My friend gave me 3 of these rims for free so i figured it would be a great deal to stick them on my car ( you know as another selling point. Im not to crazy about them)but i tried the rim places by my house and no luck. by the way its 16" because its the same size as my stock rims which i belive are 16" too.
(in case your wondering why he gave me three he cracked the other one beyond repair)

I've actually seen those rims on a white Maxima in Florida, and it was pretty sweet...
Ya they are Niche wheels, if they are not discontinued you should try and buy one!

"Stock" size on a Max are 15". Find out for sure what size your Niche wheels are. In the meantime I will call and get the price on both 15" and 16" wheels if they have them in stock. Let me know what city and town you live in and what price Niche gives you if you called, I might be able to do a little better, we'll see.

I called, they do not make that wheel anymore. That is why I don't have a listing for it. I have a number you can call in California that MIGHT have one: Pro Tire(562)404-8558 and ask for Rudy. Hope this helps, but I think maybe this is why your friend gave the wheels to you!

I had those wheels on my 1993. They looked alright but they made the car ride like crap.. They are very very heavy , so heavy that I couldn't take them anymore. Then again I live in Jersey and the roads suck. Good luck finding them though!!!

"beyond repair" is always relative

You might pick up the wheel from your friend anyway, snap some digipics and send them to a wheel repair place and see what they say. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Also, these rims might pop up on (or be worth selling on) ebay, to fund a new set of rims.

yeah, if you dont like those rims i definitly would say try to sell them. they probably wouldnt look that great on our maxs, but ive seen them on other rides and they look pretty tight. those rims arent cheep either so you could probably get some dough for them. plus there niche, which is pretty popular with the lowrider street scene, so they got a good chance of sellin.

well

heres what i decided. I held it up to my rims and i tlooked the same. i measured it and t was 17" held it up to my friends 17" rims and it was smaller. so im guessing its a 16" =$300. so two of the rims have a little daqmage 1 has scratches (*not to bad around the edge) one has pit marks but when i polish them up they will look pretty decent. they came off a 95 acura legend and looked tight. however they are heavy. So heres what i was thinking buy the 4th rim(unless i can get money for them that i think is worth it)and stick them on the max i have and charge a few extra bucks. Im gonna sell probably some time in mid summer so ill ride around with them a while. then when i get the new max(94 se 5spd) im gonna buy some racing rims. My car is already kinda slow so whats the big deal. Those rims are flashy and they might not be the best looking but like i said before @ $300 per rim 3 for free = :}
ps i found a few places still selling them
