Blue Maxima + Black Rims
 
I was wondering if anybody who has a blue, dark blue, maxima has put black rims on it? I've always liked black rims but idk how they'll look in person. I've checked out a bunch of sites that mix and match for you but its much different in person.

If anyone has post a pic please

FASHION POLICE! navy blue and black clash.

motocross416 Aug 6, 2006 12:15 PM

This is my brother's max, not black but pretty dark. The dark wheels look fantastic in person

Umm maybe ask someone to photoshop your car and the rims you are looking at. ALso what kind of blue are you talking about. I have a Neptune Blue maxima and it doesn't look close to this blue.

Neo Raven456 Aug 6, 2006 01:03 PM

This is the color blue of my max, a lot darker than the above ones, but I really like the last picture you put up. I think that color is called gun metal a grayish color

For what it's worth, I think it would probably look hot. And since Black is a neutral color, it would not clash with the blue.

Dave H. Aug 6, 2006 02:34 PM

I too think black wheels would look great on your car. Have you searched cardomain.com yet for pictures. There may be some cars on there with black wheels.

dimension45 Aug 6, 2006 02:40 PM

Having black rims would go well with the blue color you have, but i would not get completely black rims. It would be good if there was a little silver maybe on the edge.

dimension45 Aug 6, 2006 02:41 PM

like the ones that motocross had posted on his brothers car

Neo Raven456 Aug 6, 2006 06:27 PM

Yeah me too, moto if you could do you know what kind those are?

I'm looking at these right now:

Each one getting darker because its hard to decide with my color car

SRpowered240 Aug 6, 2006 06:30 PM

I think that it would look really good. My 240 is dark blue with black wheels and i love it. I think the color combination is awesome.

you can use this picture and photoshop the rest if you'd like.

Cdg2125 Aug 6, 2006 06:36 PM

Yea not to disagree with everyone but I just dont like dark wheels and a dark car. I think it's just too much. As :007: as it sounds I think they clash. It just adds to much darkness to the car. To each his own tho.

:edit: Nismotic who's car is that?

Neo Raven456 Aug 6, 2006 06:36 PM

Nismotic I just fell in love with your color combination

what color was your old one? BS3?

gmax96 Aug 6, 2006 10:15 PM

i have onehttp://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a2...y/IM000070.jpg

ethnic6 Aug 6, 2006 11:27 PM

Idk, I've never been too fond of black rims... makes the whole wheel look hollowed out at night and all you see is the brakes which kind of makes it look butt... but its my opinion, I always think you should match a dark color with a brighter one but not too bright, just enough to take notice

konagold808 Aug 7, 2006 11:40 AM

that color is super sweet. i say imo dark blue and dark tires is all good

Neo Raven456 Aug 7, 2006 12:25 PM

Nismotic, what kind of kit do you have on your max?

Nismotic Aug 7, 2006 03:48 PM

Have you tried tirerack? They let you try out the rims on your car and generate a picture of what they look like.

I did but like i said earlier I wanted some input from people who actually have it, and real pictures instead of an automated photoshop deal. They always look different in person and the pictures from members of the org are so much better

90stanza Aug 7, 2006 05:31 PM

I would say get ethier of the last two wheels you posted pics of.

DaGGer Aug 7, 2006 05:46 PM

I think that black wheels could look goo dbut you want something brighter. I mean a black car with black wheels looks good because its a shadow effect but to dark of a blue or to light of a blue and it could look ugly.

gmax96 Aug 7, 2006 10:22 PM

^^^ what size r those rims man? and r those 40 on the sidewall?

KRMaxima21 Aug 9, 2006 04:37 PM


These are ADR Competition 7 rims. They are 17x7 with a 35mm offset and the tires are 215/45/17.

MaximaBoy04 Aug 9, 2006 05:37 PM

If it was me I would say go with those 6 spoke enkei's you posted, I like when the wheels really contrast with the car (ie. black/dark cars with bright white/silver rims, white/light cars with black/dark rims), but I think if you do it right it'll still look great either way. The rosewood color on my Max has me totally torn as to how I go in terms of rim color and smoked or clear lights...

Sounbwoy Aug 9, 2006 06:51 PM

Here's one I took a pic off when I was in ATL earlier this year....

do u think 50 on the side wall would look perfect i mean the wheel to fender gap cuz i have 40 ryt now same size of rims as urs and trying to get either 45 or 50 sidewall. what do u think?

bkmax96 Aug 9, 2006 08:38 PM



that might be one of the tuffest maxes ive ever seen

Neo Raven456 Aug 9, 2006 10:17 PM

I think I will be going with the 6 spoked silver rims, I'm looking at all the blue/black rim combo's and not really feeling it. Thank you all for the input and pictures, the org has yet again helped me make a decision that could have gone terribly and expensively wrong. (Mainly because I love black rims, just not how it looks against blue XD. I even considered repainting the car to get black rims and like it, but I enjoy my magestic blue too much)

craigl33 Aug 9, 2006 10:35 PM

i say nay;;;;;;;;;

nguyen925 Aug 9, 2006 11:27 PM

i would choose gold rims, just because i fell in love with that combination from the previous impreza's (1999's)

gmax96 Aug 9, 2006 11:46 PM

my 5 spoke adr battle wheels kind of similar as urs and its nice to see a car that has the same color and almost the same wheels

I almost bought the Battle Exe's but I found these and fell in love with them. Your rims look good. To the guy who said my car is tuff thanks but I'm not even done with it yet. I actually want 18's oor 19's. Depends on how good they'll look
