Rims

I'm looking for new rims for my baby, i want white rims that fit the '93 size and bolt pattern, but i dont wanna pay too much (cos i'll have to pay through my *** for shipping to aus anyway), anyone know either
a) the correct stock sizing of the wheel and the matching bolt pattern
or b) a good place for wheels befitting my description.

both items are highly desirable,
thanks.

The only stock white wheel that will fit our cars that I know of is off an Acura Integra Type-R (I think you guys have the Honda wheels like this, too).

JDM Type R rims

The bolt pattern for the Max is 5x114.3 (also called 5x4.5).

Generally, you want an offset between 35mm and 45mm.

I don't know what other cars have the same rims in Australia. Here, the Mitsu Eclipse is probably the most common tuner car to share bolt patterns with the Maxima. Acura RSX, newer Honda Accords, Camry, all are FWD drive cars that share the same pattern.

Your best bet is probably going to be to look through your local newspapapers or online ads for someone with wheels you like. Otherwise, save up your money and buy new ones from a shop.

Or you can get Motegi's if it comes down to it.

I got a set of 15" MR7s', gunmetal, with spacers, and lugs for $450 They say the paint comes off after awhile. But I haven't had that happen to me and I've had mine for 2 years now

Keep in mind he is in Australia. I have no idea what brands of custom rims they have there. He only mentioned that he wanted white rims and not that expensive, which means you can pretty much rule out shipping them from the US, unless he gets them for free.

the thing is, we can get pretty much anything you can minus wheels for dodges and chevys. we can (on the upside) get far more japanese wheels like buddy club and advan because of our trade/import agreement with the japanese.

i think the newly signed australian/american free trade agreement will also improve the relationship for personal importing of stuff like this.

thanks for the replies, but one more question, youve told me that the bolt pattern is 5x4.5, but what is the size of the rim?
