What do you think

ive been throwning the idea around of buying a 93 maxima due to my 87 max is not running anymore. But my question was, i found these wheels i really like and if i were to buy this 93 maxima ive been looking at i would get these rims for it, but i was wondering about size, what size looks better 18" or 17" wheels on 3rd gen maximas. also heres the wheel ive been looking at its Moda R6, what do you think about the looks of this wheel, anyone on here running these wheels on there maxima

Rims look nice, and would look nice on a max. I think there are a few maxes with similer rims, if not the same. And I would go with 18". I have 18"s and its a very good look! But watch those curbs, they scratchem' bad!!

they do look good on a max. Check sig and page.

I have 17s but the thing about this wheel is because of the design they look larger than they are. Mine almost look like 18s and someone else on here has them in 18s and thy look huge on the car.

They are a nice wheel but HEAVY.

Remember when I was so dead-set on getting these wheels Michael? I still like the way they look, but they really only look right if you're going to run lowering springs of some kind. The reason why the R6's look larger than they are is because the outer rim is very thin and angled inwards. Other wheels like the 17" 5th Gen wheels has a relatively large rim, so they don't look as large and the wheel gap is less noticable because of less "dead" space in the wheel.
