They will look better than the honeycombs, that's for sure. Are you certain that they fit?

What's the tire size on those 300 rims? My Dad used to have a 300M, and I recall the tires having a much taller sidewall than the maxima, which would throw your speedo and odometer off.

I agree it wouldn't be the greatest look, but if anything you can sell them and maybe make a bit of profit.

IMO i hate them. They look like they belong to an escalade or something of that type. Profit idea is a good one like everyone else is saying.

heres quick 2 minute thing kinda messed up on the front rim a bit..
if you post a higher resolution pic of ur car and a better angle (if possible) of the rim i can do a more realistic chop for u so u can see how it looks...heres some ive done already....http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=461367
If you want somehting liek that i need higher resolution

i say get um..even if they dont look good..u can always sell for more $$ like almost everybody is saying

First make sure they fit. Then buy them if they do fit. Try them on the car and if you don't like them take em' off and sell them on ebay for more $

The closest tire size in a 17" would be a P215/50R17. Only 2-3 revolutions per mile difference.

I don't like them. They make the car look Matchbox. Personnally I wouldn't buy them even to sell them. Who has time for all that?

I agree with buyin them and sellin them. If you want rims get a drop first. No set of rims, in any size, will look good on a maxima without a drop.

they look better than what you have but if you are going to get some wheels, save up some more money and get better looking ones.
for $200 you can get better looking ones than that. good luck.

+1 on the buying and selling, don't even put em on. They look like crap at first glance, and not much better at second.

I just picked up some 300zx rims and 2 brand new tires for $150 (picked up, amazing deal). Buy that ish and sell it, get some other used OEM rims. I personally really like the 300zxs, but I think it's a bit of an acquired taste.

Any idea how much SE rims (97 - 99) would be from a dealer? I've been thinking about getting them for my car.
