I just rode without the hubs... you know the ultimate ricer style. But now I have Racing Harts so it's all good.

Deciding on replacing mine

I still have my OE 95 GLE wheels on my Max. The more I see them the more I like them.
I really hated them at 1st. I just cant decide on what to get when I HAVE TO replace the tires and this is coming up fast. Prob late fall early winter.

I am down to two styles I like best, hard choice, big investment.

Moda R6


Mille Miglia EVO5



I think the cleaner look of the Moda R6 is winning me over and the finish is brighter, more chrome like, I like that to go along with the chrome on the GLE door handles and window surrounds. And the price is very similar $199 vs $189 each for 17's.

Check my page for Evos

That's what 18" Evos look like on a BlaXXXima. Sorry, no drop yet... but you can see what they look like.

I think there is a guy on here with Moda R6s on a red Max. Looks realllll nice as well.

Up to you, but good luck with the choice. I love my Evos.

i too have honeycomb rims. i often complain about them and say i'm not a fan, but they really aren't too horrible and are better than having hubs. sometimes they look nice but i'd really like to upgrade....but poor old college kids can't afford rims when they have other things to tend to first. hopefully i can do something about these one of these days but...what are ya gonna do.

I would rather have pepboys hubcaps than those honeycombs....they are the ugliest things nissan has ever put on a car! The i30 wheels aren't great, but they do look better than those cheesy honeycombs!

Hey, we could do a poll!

Just say the word and I'll trade ya my stock 96 GXE wheels (the fugly black things) and 10-spoke wheelcovers. It's all relative, I would be happy to upgrade to OEM SE or GLE rims if I had the money . . . and so many people are complaining about those!

Aren't those honeycomb rims like really lightweight? Other than the performance aspect they are pretty fugly... I want to get some rims also, but i'd much rather spend my $$$ on intake/y-pipe first...

recently i've grown to like the Moda R6s. The Millie Miglias are hot too but the R6s are such a plain design, yet giving you some aftermarket look at the same time. I'd go for those and one day i will

i have the honeycombs. i hated them at first, and to this day i would still like to get new ones but they are rather expensive and i would rather buy some performance stuff for my car instead. honeycombs definatly make your car look like a sleeper and they are very light weight. but the first chance (or good price i get) they are gone
