i really want them, and better yet he lives 5 miles away from me.

i think these would look much better than my enkies, your opinion?

Yep, those wheels look SWEET on the 3rd gen. They're one of my all time favorites even including aftermarket wheels. I think they'd look infinitely better than your Enkies

I have a set of them in my backyard waiting to go on my black VE when I can give it some more attention

Don't remember whose car this is, but to give you an idea:



*edit* also, that's a good price considering they've got good tread. He's wrong about the tire size though.. as you obviously can't have 17" tires on an 18" wheel

They would look good. I like the Enkei's too. Why not keep both and change them for the season. O4's in the winter. IMO if you have to go with one go with the 04's. They look a little more agressive. Found a simlar pic for ya. I think they are z rims but really close to what you're looking at.
This is not my car.

Another 5th gen set for your viewing pleasure. These are the 5th gen 17s. This one is my black VE as it sits now (I never bothered to get proper sized tires put on). I'm going to sell these wheels though and slap on the 18s in the backyard.

wow that looks so flush..
im gonna have to get them.
hopefully i can try and get them for around 350

i like the Enkies more, you just need a drop though

really? i just think they look too small.

but i have drop springs coming in the mail soon

2" Front, 2" Rear

Thats Mike's car. Who just recently started showing his face on the org again.

Those Max wheels look good but the enkies black w/chrome lip match your paint better.

I think the newer Maxima tire size is a fair amount too large for our cars.

You should get the wheels, then sell the tires and buy some that fit properly. Some tire stores take tires in trade, but you get hosed pretty good.

I have a set of wheels like James does (2005 Maxima 17s) and the tires were too big for my Maxima. I dismounted them and sold them on CL. I paid $100 for the wheels and tires and sold the tires for $230.

I painted my wheels, but haven't picked up tires for them yet:

i personally like the 97 SE rims better granted there only 16". got a friend who has his friend selling Nissan Skyline GT-R 34 wheels ima pick up.

The 04's look better on the max. The enkies look too small on the car.

+1 on the 97SE wheels

are you sure the enkei's have the right size tires on 'em? because they look way too small. if you had the proper tire size (and a modest drop) they would look fine.
see:

You should consider letting them go for me. I'll pay $400

holy old school! Thats Bryan Tisch's car.. I remember stumbling upon his website back in 2001 and seeing that black 91 SE and thinking wow thats exactly the kind of car im looking for! Not necessarily a VG or VE preference at the time, just wanted any black 3rd gen SE

i got some 09 maxima rims, or some 05's if your interested!

I know, right? such a beautiful example, and in stock form.
site's still up and running.

yeah i think the problem with the Enkies has to be the tires, 17's on a 3rd gen shouldnt look that small

I got them taken off the car yesterday ready to sell. They're yours if you want em

Hm I recall our pm convo. Are you planning on geting rid of the 552s soon? Id eschew the stockers in favor of those

Im soon to be buying some Nissan skyline GT-R 34 rims with tires for $600. happened to get told by a friend that his friend is selling them.

Titanium Edition 5.5th Gen are sexier and stronger than those 2004 18" weaklings....I've seen several of these broken at the spoke and hub (to sharp of an edge in the transition into the hub)....
