Bottom line: The rims look ok, but since the overall look of the car looks like of that of a 4runner, it takes away from how the murano rims REALLY look.

If he doesnt want to lower it, its fine and dandy. But IMHO-thats what i believe.

And he may not care on how heavy his rims are, but in the long run, it will only put more stress on the tranny along w/other components of his car.

Wht98SE:7Eyes, where exactly is Kentwood & how far is it from Detroit?

It's just outside of Grand Rapids. Approx. 150 miles from Detroit.

I personally don't care if I loose .3 seconds off a 1/4 mile. Unless he's making money off street racing, the other upgrades are well worth it.

we heard you the first time no need to double post

and what would you consider performance? would it perform as good with 60 lbs wheels on the car?

i was wondering what my car would look like with these wheels so i snagged them (sorry DigitalTexan2u ) and quickly slapped them on a pic of my car to give me an idea. They're not bad.

Those look really good, it would be nice to see them on a lowered Max, interesting I didn't think they would fit as they are 5x4.5 and Max wheels are 5x114.3 but seeing is believing.

Lookin' good

Looks nice. I like the fat spokes on there, a nice contrast to the skinny-spoked rims that are all over the place. A little beef to them!

And the gap is no big deal. It's certainly less than the stocker 16" rims with some 225/50/16's on there. Jebus I could probably fit a football between my fender & tire! And thanks to our Wisconsin winters, lowering really isn't an option for me. No love for the gap haters.

Ciao,
TOM

maxRB8,

5 x 4.5 is the same thing as 5 x 114.3

wasnt gonna mention it but since you seem to take offense and act like a pole smoker...the gap looks like ***...you are using a bulls-it excuse...but coilovers...and btw i had an integra lowered 2 inches as well...its a much better ride in the max
