Just curious....How many of you guys out there still run with the original 15" wheels that came with the Max, & how many of you have updated to bigger wheels. I am debating as to update the wheels next, or to leave the stock look, I have original 15" wheels right now, might update to bigger ones, however I kinda like the stock appearance....

 

I run the 15" Stock GXE rims. I'm not crazy about them and the clearcoat is chipping off so they don't look very good up close. I want 16" 4th Gen Rims, or possibly a clean looking 17". But I'll most likely do that when I get my 1.2" Eibach Springs.

this is the 97-99 16" rims with eibach 1.2 inch drops

 

Yess, I like that look a lot for some reason. Still looks kind of stock IMO, but cleaner.

trust me they are nice but i dont like how much wiggle the tires have i rather get 17's or maybe 18's with a smaller tire wall for less tire play

 

These are 16" wheels from a mitsubishi eclipse,with a sprint spring 2" drop..

 

Eibach/Koni w/17" 2K3 Maxima SE Rims

 

arent those springs to low and give u a poor ride ive heard dat from a few that the sprints give a nice lowered look but at the same time give not such a great ride

 

yum getting these in 17" by 8"
and i love how they kinda look like these pure secks

 

18x9 nissan skyline R 34 rims now those are sick

 

I also like the 4th Gen SE 16" rims, however I can't find them around, I also like the 17" 5 Gen SE Rims, particularly the ones from the 2000-01 Maxes, however can't find those yet either.....I am currently running stock GXE Rims on my 94......they are a PITA to keep clean!!!

 

Hey, to the dude with the 2K3 SE Rims, how does she ride with those rims??? Has the handling improved any???

 

I've got 2K SE rims on. Next summer I'll look for some copper colored ones like the NISMO rims, but I want to stick with 16's. Here's pics.

 

You should talk to Matt93SE or Jeff92SE about various rim sizes.

I had a couple of different sets of 17s, but sold them (ones in my sig pic). I like those the best of the ones I have had. I have also run 15s and 16s.

 

Here are some pics of my car with various wheels:


17" Centerlines:



stock wheels (stock height)



16" 97 SE wheels (eibachs)

 

wow... I like the look of the 5th gen SE rims WAY better than 4th. Those are 16" correct? And What Suspension/ Springs do you have?

I still roll on stock wheels.
which I will continue to do until I get some 10lb or less wheels

 

Stock wheels/height here!

 

I'm still running my original 15s. I don't see much of a reason to switch right now- I like my rims well enough and buying new rims means new tires, springs, and shocks too- I don't want it to look like it's on stilts. Maybe when my current tires wear out I'll think about it again.

 

once i get some 17's or 18's ill sell my 97 se rims for those looking towards buying them in the future

 

haha. i stole those from my parents 2k for the summer. over all great look. wrong offset (some slight rubbing but after taking them off for the winter, nothing was wrong) you DEFFINATELY notice a difference in accel, much much slower. these wheels are beasts. but since theyre on falken rubber the cornering was improved.

would i reccomend them? no. impractical.

 

I run stock on both cars. I though I like GXE's stock wheels better than the SE's.

For those that changed them...
WHY?????

They don't look right. It is like the Statue of Liberty being painted bright orange. Yeah it is easier to see, but the look is harsh.

 

The nice thing about Nissans 91-94 rims, is that they were polished and clear coated and seem to look fairly modern. Did the Chevy Corvette steal it's rim design from the Nissan Z or Maxima SE? I've always wondered that.
Nice pics of those black and red SEs! I also like those 16inch 2000 Maxima SE rims-look pretty stock. My 94 GXE had the stock rims, unfortunately the clear coat was dissolving, and they weren't looking that great.

 

Good tires on polished SE stockers on a dark (cough black) maxipad = teh hotness.

 

Its Koni/Eibach on 16's. Its all in my sig, but half the time it doesn't show. I've always thought the 5th gen rims are nicer than the 4th.

These are next:

 

I went through a few different styles

 

Those for sale? I guess there's a good reason for no "on the car" shot.

 

yeah bro those where ones i found for sale on ebay from a guy in canada but ur looking at 2400 dollars for all four with tires i beleave the offset on the r34 rims are either 35 mm or 40 mm not exactly sure but if im not mistaken if they are 40 mm they should fit with little or no rub

 

I know of a set fairly near me. He wouldn't sell them. From what I remember it's a no go on a maxima. Maybe on a 5-6th gen.

 

darn well where theres a will theres a way and i will find a way to fit them on the 3rd gens

 

The 91-94 rims have a machined finish. That's what I still have on my '92 and I like them for that reason. The finish contrasts very well on a black car.

 

Still have stock till I could afford something nicer.. Definatly goin for 17s..

Because cars, especially these, aren't anything like the statue of liberty and the stock rims make the car look old..

The right set of wheels can really improve the look of any car.

 

I run stock 92 SE rims and have to admit I like them. Mine are sanded, polished and re-clear coated. Mind you... some of you guys have awesome looking custom rims....

 

Seems like everyone likes these. Honestly I prefer to stick with original nissan rims and similar size. 97-99 16" SE I like, 2002-03 17" SE/GXE, 2004+ 17" and 18" is what I would go for. Hell even 4th gen 15" sawblades look good on 3rd gen

 

I, like many others in this thread, would really like to see some 4th gen SE 16s on my car, but I'm not going to start seriously looking again for a little while as it is now wintertime and my tires all have quite a bit of life left in them.

 

Nice pics ColombianMax, awesome Chicago skyline...

Thanks dude, I got more if you wanna see some more

 

Hey mine is a 1990, so why do I have polished rims then? I'm confused...are my coated or not? (I've been using multi-purpose cleaner because I had no idea).

 

Colombian Max, what size tires are you running on those 4th Gen SE Rims?
They look awesome!

 

Stock 4th gen size which is 215/55/16 and the reason they look awesome is because they're GoodYear Assurance TripleTred...dude they're so sweet in the snow and even better in rain and dry!
