Hubcaps - anyone with pic's?

Anyone have pic's of Max w/ wheel covers? I'm curious to see what different styles look like on my 98, or any 95-99. I like them because I can change them once in a while to freshen the car, as opposed to wheels which are more or less permanent.

HAHAAH!!! haaghaha! ahah. ha. huaaaaaaa. My friends got a corolla with hubcaps and he just go "CHROMES". just let me tell you this, his car just looks more like a POS. GET rims! Find some for cheap, look at the for sale forum here! They have a lot of good deals, maybe you could find 500 dollars with tires, or you could buy my konig monsoons for 600 with tires 90 percent tread.

Are you freaking kidding me??? Hubcaps look like h#ll on any car. They look especially sh!tty on a Maxima. I saw a Maxima with those "chrome" hubcaps and chrome fender trim. I almost puked. Then I realized that only ghetto Maximas have that **** on them. Don't do it. If I ever see someone on here with hubcaps, I think I might sell my max

I have hubcaps.

I like them fine.

I put 97-99 style GXE hubcaps on my 95. They look much better than the caps that came on the 95-96 GXEs.

That's my suggestion to you, they look really good. Well, atleast a lot better than the '95-'96 ones!

yea, but from what you said it looked like you said they were 95-96 hubs, which are actually the saw blade ones..

Why - because of the Eibachs?

Only thing I see wrong with that pic is the seemingly mis-matched fender. Otherwise the paint looks in really good condition.

Plain Janes UNITE, BABY!!!

My max is pretty much like the photo. I really don't like the color (granite pearl), just looking for an excuse to paint it superblack and move the rims off my Z.... Until I get some other upgrades done to improve handling, the rims don't make any diff. Right now I'm into performance, not looks...

Ugh. When I had my 97 I used the steel wheels for racing and winter.

I thought they looked better with no hubcaps at all!

You're kidding me!

Granite pearl is the second best Maxima color ever. 1st place goes to Neptune Blue.

I like how the Granite pearl looks black at night or on cloudy days, but in the sun it comes alive with tasty eggplant-like hues...and it's sparkly..

My car is getting repainted the original Granite Pearl soon

The whole thing? That bad eh? I want mine repainted Ruby Pearl but the way I want it I won't have the money for years. 4 coats paint / 2 blue pearl / 2 clearcoat / all panels and jambs / top half of bay. I think that's gonna run me around $2500.
