Finally rollin on 17's...

I've been searchin high and low for 2k SE rims at a reasonable price or even 4th gen rims to step up from the 15's I had. Couldn't find a reasonably priced stock rim upgrade for my budget... Here's what I got. Whatcha think?

Not bad. I like the simple look of them. Maximas look good on 5-spokes, especially 3rd Gens.

Nice. Can you take some constructive advice? You will note that one of the reasons why the 3-gens look clean is because of the lack of badging. Please take off the GTR emblem to keep that clean look. That's about as nice as I can say it.

Rims look great on that color Max. Good work on matching them up.

What tires (name & size) did you get?

400 bucks for tires holy crap what is this world coming to? How are lower profile tires more expensive than big a$$ tires for the stock 14"/15" rims?

Law of supply and demand.
You want low profile tires and are willing to spend the extra money for them.
The"big ***" tires are stock people generally only change them when needed and won't spend more than is necessary.

I could've had a set for $229 plus ship but I'm glad I didnt order them cause I wanted 225's but they turned out to be too BIG. They're 215/45/17(Federal) Ever hear of them?

Ok, I need to start looking on ebay for those wheels. Hell I'll even put on some old almost worn out Kumho's for that price.

Not technically legal here (at least in illinois) pretty sure same holds true for the rest of the country too.

that's weird. why wouldn't it be legal to take the black seatbelts out of another 3rd gen maxima that has been scrapped and put them in your car?
If that's the case...thank god i live in Canada because i wouldn't want my old beige seatbelts anywhere near my beautiful black leather seats.
