Would these 5 spoke wheels look good on our cars? or would a 6 spoke wheel look better? Im having a hard time deciding on wheather to get these in 18"s or not, im afraid they wont look good on the car after i get them.
What do you guys think?

 

I would go with the 5 spokes

 

Just to add, I know most of us think of getting new rims for the looks, but I just wanted you to keep in mind one of the performance aspects http://www.wheelweights.net/ that being the weight of the rim (And weight of the tire, being equally important). A set of heavy rims will make a slow max even slower

 

IMO unless you are going for look only, 17 is as big as you should go on a 3rd gen.

 

5 spoke looks better but personally i dont like those wheels, the spoke is too thin, when your cruisin you cant see the wheel, just the outside lip and the center, go with 18s though

Anyone ever heard of Nippon wheels? Are they any good?

 

I like the wheels but probably not on a max. I have 16 Koings and I love them. You can look on my website at them. http://Maxima.cardomain.com/id/2thamax

Personally, I would go with 17 and you can do a 300z brake conversion but nothing higher then 18s. Then it would just be to big. Just my 2 cents.

 

i dont mean to rag on you but why did you get 16s? i would have just kept the stock wheels on. 18s still look too small, ill be getting 19s this summer, would be gettin 20s if tires didnt cost 300 a peice.

 

Not everyone is made of money, or wants to be that slow.

 

dont you guys hate when a specific question is asked to someone but another person decides to answer it? anyways, im not made of money either, i had to work all summer for my wheels and suspension, and thats why i said next summer, beecause i dont make that much money

 

Yeah, I hate that.

 

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I can speak for myself. I got 16s because I still wanted the stock ride height. Then I lowered the car. I will be switching rims in the spring to 17 or 18 inch ADR GTSports(white).

Are you trying to build a lowrider? Cause that is what 19s and bigger are for or SUVs. I will put 20s on my trunks but 20s on a car are Fugly!!!

 

I got 16"s about 5 years ago when 17"s were as expensive as 18" and 19"s are now. But I decided to go with 17"s instead of 18"s because i didnt want to spend the extra $150 - $200 for them (im a cheap bastard ) But i did order some wheels this afternoon. I ordered the G Racing Mito wheels in 17x7. I ordered them from www.wheelsboutique.com. Here is a pic of them.

 

you bought 16s because you wanted stock ride height? that makes no sense. are you trying to say that custom mercedes and bentleys are lowriders? because really those are the only cars that will fit 21s and 22s with no problem. im trying to make the most non riced out, clean maxima with big wheels, **** intakes and exhausts that sound like go carts.

 

i think those rims will look real sweet on the max. good choice. post pics when you get everything settled.

 

Yeah I bumped up the rim size and decreases my tire size that is how you keep your stock ride height.

 

hrmm not to be a party pooper.. but I was watching Cribs a while ago (God save me) and J.D. said that in order to fit 22's on his Bentley he had to get custom wheelwell work done. Just hearsay, though...

 

2 tha max, no **** you increace wheel size and decreace tire size to maintain stock circumference. yeah your probably right about the custom wheel well, but the point i was trying to make is that in order for a car to have big wheels it doesnt have to be classified as a lowrider.

 

i'd go with the 5 spoke in an 18. good luck with them.

 

each to his own.

i chose 16's on my car for the performance and comfort. the 16's cushion the ride, altho they are a bit heavy since they're from a 99 SE-L. with 17's and higher, the ride will get bumpier since they send all road bumps back to the cabin. and car will be slower.

I plan on autocrossing the car and will get another set of 16's just for the track.

 

I currently have 16"s, they are just to small for my likings thats why i went with 17"s.
