Here is a pic of my car

with rims like Cardana( carson's) cropped on. What do you guys think?


This picture is before some of the mods I did to my car. It was the closest I could use to match some of Carsons pics. I honestly like them

It took me about 30 minutes getting that picture the way it is. I couldnt adjust the rear rim to look more straight because I dont have photoshop. I cropped it all. And even with the cropping tools I had in that program it didnt have one to adjust that. Im loving it. Im going to work on some more pics of different views sometime tonight to get different looks. The fake rivets dont bother me, but since it isnt real I think I did a fine job.

While the rims look great, I'm not sure about the polished finish....maybe a more alloy finish would match better? Maybe it's just how the light is reflecting on the rims seems different from the car.....but that's probably a photochop issue. Either way, I think it will look good.

That looks good! Even though I'm a fan of the old school. Here's what your car would look like on my rims:

Its the picture. Its an old pic plus it was scanned so it wasnt the best lighting. Plus the time of day. I couldve done better. I like it with Wylie's rims too.

Yup, on only on the 2nd gen's I believe. Not sure about the first gens. It was an option for all models. Mine that you see is a rare two tone only available on the 1988 Nissan maximas. Ive seen many others though. Ive only seen about 5 including mine driving around. One is 30 minutes in another town the other 3 were when I lived in Atlanta.

Yeah, my 84 Silver Maxima is a two tone job. It's like a silver and gray metallic finish.

I am not sure I know what you are asking, but I think a second gen will look like most other cars with M3 fenders......not very good, IMO.

A good alternative to UPS is DHL. They are pretty fast whenever I have used them
