Do you like these wheels?

Just looking for opinions for my Titanium Speed. I have been looking for 18 x 7.5" wheels in a gunmetal finish and polished lip for a long time but can't seem to find something I really like or that doesn't cost a fortune. I want something that only has 5 bolt holes (don't like universal fit wheels - to me they look a little cheap).

I originally wanted these wheels. They are a new brand offered by Wheelmax and are pretty cheap. The nexo website says they are offered in 18x7.5 but wheelmax does not sell them in that size and they are the only distributor of these wheels. I've called twice and Wheelmax says if it is not on their site, they don't sell it. I've tried contacting nexo through email but they haven't returned my email in two weeks so I doubt I'll get any information. I can't even find out the offset.

Wheelmax only has them available in 17x7

I next came across these wheels on discounttire.com and they look decent but don't have the polished lip I'm looking for. They come in +48 offset they would fit nicely. I did a VERY FAST photochop and put them on someone elses MSP because it was a good angle. Hope you don't mind me posting your car with cheaper wheels since you have Work's :)

Let me know what you think of these wheels or if you have any suggestions to get me closer to what I was thinking like above with the polished lip. I'm not looking to spend a fortune.

Thanks..... Mark

Yeah, I like the first set better but I can't find out any info on them and where I can purchase the size I want.

Hawaiian, I saw your pics and that is when I decided I wanted to go with that style also but only with a polished lip.

The first one you posted is not available in 5x114 for the 18x7.5 and no polished lip.

Second set, just not for me and they are universal. I like wheels that have the exact number of bolt holes. They look cleaner and more expensive.

Third set, I liked those also but again they are universal. If they were just 5 lug I would probably go for them.

The photoshoped pic is starting to grow on me.

Thanks for the help guys.

I like that photochop. Those wheels will look good for sure..better than the first ones I think.

I got a set of these http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?wd=18&pc=67389&rw=7.5&bp=5-114.3
on 215/35/18 Falken Ziex 512. They look sic have to get pics of them on my Pro5. Feedback???

If you could post a few pics of your car with these that would be great. I saw these last night and wasn't too crazy about the lines on each side of the spoke but it is hard to make a judgement without seeing them on the car. Are yours gunmetal?

Pics asap please.

Discount tires emailed me a quote for the MB boost rims (the ones I photoshoped) and they are $1152 with Falken 451's shipped to me. Not bad.

Unfortunately I did give up on them. I wasn't going to spend that much money on them only to be stuck with them when they rub like crazy. +42 would definitely be pushing it.

Oh well.

Yeah I will I need to clean them first they dirty. Thats what I've found out bad bout the polished lip, they show dirt like a mofo
 
OK, I did two more quick photoshops (I really hate having to get rid of the WheelMax logo).

The first picture is with the wheels I first posted (I still can't get any information about them, so I think I don't have a chance to get them but they do look nice).

The second is with the Excel Daytona's. Not bad either - just two different looks. The Nexo wheels give it the racer look while the Excel wheels make it look like a euro tuner.

IDK...

I lowered it also because I just got my TEIN SS last week so that is what I'm anticipating it to look like.
