I have been reading your posts ever since, I have decided to buy a Maxima. The car or my choice is the 2k, Pearl White (the temperature goes upto 120+ in the summer). I plan to change the stock wheels (15) to 17 X 7 alloys with Pirelli P7000s (better suggestion?). How different will the ride be compared to the stock wheels (not alloys)? Also, what is your opinion on the 18" wheels? If I decide to go on the 18s, what tyres are best (brands easily available are Dunlop, Pirelli, Goodyear, Toyo, etc)

P.S. New to the board. Sorry for the basic question.

heavier wheels

acceleration would slow down a bit if the 18's u get are heavier.. but if not then it's all good. better gas millage, tires are stiffer. just take a water ballon, apply some pressure to it and roll it with your palm contacting the top side of it at all times.. and then try a golf ball. which takes less effort to roll???

just a thot.. but then again i might b wrong..
