What I want to do is get some new rims.
I don't know if someone has done this before but I want to put one set of rims on one side and a completly different set on the other side.
I mean you can only see one side at a time.

I plan to get at least the same width on both side. But do you think the weight of the different rims will matter. Say there is a 2lb difference between the left and right side wheels,how much will that effect the ride. In a way I don't think it will make a big difference if the weights are close.

I don't know for sure,so has anyone had any experience with this?
Just want some opinions on what will work and what wouldn't.

Got at least one side down...........

 

um....ok itl be kinda "pimp my ride" isn...good luck tho

 

i've seen some ppl do it before and it doesn't look right.

 

I really don't think that should be considered "pimp" or "ghetto" or whatever.
I mean look at my sig. What if on the other side of my car I had the rims in my first post. The rims can't "clash" or look stupid together b/c you can only see one side at atime.
I think it's a good idea

 

Only one question............Why?

 

i think its funny and stupid..just my 2 cents!

why would you want different rims!

 

thats like if i'm missing an ear. you'd have to see both sides to realize i'm gimp.
and i think the weight is actually a big issue. I read on one of the "shop talk" things on this site that 1 pound of a wheel can roughly be calculated to 8 pounds of the vehicles curb weight. so if its 2 pounds a wheel, you could be putting 32 pounds on one side of your car.
this is just going by what i read in that article.
plus those rims look ugly.
you dont got nothin else to spend your money on?

 

I just thought it might be a different idea. And, like I said,you only see one side at a time. The only problem I have now is that I haven't found another set that I would like,yet. But,the more I think about it the less I want to do it though b/c of trying to match two sets of rims.

With all the backlash I guess I won't do it or if I do I won't tell anyone on here. HAHA.

 

well, if you were on the street and i noticed that you had 2 different set of rims. i would probably think that you were probably too cheap to buy a set of four and only managed to buy 2 sets of 2 different wheels from someone that had just messed up the other 2 wheels he had......at this rate, you might as well as paint your car two different colors as well

 

I've seen it with cars for front and rear but those were in a track event, nothing planned to be on the street. If you like it you can do it you dont have to obey the general census on wheather you should or shouldnt.

SO to answer the title of you thread, yes you could do it, but I'd advise against it.

 

i did wanna do that but then realized how much a pain where the sun dont shine it would to find two sets that complement each other and also size and weight like previously said

 

go ahead, whos gonna stoppin ya? but i agree w/ some w/ not doin it despite it bein diff and
"a great idea" i just think it would look kinda retarded

clean on one side, bling a ding ding on the other

 

umm. why not just get 4 COMPLETELY different rims.

 

wtf?? seriously?? i would understand the fronts being different from the rears!!wutever floats ur boat

 

I'm sure u wont feel the difference going at 15 mph but when u hit higher speeds odds are u'll start feeling the difference

 

oh i weep for the future

 

Paint each side of the car a different color and it will be like owning 2 different cars at once.

 

Also add half of a body kit and spoiler, so one side will be riced the other stock! You can also throw Tezzas on the side with the kit and red/clears on the side without! Wow, this is a great idea!

 

.... if you think its kool... do it.. i would be a bit uneasy if it were my car.. .but hey ... if you like it.. its YOUR CAR..

 

I get the idea,everybody hates it. I'm going home!
Seriously though. I wanted opinions, I got them, so thank you.

 

hahahahha WOW...

 

Instead of just bashing your idea, I'm going to say that your car is very clean as is. You have very sought after rims on your car, the ones that questionably look THE best on the 4th gen. maxima. Why change? Look into a little performance with that money, and I'm sure you'd be pleased.

 

unfortunatley, i have seen a max owner do something similar.. the trunk had circle altezzas and the sides were stock with orange blinkers. i almost puked

 

u lost a lot of cool points for sayin that

 

It was obviously a thing noted as sarcasm, look it up.

 

hahahah, i know!!! i mean really, just j/k

 

wow....i thought he was younger. Your car, your mods, but still dumb idea. IMO

 

it looks to me like those rims wouldnt work anyway. not the five bolt pattern

 

yeh, just now realized hes 15, i mean 25

i grew out of the rice world long ago....

 

wtf, probably the worse idea i've heard in a long time.....

 

i want a picture after u do it. it'll be good for a laugh.
