They look good, I'll give you that, but not at all my style. I think chrome wheels look horrible on our cars. I would def. get those windows tinted though for sure.
Edit: Whoops just noticed you had tinted windows. lol . Yeah how much do those things weigh???

Looks good. You know what they say, "Go chrome or go home!"

there is a work for that and it is not ricey...
I do not think it looks bad though. As long as you keep the grill chrome. maybe even some sort of billet style, and or other chrome stuff to even it out.

they look ok but im not a chrome fan, chrome is better for old schools and german cars, i bet the aussie members will like them though

not my style at all, those rims look very heavy!
but if you like it then thats all that matters, just lowers it and it may look better.
I also think that your rims and that muffler dont match.

I thought it was, "If it don't go, chrome it..."

i like the style and the size of your rims looks good on your car, but sorry to say chrome looks cheap.....i would get them pro. colored. gun metal or charcoal... anything than chrome...
they are 18īs
don't let these guys get u down bro. they are just giving u their opinion. not everyone will like the same thing.
what matters is that YOU likem.
now on to more important ?'s.
what size tires are on it?
how does it handle and is there any rubbing?
it looks like there is still room to lower it,are u planning on doin that?
and last but not least,need more pics please.
i have found these rims. for my 05. my car is bright red so i thought these would go nice.

They look good,but it is all about taste, if you like them that is all that matters. I like chrome, that is my taste. It is like Black rims, I never will understand spending money on rims that make your car look like you are running around on steelies with no hubcaps.

Those look good, but anything wheelmax sells is junk. Spend your money wisely grasshopper, and get name brand wheels, you'll have less problems.

could we get better pics, those are ok, but i like to view the rims front on so do a side shot of ur car or something with the rims pointed straight forward.

and maybe without your lights on?
dragco. thanks. and i don't mean to jack ur thread man but....
cbog. thank u for the heads up. i am completely new at modding my elantra.
what makes them junk? can u be more specific. it has been so hard to find a set of rims that matches the style of what an elantra is. to the point that i don't want something gaudy.
and i am alittle apprehensive about doin 18's. this is my 1st choice(18's),but i have been doin alot of reading and alot of u guys don't like the 18's for daily drivers. my car is a dd and the roads a pretty good in the summer but the winter is a diff story. pot holes do pop up here and there.
plus the fact that i will lower the car,but i won't go anymore than 1.2-3 in the front and 1.5 in the back. i want to set the suspension up to handle aswell. engine performance or lack there of is not important, i want to feel the car respond suspension wise.
so my ? is what size rims should i be look ing at to go with my plans. and who makes a good wheel thats no to expensive.:imnotwort:imnotwort
my car is bright red. i thought about bronze wheels but can't find any pics on here of red cars with bronze/gold wheels.
thank u guys for letting me jump in here,i do appreciate it.
