What do you think of my new wheels?

I just bought some new wheels and tires for the car. What does everyone think of them? I've been looking for these wheels for a while and this is the only place I've found them for a reasonable price.

Oh yeah, they throw the speedo off by 2.7% too slow (going 60 on the speedo means im actually doing 58.4MPH). Is there an easy way to adjust this, and then adjust again when I get new tires or should I just leave it?

They look good. I like a nice, clean design. Don't worry about the speedo error. Mine is off by about the same and if you are like me and drive 10 over the linmit, you will really be 8 over, which could save you from a ticket. Just try to forget that it is off and you will thank yourself later- I know that I have!

Check out http://www.speedandstyle.com I spoke with someone named duke through AIM and he gave me a GREAT deal (as if their prices werent low already). Before I bought these wheels in this post I was going to get some through them. 225/45/17 tires with 17" wheels, mounted, balanced, and lugs included for $710 SHIPPED! They can do 18" wheels for 950-1000!! Their prices are great and i found their customer service to be excellent. I would have bought from them today if I didn't find the Pursuits I had been looking for on ebay.

am i right when i see that they come with 215/45's? THose are honda-size tires. I have 225/45's on mine and they are shorter than factory. those 215's might be a good bit different.

ANyway, they are beautiful wheels with a great design that will make a maxima truly shine. IMO, a maxima looks best with a 5 or 6 spoke wheel. I am actually more prone to the 5 spokes, but a six spoke looks nice too.

smart choice on design, 5 and 6 spoke are the only types that normally look good on 4th gen maxima's. Design is neat and simple, no super aggressive garbage, i like.
