pick a couple and then give us an idea of what you like..

 

and as far as size.. i have 18's now.. i like them.. but i think i am going 19's next spring 19's, 2 inch drop.. body kit..

 

I recommend 17's, 18's are ok but no bigger than that!

 

im gonna do these wheels, at italia s5 in 17's:


and then wrap thos boys in some khumo tires
then about a 1.25-1.4 inch drop and im done

 

there is a couple that i like. the first one is the Mille Miglia Avia II and the other one is the 3 piece racing hart M5 rims. what do you think about these ones?

 

those rims look nice

 

I was thinking about getting some ADR GT Sport 18" from wheelmax.com
They have them for $1400 with Toyo's. I'm also looking at the ADR Kasai 18". Once I have the money, I'll decide.

 

As far as the M5's if you don't mind knock-offs talk to "cobymoby" he can get you 18" Katana K5's for $590. But, if you have the money I know I'd rather get the real deal!!

 

i just bought some wheels and tires (upgraded to 18" from 16"). as i was looking, i noticed ADR 18" wheels are pretty heavy (24 ~ 28lbs each). i wouldn't go with those. same goes for katana wheels.

btw, try http://www.whalentires.com - they have great prices, especially when it's on sale and they have great service too. i ordered by enkei RP07 wheels from these guys. they were out of stock, but they ordered them directly from japan for me. all this only took little over 2 weeks.

haha I have 19"s now and I just bought a set of 18"s... 19"s are just too expensive and too scary to drive on crappy roads

 

Wont the 19's slow you down alot more though?

YES! And the cost of tires is a joke.

 

why yes it is! why I'd say its about the same price as a cheap set of 18" + tires!!

 

thanks for the help. im still leaning toward those racing harts

 

one other quetion. should i get 18"x 8" or 18" x ?. waht do you think will be the best

 

i would stick with 18x7 or 18x7.5 for 235/40/18 tires. for 245/40/18 tires, go with 18x7.5. although 18x8 are really popular for the max, it's heavier. 18" wheels look nice on maxima's, but if your gonna dish out the all that money for lighter Racing Hart wheels, you should get the performance too. 18x8 will be at least several lbs heavier. i've just got 18x7 on 235/40/18 Kumho tires and they fit perfectly...i like my rubber just a tad larger then wheels so if i do hit the curb, it doesn't scratch the rims. have fun shopping!
