19" would look real nice but im Ok with 18" , a thought crossed my mine on putting 19" only in the back I wonder how that would look
Specs on wheels: 18x8.5 front 35mm 18x9.5 rear 35mm
