Do you guys think the G2 altezza CF/gunmetal will look good on a beige maxima? ANd also gunmetal motegi mr7. I personally think those two together will look pretty good but i never seen a beige maxima with neither gunmetal altezza nor rims. I just wanted some peoples personal opinion on my idea. THanks!

nothing looks better on a beige car than red/clears...screw altezza's, they honestly look bad IMO and if they were to look descent on any car, it would have to be a sports color, like black, blue or something...not beige....

altezzas don't look good on beige cars, but gunmetal rims would look sweet!

man, there are a lot of altezza haters out there. I was too until i saw the gen2 cf/gunmetal altezzas. I think they look pretty sweet after I saw that dude with a white maxima with it. You guyz dont think those new aletezza dont look pretty sweet? Oh yeah by the way, I just ordered Motegi MR7 Gunmetal 17 inch with Kumho 711 tires. Hope that will match my car. What size do you guyz get for the 17s usually for a sweet lo pro look?

hmm. I think they would look sweet. I ave been wanting to buy them but I wanna see how they look. Since my rear window is all dark I think they would look cool on my beige Max. If you buy them please take some pics and post them.

for sure. I just got my car tinted today. Dark in the back and the backsides and medium in the front. With that and my gunmetal rims and gunmetal altezzas, i think it wouldlook pretty sweet. I will post pics as soon as i get the whole set for the beige maximas out there. oh yeah by the way, people with beige maximas, why did you get a beige maxima? I got a beige maxima because i had no choice since it was such ...

I think that gunmetal rims on beige Maximas look good. But I have to agree with Meccanoble, red clear is the best for pebble beige Maximas.

Same reason!. The beige is not really my favorite color but it was the best Maxima i could find at a decent price on Autotrader. I will get a good perl white paint job soon. But I still love my beige Max

I know that people hate altezzas, but look at the new SE tails on 5th gens...not much different than CF altezzas. Noone hates on thiose.

As to the rims, I have posted several times about gunmetal rims on PB. I thinkit will look great. I just bought MR7s in GM fro my wife, and those rims look SWEET, even in the 15" size we ran on her cavalier. I have a PB max, and I just bought new Mille Migila MM-11 rims (silver), but I REALLY thought about havign them painted to a gunmetal color. In the end, $ inhibited it, but maybe down the road...

To sum it up, I think it will look great. Not that I want you to look just like what I am doing, but have you thought about doing a gunmetal pinstripe? Mine is gold, but I am about to re-stripe it in grey metallic/gunmetal, and I am repainting the "M A X I M A" on the trunk and the front hamburger in gunmetal (no rear burger). Just a thought.

Get some pics up. Those rims will be SWEET!

I don't give a s@%* what anybody says. I have alteeza's on my beige max and they look good, the ONLY reason why I have a problem with them is because of their poor quality (they leak a little). I will keep them on until Custom Maxima comes out with red/clears. Everybody who doesn't like them can go to hell and my a$$
