It looks sweet. Im impressed. They are Motegi Racing Mr7's (Knock off Konig Tantrums) in 16x7 form, and wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza 950 All seasons 215/55/16. They are sweet! Quite as hell tires, nice ride too, loads of dry/wet traction I noticed, and if the weather guys are right, Ill be trying them out on the snow tomorrow.

Now, I just think I gotta lower this thing, LOL. It would really look good then! Im gonna get some H&R's and KYB AGX's and then I think it will be really sharp! I cant wait, but thats a summer thing, when I get more money, LOL.

Ill get some pics up when I can, I gotta el cheapo camera Im gonna sneak into the Aerosmith concert Sat night and Ill be sure to leave a few shots on there for the rims, and maybe get my hands on a friends digital camera and see what we can do.

But as of right now, I am one VERY happy Maxima owner!

GOODDYE OLD HUBCAPPED WHEELS, HELLO PIMPIN ONES!

I just got new wheels and tires on my mom's corolla. Rage 5.0 17x7 and 205/40ZR17 Kumho Ecsta Supra 712 tires. Looks badass considering the wheels/tires/installation cost less than 3 of my wheels...lol gotta love the chrome!
