Personally that Maxima looks like a sorry a** Impala recipe for destruction, with the BLING BLING and "No Bang"! No sign of high performance, less effective braking, reduction of suspension life, reduced handling limits, CG out of whack, increased turn radius and increased chance of some other 22" fool stealing your crap!!!!

And my date of joining has WHAT to do with your close-minded taste in vehicles/modifications? Does this go back to 'post count = intelligence or general knowledge'? If so, then I'm just shafted. Damn this not driving the same car all the time lifestyle I wandered into!
And what was the nice try for?
Ignorance is bliss, I hear.

And to come on the attack and have the worst banana joke in the history of banana jokes, says something about your character. that you cant take criticism even when trying to be different.
grow up or GTFO.
and thats how i roll....

naw, i was thinking more like bentleys, rolls royces, mercedes s/cl, bmw 7 series, and hell even the 300/magnum/charger or the 90's chevy b-body platform.
the world's a lot bigger than maximas.
not a huge accomplishment when you're talkin $3-5k cars. any decent set of wheels and quality suspension can put you in that club.
you can't just take what's important to you and apply it to someone else's build. some are all show, some are all performance, the great ones seamlessly blend the line.
---
the key here is execution and personal style should always be accounted for. imo, the wheels look cheap and the maxima is a car that needs to be lowered to it's performance limitations or beyond to really look good, but that's just my opinion. i also know that there's some situations where pulling up in this car would make the best of the high performance maximas on this site oblivious. i'm sure those places are more important to the op than the .org.
everyone should build their car to their tastes. saying you don't like it is fine, but blanket and/or excessively negative statements are uncalled for.

It makes the Maxima look like one of those damned crossovers.
Hilarious though.

Sorry Mike,
When you post pictures on this ORG or any other forum, aren't you asking for approval/praise from others in regard to your particular taste/opinion of a modified Maxima/automobile? You can get praise or laughed at. I thought my response was honest and my opinion! No everyone will not ever think the same or have quite the same taste! But on the positive side I would like to see you and Dracc put some 22",na! 24" na!, hell... some 26" rims on a ZO6 Corvette and post that on their forum and get back some kind, sweet, loving comments or replys! I bet you won't start no new fad over there.....

the hi-rise z06 is an extreme example but i'll run with it. first of all, who would have thought that lifting cars on oversized wheels would be a trend in the first place? well, it is. they are at major car shows (competetive and industry, park your max next to one and see how much attention you get), have media devoted to them, and have a cult following. secondly, post a maxima and a z06 on 26s in the same thread on a vette forum. the chevy might get flamed to hell but about the only thing you're gonna hear about the maxima is "wtf is that even doing here". let's keep the apples seperated from the oranges.
i agree that this maxima isn't my style, but saying that everyone should think the way you should or they're open to be disrespected is non-sense. the only reason anybody would even argue that is just to argue. the "you posted it so i can say whatever i want" excuse is lame. sure you can say whatever you want, but at that point you're reflecting more on yourself than any car ever will. its easy to forget that there are people on the other side of the screen. the conversation would be much different in person. for one, you would know right off the bat that the person didn't care about performance (which should be obvious anyway). not only that but there would (should) be a common level of human decency that would keep you from speaking so loosely, i gaurentee it.

Personally I think any car with rims over 19" looks ridiculously stupid.

brabus rocket - world's fastest street legal sedan. 20"
rolls royce phantom - 21"
c6 zr1 corvette - 19/20"
you sure you feel that way or are you just letting the masses think for you? serious question.

sorry man but someone not liking a style of car is by no means close-minded. If someone likes old school hot rods over donkin out a car...whats that? close-minded. No, its taste in something different.
And to come on the attack and have the worst banana joke in the history of banana jokes, says something about your character. that you cant take criticism even when trying to be different.
grow up or GTFO.
and thats how i roll....

Um.
I made no reference to any banana joke.
So, in closing... comprehension > you.
And there is a nice big fat line between not liking the style, and making an *** out of yourself by attacking it, or mocking. That's almost... ricerish.

You can't comprehend who's typing what, so I don't expect you to understand that, either.

its easy to forget that there are people on the other side of the screen. the conversation would be much different in person. for one, you would know right off the bat that the person didn't care about performance (which should be obvious anyway). not only that but there would (should) be a common level of human decency that would keep you from speaking so loosely, i gaurentee it.
100% how I feel and brilliantly said. Sadly enough, when someone starts a thread, they don't realize how bad they're going to get cut down. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people on here don't tell the .org about some mods due to being afraid of what others are going to say...that is letting them know in a presumptuous manner.

well i can't tell you how to feel or act but i think holding someone else to your expectations is unreasonable. it gives the impression that you think your way is right and everything else is wrong, regardless of circumstances. it's an easy bandwagon to ride on the .org since most members have convinced themselve's that the maxima is a performance vehicle.
the hi-rise z06 is an extreme example but i'll run with it. first of all, who would have thought that lifting cars on oversized wheels would be a trend in the first place? well, it is. they are at major car shows (competetive and industry, park your max next to one and see how much attention you get), have media devoted to them, and have a cult following. secondly, post a maxima and a z06 on 26s in the same thread on a vette forum. the chevy might get flamed to hell but about the only thing you're gonna hear about the maxima is "wtf is that even doing here". let's keep the apples seperated from the oranges.

... and that's why your replies are directed to me or maybe your preference/taste is in that direction of modding
! So if it is, I've been pretty decent and respectful toward all those in "The Big Bad Bling Bling Crowd! I would invite critics to speech of what they don't like or do like on my vehicle.... It's just their view and it doesn't mean a thing, the world isn't gonna stop revolving, nor does it mean I'll support their views....It just as it is now... That's not my style and never will be...I GUARANTEE THAT!P.S Mike (next you wanna try and write a letter, proof read it and check your spelling)

As I stated b4, In My Opinion(IMO), I don't see how I'm trying to sway anyone's thinking or personal preference. The problem actually may be that maybe you modded that car and that's why your replies are directed to me. Or maybe your preference/taste is in that direction of modding ! So if it is, I've been pretty decent and respectful toward all those in "The Big Bad Bling Bling Crowd"! I would invite critics to speak of what they don't like or do like on my vehicle. It's just their view and it doesn't mean a thing. The world isn't gonna stop revolving, nor does it mean I'll support their views. It just as it is now. That's not my style and never will be. I GUARANTEE THAT!

). my replies have nothing to do with personal taste and only concern the respect that should be shown towards other members. obviously this is of no concern to you, as you would rather justify your behavior. it doesn't bother me one bit. i've said my piece and i'm done with it.
i look forward to hearing your critique of my build once it is finally complete. i can only hope it is in person rather than on the internet. maybe we can take that cruise you've been wanting and i can show you my style.

Even for those who don't think they look bad or tacky could at least take into account the safety and functionality factors. When your giant-*** wheel comes off and maims someone or causes an accident because it was put on a hub not made for wheels of nearly that size, or when you're taking thousands of miles off the life of your suspension so you can look bling when you roll with your homies or whatever, then I guess that's your prerogative.

so this thread is stupid 1) 22's don't belong on a max and 2) you tried to make everyone think you were cooler by name dropping some other site. everyone here knows this is the best site ever, so that doesn't work, sorry.
