A couple of people wanted to see my 96 with the maxspeed drop and 2002 SE rims. The are kind of blurry. Its muggy in Houston and I forgot to wipe off the camera. I'll post "official" pictures of my car after I finish the exhaust and do a few interior things.

looks really good imo. i wish i could afford new rims/wheels. which body kit do you plan on getting?

 

beautiful...it looks great!

 

looks sweet

the car looks very nice with those.. and the springs are cool, doesn't look too low.. pretty good

 

Thanks. I'm just going to get the stillen aero kit. Seems to be the only one with good build quality.

 

That looks really good and clean. How much did you pay for the rims?

 

I bought Mattatax's 2 month old rims for $325. I think he told me that his insurance had just paid something like $2000 for them after his originals were stolen.

 

awesome dude, i now have the 2k1 rims which look very similar except they alloy and yours look chrome....

wow, look at that wheel gap go away

 

looks good, what kind of rubber did you put on them

 

I'm pretty much anti-slam and anti-flossy wheels, and I think that looks great. If I was to lower my max and/or put different wheels on, I'd strive to make it as clean and subtle as that. I'd prolly choose 97-99 SE 5-spokes, but that'd be the only difference.

Nice max!

 

How much of a drop is that? Looks clean.

 

Looks great!!! Looks stock still! Good choice on rims... but don't ask me why I know. I thought I was special too, one of the first to do 2k2 rims, but people realize 2k2 rims are pretty cool on 4th gen Max and started doing that... Another option which I'm thinking about is 2k2 Altima rims... Saw a pic of it, awesome!!!

Definitely get the Stillen kit!

 

Looks familiar...

 

I miss that car.

 

What happened to it?

 

Nothing, its outside, dirty as hell, right this second.

 

It doesn't look the same as it did in the Pike vid.

 

Thanks, I have Nitto NT450 tires on now. The drop is somewhere between 1 inch and 1.75 inches.

 

thanks for the pics...it looks awesome. i love the smooth, clean, semi-stock look. exactly what i am going for

 

any huge difference in handling with the new wheels. I'm running on 16's right now (2000 16in gle). I imagine the 17's help you stick pretty well. also what tire size did you go with? Did you go with 45 series or 50 series? Thanks for posting it's what I was looking for.

 

That vid still ownz, i think I will watch it again.. I still remember med getting tailed hard in the triple digits..

 

Nice!!!!

 

Not a problem. Well, I went from 15s to 17s, so the change in handling was very noticable for me. I stick much better now. I'm not sure on the series. I basically had the guy at Discount Tire look up the dimensions I gave him (stock 2002 rim) and I picked the Nitto off the list (cheapest )

 

Hey, quick question: Did these wheels make your car feel any slower?
If so, how much?

hold up, aren't the 2000 SE rims the same as the 2002 SE rims?? can someone tell me the difference? i always thought they were the same

 

Centers are different.

2000-2001 have a center cap (lugs are covered)
2002-200? lugs are exposed

 

looks great mine will look like that soon also! just have to wait for the other person to by rims so i can get his!

 

wait my friend has a 2000 maxima SE and his lugs aren't covered but i know the difference now i think the ones that cover the lugs are GLE rims i dunno

 

i believe they are speaking about the 17" wheels. the 2000 SE's had the option of 16" wheels (which i have) and 17" wheels(the ones they are refering to.

 

oh well don't really concentrate on 5th gen stuff, even though i would like to own one

 

looks good
