Umm...what is these? As far as rims, you basically fit anything with a 4x114.3 bolt pattern. I think the largest rims that will fit is an 18, but you may get some rubbing.

They aren't going to fit...if you read the description, the wheels are for 5x114.3 5 lug bolt pattern, we have 4x114.3 4 lug bolt pattern. You might want to check for that pattern.

And check for the offset the offsets that are safe for our maximas areI believe anywhere from 40-45. Offset is the way the wheel sits from the wheel fender. Is it too far in or sticks out or just right with the fender? These are good Questions to ask your self

Or any of the above in white. I love the contrast of a black car with white rims but some people hate it.

Well the 3rd of 4th ones I would like Have you ever thought about the Tenzo Shu 4s. Ive always wanted the silver ones for my car. I think they are some aggressive rims that would really set a lowered black car off. I remember seeing some gunmetal ones on a black Integra in Nrth Atl when I went to a Big Racing shops car show there. I even have pics but no scanner. Doh!

Anything but Chrome...I don't like the look of chrome wheels...but that's just my preference.

I agree about the chrome look. I personally like to match the finish of the wheel to the look of the wheel on the car. Some wheels look great in white, but no other color, etc...

My favorite, however, is just the clean look of brushed aluminum...not too flashy and bright...

My personal fave for wheels is the classic five-spoke star style wheels, similar to those found on the 91-93 Mustang 5.0's. Wheel size and spoke size depend upon the look of the car they are going on. They look good in the satin or brushed look, gun metal, black or white, depending on the car.

just my 2cents worth.

I go for the brush aluminum finish too. It seems to go with almost any car out there, or the dull alloy finish like my stock wheels has. There are also the wheel that are a dark gray or black color with go well on some cars, but not all.
