doesnt seem like the link you sent shows a picture.

anyway, you shoudl go with silver rims...in my opinion, chrome is too much...most of the cars around here with chrome rims are really old, huge gas guzzling american cars with plenty of rust but really shiny chrome rims. black rims/gun metal makes your car look like its got steelies from far away. silver looks great against a black car...

I like silver rims on a black mamxima
I think chrome rims are a little to bling bling for my blood
I'm thinking about putting some black opal konig verdicts on my black maxima.Still thinking if i should or just go with silver

i like silver too , it makes the car look "clean" overall. but if you got a gxe or gle, like i do, wouldn't chrome also look pretty good becuz they have chrome trim around the windows, chrome handles and chrome on the factory grill. i'm planning to get chrome rims to match all that. it'll match even more if i eventually put the trenz grill on.

245/40 18 tires as posted in my sig if not then go with 235/40 18

....secondly...what finish do u think would compliment my car best...chrome, silver, gun metal, opal?..

If it is a good quality wheel it will cost you so that will determine if you get chrome silver or opal, if you have the money get chrome!!!!if not then go for silver and if you have no other choice then go with the opal.

do it right the first time go with 18x8 thats a nice ideal size dont go with 18x7 or 18x7.5 for gods sake my wifes small car takes a 7 width go with a 8 width, you can go up on tires or stay at 235 if your not happy.
