They look nice if your car is dropped. Everyone and their mothers on the org has them, but it really matters in your local area. I have yet to see another max in my area with the same rims.

The only thing that stinks, IS they don't have those studs on the rims. They are just bare.

I haven't seen any1 around with them either.... 02' and up maxima stock wheels are the preferred choice around here.

It's pronounced "Me-lay Meal-ya". When you have GN and GL in Italian, the G just modifies the N or L a little, you don't pronounce the G (think of the word "lasagna", you don't pronounce the G). The company is named after a famous Italian road race and it means "1000 miles".

The rims aren't light but they aren't particularly heavy. I have 17x8s and they are 22.5 pounds which isn't bad. Everyone one the Org thinks these rims are played out or something, and yes they ARE discontinued as of a year or so ago, but they are popular for a reason: they are dead sexy rims; they never fail to turn heads. Go for them!

I had my rims sold during my part out, but elected to keep the rims and buy brand new tires. Even though I no longer have the bodykit, I still get heads turning.

I wish I knew how to quit you. :brokeback:


Did you first get 16's and realized they were too small?

I actually bought the 16's first because that was all I could afford at the time, plus I drive alot of miles and didn't want to replace more expensive tires. I finally just said fukk it and spent the money.

I agree with Mexmax, bandwagon boat anchors. But if I came across a set for not too much $$ I'd take them. But nothing will ever be better than the SSR antracites that we're stolen off me. man they were light, used to throw and catch them lmao.

Good point...I guess we all just assumed. The OP's question was kind of silly. It's like saying "are Ford V6 cars nice?"

was that directed at me? If it was, the comp antracites in 16" x 8 were a little over $400 each from tirerack, but it doesn't show them anymore in that size. But I payed my friend a little over $200 each, $850 all together.. he gave me a steal.

don't listen to anyone, make up your own mind whether you like them. you won't have the forum with you in the morning when you walk out to the car. the only important thing is that you like them. mille makes good quality products and they should serve you well.

if they were like 100-spoke daytons i would say WTF, but those are nice, quality rims, even if they are somewhat common place on the forum.
