Your feedback on 17" rims for my 95 SE

Hey gang, I'm looking to purchase my first set of rims. I have a 95 Maxima SE with the stock 15" alloys currently on. I'd like to get a set of silver 17" rims at a cheap price. I've narrowed the search down to three and I'd like some feedback on what you guys think, previous experiences with the specific rim or brand in general. Also if you can recommend tires that would complement these rims nicely I'd appreciate it thanks alot.

Enkei CP1:


Exel - Ecko:


Exel - Roel:

What is the width, weight, and price? Not taking those into account, I'd probably go with the Enkei actually. Or the top Exel. I don't necessarily like the 3rd set. Good luck with your decision.

S/n looks familiar...are you on NissanForums?

I'd go with the last rim...but I'm biased towards a similiar design.

The Enkei's! I'm not a fan of fake rivets. That and I have a set of Enkei's myself, I'm biased towards them.

I like set #1 better. I've always been a fan of 5 star rims, 5stars always look good on a max (unless their ugly then they dont)

A similar question about rims. I have a 97 SE, and i want to put agressive rims on, will an 18x9 rim fit, or will i have to go with 18x8.5?
