You are so right I will be taking my rims off tomorrow morning when I get home from work, It just started snowing today for the first time this year in Missouri. It has been cold enough for a few weeks now but not enough moisture till today. So Off come the rims!!! I hate winter, back to stock which are not bad looking to begin with, but I don't want the harsh winter to mess up my rim investment.......

I truly thought about possibly lowering her but I already have the sport package and I love how it has an agressive stance and I love the firm handling it already has stock. So as of now I am going to keep the ride height stock with the sport suspension. But I do agree that maybe a 1" or 2" drop would just set it off that much more.........I don't want to go to drastic and not like the ride after she is dropped.

'08 Nismo Z Rims
I really wanna see what a Max would look like with the Nismo Z rims (RAYS-Gunmetal-19"x10s). Anybody know the chances of getting a set of those and if 10" wide rims would be ok on the Max? I think the car could use some wider rims/tires (along with being a lil lower).

FLAT TIRE.... :-(
What a crappy Sunday........
.......first I wake up late, I am usually up by 1:00pm so I can work out and get all of my gear ready before work at 4:00pm (I work nights) and on this day I wake up at 2:55 it must have been the long night prior. My inital plan was to wake up early take off the new rims and put the stock rims back on because it is snowing here in Missouri and they are salting all of the roads.......Now I don't have time to do that and I have to rush!
So I hurry and get ready and head twoards Quizno's to pick up some snacks for dinner, which I normally don't do because I am up in time to make my own dinner and snacks and as I am getting back in the MAX I look down at my rear back left tire and realize that it is stiing VERY low.........So now I get back in the car to head home and my TPMS light is on ahhhhhhh! I head home fill it back up to 36 PSI and hope I can make to work on time.....which I don't and I am now late and "THE BOSS" can never be late if he expects his troops to be on time........anyway I get to work and check the tire pressure again and in just 10 miles she is already down to 29 PSI......CRAP!
I call the Wife to see if she can come by and pick up the MAX and leave her Honda but she is to nervous to drive my MAX with the new rims and a low tire in tow, I don't blame her........So now I have to rush back home to meet her and park the MAX in the garage and hurry back to work in time for our briefing.
But first I put the MAX on my floor jack, chalk the front tires so I can take the weight off the soon to be flat tire and try to prevent it from sitting on the rim all night!
I make a quick inspection and can't find any apparent damage to the sidewall so I am hoping what ever is causing me to lose air is in the tread where it is repairable and prevent me from having to buy a brand new tire. The only good news is that I had planned to take them off anyway for the winter and I have my very new stock 19's standing by in the garage for weather and issues just like this. I will have to wait until Monday or Tuesday to take my tire somewhere in Kansas City where they can fix the issue that can handle 20" custom rims and not scratch them all up like a Wal Mart would. And since I live in the Middle on no where that is pretty much the only option that I have here in this small midwest town............I hate living in the boonies!

Well finally took off the tires and put my stock rims back on and I had a chance to inspect the tire that was losing air pressure and to my surprise I did not pick up a nail or puncture I am baffled??? I am getting ready to call the deaership to see if they know what went wrong.........

Well droped my wheel off at the shop today and I will pick it up tomorrow morning and find out what was the cause of the loss of air. I had to find a shop that could handle custom 20" plus rims and new what they were doing. I just got these babies and I don't want any scratches or imperfections on her at all especially if it was not done by me. It is only fitting though the weather did get up to 52 degrees today only to go back down into the 30's with rain and snow in the forecast so it was time to take them off my ride anyway.........she just does not look the same anymore :-(
Oh well can't wait till spring to rock the bling!!!!

I got my wheel back today and the shop relayed that it was not a nail or cut in the tire itself but that it was the Valve stem had lost it's seal and was loosing air pressure from there. So they re-mounted the tire and added some bead sealer to the valve stem section and now it holds air again. He said that it was common here in the winter months that new low profile tires have this issue.
But I got it back in the garage just waiting to be put back on the MAX.......man I can't wait till spring time!!!!

I appreciate the compliment Brudaddy!!! I love the setup as well, I went through a ton of magazines and websites before I founf those and they were within the range price wise that I wanted to stay in. I can only complain about the Missouri Weather that we are in at this moment that forced me to have to take them off. We were expecting some snow last night and it just dusted for about 10 minutes and then it was gone.......IF I had known that I would have kept them on until a HEAVY down pour of the white stuff......oh well I can always put them back on until then.......we will see how the weekend pans out weather wise!!!

The 2009 Maxima wheels come in both 18" or 19" form. The offset is +50mm and the width is 8".
I have them on my car and use 25mm spacers.

I like the way the rims look on choice89's Max. They look more conservative. I don't like rims that make the car stand out and look like a pimp mobile like those ugly black ones. Although the the red car with the Chrome rims looks ok. I would like those better if they were 19" instead of the 20".

I appreciate the compliments on my wheels.....that pretty much was my whole goal was to keep the entire car clean! I wanted from the start a split spoke open wheel design with a Machined inset and chrome lip set up. I was so close to going with staggered wheels and have a 2 inch lip up front and a 4 inch lip in the rear. But I wanted to be able to rotate these tires with no issues when it came time to do so and that I would have even tire wear all around. I searched long and hard and finally found those Vossen Wheels in my price range and made it happen...........I can't wait to put them back on after the winter monhts up here in Missouri....it is nice today high of 43 and sunny, but expecting some wet winter weather in the next week.......... But here she is again!!!

Those look pretty sweet! What Color max are you going to put those puppies on??? I assume a Black MAX? I thougth about going with the forged two or three piece rims but the cost was just insane, like you said you paid just above $6K on the wheels which were way out the price range of where I wanted to be for 20"+ rims.........I almost got a set of MOZ three piece custom forged 20" wheels but they were around $5400 smackers, so I searched and searched and finally found the rims on got on my MAX which were the 20"X9 Vossen Machined insert 2" chrome lip rims with Falken tires all together shipped mounted, balanced with TPMS senors installed for $2500 buckaroo's an awesome deal considering the TPMS sensors.
I can't wait to see your ride all hooked up with your new shoes, so get some pictures up here ASAP!!!

Well I almost went with 22"s as well for my max only because it would fill the wheel a little bit better but in the end I did not want to have a much heavier rim setup that would eat up all my gas savings. I was trying to keep the weight as close to stock as possible with a beefier tire and custom clean look. SO that is why I ultimately went with the 20" setup over the 22". I was able to find a setup that was only a half pound heavier over stock not bad in my books!!!
But I am sure your setup is going to look sick when it is all said and done!!!! Hurry and post some pics!!!
