Enkei Arashis or CDR9s..opinions? pics?

Hey guys, i'm thinkin of gettin some new rims for my 97 Black GLE...so far i am leaning towards either the Enkei Arashis or the CDR9s, and I was wondering if anyone had any pics with these on their max...or if anyone has any input as to which looks better to them...also, unfortunately, i will not be able to drop my max for a long while, so with these wheels, it will have the 4x4 look

Enkei Arashi

or...


Enkei CDR9


thanks

I own the CDR's

I have had the CDR's on my car for about a year and I love them. I have the 18" and my car is dropped. Personally I would have gone with 17" if I had a choice again, the ride is compensated to much with the larger rims. Anyway I don't have any picture but I think they look great. I have a Artic White Max. They are quite a pain to clean with all those bolts on the sides, but when you do you will see some heads turn.

Re: I own the CDR's

I'd say go for the 18's. Also, have you thought about the Shogun's? They look pretty cool. Also, size may be determined by your financial situation. Bigger wheels, smaller profile tires = more cost.

When I did mine, i figured, what's good enough for stillen is good enough for me... Actually, I got my stuff before I saw this, but I thought it was pretty neat that I did the same stuff pretty much.

This is for the Stillen 2000 Supercharged Maxima

thanks guys for your input, sorry i didn't include it in the original post but i am actually looking for the 17s, and both sets, including some tires would be around 1200 shipped, so that's my price range...thanks again, now i just wish i could see some pictures with either of these wheels on a max, just to see how they would look

Those CDR's look good. How much do those suckers weigh anyway?

The CDRs weigh about 21.6 while the Arashis are high 19s i think...the tires i would be considering for the CDRs are Nitto 555 Extreme Performance (235/45/R17)...for the Arashis, I was thinking Falken FK451 Ultra High Performance

I think those are a bit busy... don't really like them. Enkei RSE is good looking, so is the Aegis is you can find it.
