I like the Z wheels better as well. The '12 Maxima wheels offset looks....different.


Any clue as to the specs on those?


A pair of 00-01 tails would look really good on your car too.

I understand, it's a Maxima not race car anyway lol

I can't say much anyway, I'm still running stock wheels (until end of winter, Motegi lightweight here I come babe ). Cant wait for new wheels...

A pair of black tails would look really good on any car, so long as it's a 5th gen Maxima
BTW, you can get a pair of black tails for like $45 on eBay, gotta look around some.

Of course, I was talking about OEM!

I didn't know you can find em like that either. I thought they were just black/aftermarket ones for that price. But a dude on here A33_Ridah told me about the possibility of finding OEM. You just have to search eBay or the .ORG classifieds for when they come up.

Those wheels look pretty sweet!
I agree with Stillwell, some Black 5th gen SE tails would set it off
There's this site..

^^ Very nice and clean. Not the biggest fan of Stillen bulky lip kit but looks good.

And I love the I35, those are just sexy in black. Reminds me of my I30. And you dont see em anymore...

Anyone notice that? You see a good bit of 5th gen Maximas still around, but an I35 these days is quite rare. I wonder why, considering it's the same car

Haven't posted in forever, but here's a shot from 2012, and one more recent!

2012:

Current:

98k and still kicking! I know, still young, but considering the transmission blew at 93 and I almost parted ways...I'm happy I decided to keep it. Went through hell after I let it sit for a year, but all is well once again!

Thanks man. I agree with you that you rarely see an i35 on the road anymore. Its a very well equipped car, surprises me that there are so few.

Nice car. Love it. Best color for these cars, especially with the black taillight. Look good with those rims.

Alright, pictures post #2 for me. Lets keep it going?!

Can't wait, and I mean I really cant wait to put new wheels on it once it gets warm again.

Yep. I've been trying to scope out another set and run all 4 wheels the same size, but I can't decide if I want all fronts (18x8 with +30 offset) or all rears (18x8.5 with 33+ offset). Decisions!

Thought of it yes. Dont really want one, VQ30 is a better engine IMO. And for my purposes its perfect, I may still supercharge her in the future and call it a day. Vq35 has zero advantages for me, for what I wanna do.
