Def. the G35's!!!!!!!!!!

You'd have to change the tires on the 03's soon anyway. Several people have both of those rims on their cars. Check the member's rides forum

Hacim105 has the G35's on his car. They look great. His is probably my favorite 95/96 on this site (mainly b/c it kind of looks like mine ):

Definately the G35s they have a bit more of an aftermarket look without being too out there.

G35s, IIRC they weigh close to the stock 17s, but yet are 18x8s, look better (IMO) in terms of spoke design and offset, and they have BBK clearance.

the gs look better but i ended up getting rid of mine for the 02 se alloys due to the offset and sizing.

here are the pics for comparison


as you can see the Gs stick out a lot.








so i put on the 02 SEs and they looked sick







they both weigh 23.5 lbs

Meh I guess I'm the only one so far who thinks the G35's look like crap. Buuut they do have BBK clearance.

I don't think the g35's are attractive at all...I'd go with '03 maxis unless you are planning on a BBK...then I would say G35 19's or M45 19's

+1 on the 03 wheels. The G35 wheels don't look natural, they don't flow w/ the lines of the car.

totally agree... g35s look so clean... the 7 spoke look is awesome... i have 08 max rims, which are pretty much identical to the 18" g35 7 spokes and i love how they look!!!

The 18" Coupe wheels are like 24lbs each I think. Doe the stock 17s actually weigh that much?

But I'd get the G wheels though for the exact reasons you mention. Look tons better and clear bbks w/o spacers. FTW!

yea the stock 17s weigh 23.5 lbs.

pretty fcking heavy



infact thats the sole reason i got rid of them, because of the drop in performance. i loved the way they looked, but my braking, accel and gas mileage were all suffering.

Yeah, the 02-03 stockers are between around there somewhere.

With the crazy amount of clearance under the new rims, I may have to look into one of your/Matt's kits soon....

I agree but you have the 00-01 wheels my friend just so you know.

I have the 02-03 wheels and they look more stock plus they look more powerful if you know what I mean.

Had 2K SE rims on 4th gen but now running with hiro's but want to get a set of G's now as well for 3rd & 4th gen. lol

If you keep the SE rims, I'll take the G's.

But use the G35 rims because everyone has done the SE rims but whateva you like is what you should go with.

Yea I definitly think the Max rims look way better. I'd put the max rims on my 99 before the g35 rims. I never really liked the G35 rims though.

The Altima SE-R rims are kinda cool though so are the M35 if u want a stock kinda look. Not what you asked about but you never know u may find a good price on them.

yesterday i found a guy that wanted my stock rims plus $50 for his 18" 350z rims but he had them on his Toyota pickup and he drilled out the center piece, which kinda concerns me

I vote for the g35's, i have em and love them. How many people have issues keeping the infinity center caps in the back wheels. I think I am going to have to add spacers to the back wheels so the center caps fit.

If you look at the ones on my car they look a lot darker that on rockart's car. It could just be light but
I've noticed that on pictures of different maximas here on the .org. Some people's G35 wheels are dark
like mine and then others are brighter like rockart's.
