Nice rims. Not my style (I like stock looking) but all that matters if you like them. A drop would improve the look greatly. A drop would improve the look of ANY maxima though.

Question: On your intake midpipe, do you have the hose thats supposed to connect to the breather just cut or is it plugged? I see the breather filter on the case, but I just want to make sure the hose that connected there is plugged up or something. U don't want dirty air going through that.

actually I just found a big screw that plugged right in there. No, it won't get sucked in. I made sure of it. It looks a little weird having a short hose that goes to nothing. I might cut the whole peice off and have my bro reweld the midpipe.

As for the rims, everyone's in title to their opinion, but I assure you they look much better and bigger in real life. My gf thinks they look good and so do I. Anyway, they are 17" Alloy Technology 784s wrapped with Nankang 225/45r-17 tires. I am very pleased with the look of my car but a nice drop would look sweet. H&R springs and AGX should be on there soon. I'll post some pics, but it should look close to Sil SE's photoshop. Thanks for the pic.

Hey, its your money and your opinion. I think they look small, but they look a little toooo small for being 17", maybe the pics. I plan on getting the 2k2 SE rims, so hopefully mine won't be dwarfed like that.
