is it me or are all aftermarket wheels fugly
i can not seem to find decent wheels i can put one my max. I am not the kind who likes extravagent wheels or big ones for that matter. All wheels i have come across are just plain ugly, i rather keep my hubcaps and put fake paper brakes in them(just kiddin). Most wheels out there are much too thin and i feel reveal too much. I was looking at some borbet type e's but after seeing some pics i am not as pleased. i think i might just get 2000-02 max wheels or altima(if they fit) Srry just had to get that out.

Take a look at my main page. I had three sets of wheels before. Most people like them.

Anyways... check the ROH line of wheels from Australia.. very nice quality and don't have tons of flashy spokes, metal polished lips etc..
had them on my 3rd gen, nice and plain, yet light strong and fairly cheap.. look here:

nah , most the rims out there look so ricey. I think i dont really like dish rims where the actuall rim is starts like 2 inches in. i think i like it flush with the rest of the car(ex: bmw type 44 wheels). the oz opera as someone suggested did not look that bad but i feel it would not suit a maxima.
p.s it aint me

is that your car? if so i didnt mean to bash, but its not my taste. i just dont like big wheels. anything past 17 does not really give me a gain, handleing wise. i dont like flahy wheels. i want things more for purpose than looks.

Its not you...
I think stock wheel always suite a car better because they are designed for that specific car. Hubcaps, on the other hand, are just plain ugly. I had them and ripped those off and got a set of 17s as soon as I could. I like my wheels, but I think the 97-99 SE wheels would have looked better. But I bought my wheels for another purpose (they weight 13.6 lbs each...).
