what's up yall? I'm planning on buying a new set of wheels for my max and i'm not sure what look I'm going for. I'm leaning toward a set of monsoons but I would just like to see what other wheels look like on a 3rd gen max. so if anyone has any pictures of their max with some sweat rims on it would be really helpful. thanx

 

But kinda old school with the gold spokes. Probably not what you young whipper-snappers are looking for these days. Try going onto the Tire Racks web site and looking at their selection. www.tirerack.com. You can pull up an image of your car, in the color you have and select wheels that will put an image of them on the car. I think Discount Tire has a similar feature.

 

Well here are my wheels. They are stock ones I had but I had them repainted white just because I wanted my max to be different....nothin big....but ya know.....

 

does anyone have Enkei wheels on their max? If you do will you send me a pic, I want to see what they look like

what size rims are those? they look nice

 

They are 17x7.5 wit 205/40 Sp9000s
Thanks

 

unfortunately, I don't have any pics, but I am running a pretty nice set up. The Intrax lowering springs for a 1.75" drop and the 98 Max SE wheels. I like it alot.

 

with your wheels being it must hard to keep them clean, is it? my stock wheels get real dirty with brake dust !

 

That's where metalic-composite brake pads come in! Very little brake dust. Must less than conventional asbestos-based pads. Much better stopping power. Longer life and less crap on your wheels.

 

Personally, I really like the gold rims on Maxmizd's car. With that body kit and emerald color, it really looks like a touring car.

I think yours is one of the best looking ones on here.

BTW - Im hoping I can steal...uhh..buy some 2001 16" or 17" rims.

 

Thanks man! That's nice to hear. I really appreciate that with all the work that's gone into it over the 5 years that I've had it. I got it as a 2-year-old in May of '96. It was turned in from a 2 year lease with 27K on it and bone stock! Fortunately, it was practically still in the wrapper, even under the hood. The dark color is an sob to keep nice since it is a year 'round daily driver, including the PA snow! I have a great detailer that I take it to before a show if the paint is worse than what I can fix myself. Did about 2/3rds of all the work myself, but credit for that shine you see in my sig pix belongs to a guy in Hershey, PA named Kevin Longchamp.
Thanks again.

 

Do you have any more pics of your car? I might actually throw a pic of it on my wallpaper, Im sick of seeing the 2002 Sentra SE-R.

 

I am planning on buying a set of 2k 16" rims, but I dont know whats the best size tire for that rim. I also want to get them at a low price. Any suggestions on tire size and brand to look for. I was interested in the Khumo Ecsta (sp?) but they are horrible in the snow. I want a high performance tire with decent snow traction. I think that I want to get the Yokohama AVS db. They have a decent snow rating and still a good performing tire. What do you guys think? Thanks.

 

I have 16X7.5 Borbet Type E's I like them because they are easy to clean and are fairly light and wide.

 

I love the look of those wheels, are they polished or painted. I know there are a few fellas over here in the northeast that have those wheels. Look nice>

 

Enkeis.. you want Enkeis? here's some Enkeis..

(same thing n my sig file, only bigger.
if you're on a modem, these are 150k each, so be ready to wait a bit.

If you're on a budget, be ready to wait for these wheels- if you can even find 'em. Retail price on them was somewhere in the neighborhood of $400 each, and they're discontinued (like all good things, you can never find any more!)

 

I have more, but they are about a year and a half old. I will soon get some pix on here that were taken at the Carlisle show, as was my current sig pix (that I think was taken by Phil96SE). I can get you links to the older ones if you want them.

 

Sure Ill take a look at the links.

Thanks.

 

Maxmizd27 I like your dress up kit under the hood.Where did you get it.I have been looking and kind find a kit.It looks like it fits the VE very well.

 

That's no kit! It's a Stillen hi-flow intake, a painted valve cover, re-taped ignition wires, a ton of wire loom and flexible stainless steel radiator hoses from Summit Racing. You have to bend and cut the radiator hoses yourself. All done one-by-one and a lot of time! If I get really bored some weekend I'm going to re-plumb my vaccuum hoses with red or blue silicone lines.

 

Eva consider big heavy chrome rims? If so, these are Neeper N-7, 17x7. Heavy, but they look good on the max.

 

Hey, well it looks good.

 

True.....haha

 

I am seriously thinking about the headlight conversion... But that will come after I get my Rims on and my car painted. But its good to look into the future.

 

Here's a link to my album. Several ofthem are duplicates in different sizes.http://albums.photopoint.com/j/Album...newphotos=true.

 

they are pollished

 

I am about to buy a set of Konig Caffeine 17" or Enkei Sportline Shoguns 17". I saw Bucktown's Caffeine's and IMHO, those are the tightest rims I have ever seen. I think his ride is one of the sweetest that I have seen. Period.

 

what size are those enkies? Are you selling them? Let me know.

 

Personally, I like the TGF MX but that rim is discontinued.

 

Im not Matt93GXE but I think they are 16".

 

Hey Matt, are those pics before or after your 15% tint. The windows look completely untinted so I was just wondering.

 

Well, I just bought my 2k1 SE 16" this weekend, so I am just waiting for the skins to come in. I just wish they were polished instead.
