03 Wheels on 3rd GEN
I am pretty sure these wheels will fit our cars, but I just wanna make sure..They are from an 03 SE and are Titanium (supposedly).. Does anyone have them on their max, and do they rub at ALL???? And will they be ok with GR-2's and Eibach Prokit (1.2" drop)???
And if I have to get spacers for some reason, do they affect performance in any way??? I'm also thinkin about the BBK to go with these wheels???
What do u guys think about them???
or these ones, but I dont know what kind year max these are from:
What is your opinion???? Any other max rims, you think will look better on my White GXE with Eibachs???

5th gen SE wheels tacky on the 3rd gen? hmmm. you need to take your head out of your ****, me thinks. tacky would be 19" chromies with spinners.
yes, the 5th gen's will fit in most cases perfectly. i have seen it done a few times. looks great. lower the car, though.

i personally like those 01+ 5 spokes, they have like, thin spokes, i dunno what year or trim level they came on, but they are a 17" 5 spoke from an 01+ maxima....i think they look pretty bad ***, whenever i can gather up some cash i plan to buy a set

The rims are not titanium - that's just marketing speak for the tint in the paint on the wheels. They're just plain OEM cast aluminum.
Personally, I look the look of the '03 SE wheel on our 3rd Gens - especially on a black car!
Any idea on the weight of each wheel tho?

Look at my sig. I know these are the ones that you are talking about but they are not 17" they only came in 16". I personally like how 5 spoke rims look on any car. But on a lowered 3rd gen they look really good.
As for the 17" SE wheels they look nice. I have seen them on the same color gen has mine and they looked decent but to each their own.

Daaayyyyymmmmm. That is close to how I want my SE to look. Let me ask you, is that a repaint? If so, did you have it done at a real body shop or at Maaco or some other “inexpensive” shop? I see you also had the mirrors repainted also. Nice.

yes stock paintjob, its got its little chips/fades here and there but overall still good for 12 yrs oldthe tint, its this film called llumar. it appears darker probably because it was cloudy out and the black interior.. its wierd, at certain light/angles it looks like i have no tint and other times i have painted black windows

I would like to disagree with #5....my stock paint job was terrible, and is still terrible. Yellow spots, and random spots and ingrained gunk. (i wish i had this car since it was new, maybe i could've taken care of it) Anyway, go with the SE rims, the GLE rims are ghey.
