Just put on new 18" rims
Hey guys,
I just put SSR Integrals on my Max, and gave her a nice wash and wax with the nice weather we had today. Just thought I'd share my enthusiasm with ya.

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the comments, I really appreciate it. I have thought about clear corners, but I personally think they look a little strange on a white car. The orange color of my stock corners is much darker and looks better than in the picture (the flash on my camera made it look lighter). The ride is great -- I feel glued to the ground, although with the terrible roads / potholes here in Mass, it got more harsh. I can live with that though. I think I am gonna paint my calipers, but I haven't decided on a color. I am leaning towards silver or blue, but black and red are options also. If only she were a 5-speed....

Only 16 more till I get to 20 questions!
Looks great man

D-Sta: can you send me a pic of your max with the clears? I actually haven't seen a superwhite Max with clears, at least not that I recall.

I'm getting new front rotors next week, so I may have to hold off on painting them (won't be able to tell where the pad doesn't touch till they are broken in. I do have a wire brush bit for my drill -- I'm gonna use that to clean off the calipers before I paint them.

18x8, I have no spacers in the front, and 6mm spacers in the back. I got just over 8 revolutions of the lug nut (which is enough according to the wheel shop I bought the spacers from). I may move up to 10mm spacers and longer wheel studs if my mechanic thinks its a problem (I'm going to get my brakes done on friday). Offset is +45, so 10mm spacers would be perfect. Tires are 235/40/18.

Ok here goes,
D-Sta - the tires on my stock rims are Potenza 950's Amazing tire, but cost prohibitive in 18" size.
Chris91SE - Thanks for the pic, I couldn't find a good side view of a superwhite with the clears....I am contemplating it for now, but need to chill on the spending for at least a week.
Crazy4maxima - thanks for the link.
Keep the praise / advice coming
