OK so i got these chrome 18's off a car i recently purchased and they need tryes but for the price of the car i'm not complaining. I bolted them on today in place of my normal silver 17's to see what they looked like on the car and i'm unsure of whether or not i like them. They are different and bigger but not sure on the style. I'm not asking anyone to tell me whether or not to pu them on, I just want to see what you guys think of the wheel on the car.

Eh the chrome rims make your car stand out more, but the other rims do look better.
Just put the 17's on the back all commodore like, then the 18s up front.

I like both to be honest...?? At the end of the day it doesnt really matter what we say, if you like them then keep them. I would, Im about to put a set of 19's on my car.

yeah don't get me wrong, they are different in a good way, however they are only going to be on for a few months until i get the 20's that i want.

i prefer the 17s personally - not a huuuuge fan of mega chrome smoothering on mag wheels, i like acenting and highlighting.

if your going to 20s later, stickw ith what you got, coz it sounds like you will need to buy tyres for the 18s and thats wasted money no?

Not a big fan of that design, I like the straight 5 spokes; but you might need a bigger exhaust if anything.

i'd get the 17's polished, not a huge fan of the spokes on the chrome ones (or chrome for that matter) but shiny does suit dark cars with chrome highlights.... polished clean spokes would be perfect :D

That 2nd set is absolutely hideous. Stick with the 17's.

Yea the 2nd ones don't match the car, 17's look whole lot better

Normaly don't like chrome but it's good to see something different for a change.

not really, i've already pre-sold the 17's for the same ammount it will cost to re-tyre the 18's. but yeah i keep changing my mind on them.
