Hey guys (and gals ),

I want your opinions of these wheels I'm thinking of getting for my Black 2k2 SE.


Thanks,
Johnny V.

 

They look nice, What size are you shooting for?

 

That was one of my wheel choices... But they turned out to be too heavy, since I wanted 19's...but they are nice !

 

Very slick. I likey.

 

I would get them from AXIS or MOMO, just because I refuse to spend good money on a no name wheel !...My pet peeve !

 

get the wheels YOU like. Dont base your opinion on what other people say, those rims will be on your car nobody else'e. That's my .02

 

hey what up....i was lookn at the same rims...im lookn at those, even Speedy company, but im thinkn you should go atleast w/ ADR [theyre called ADR Kasai]...and if you do it, picccccccs please...even though im white max, i still wanna see how they loook on 5th gen...i was also thinkn about going w/ HMC Black instead of silver...now im lookn more at the konig absolutes...

I agree with that 100% !

 

i agree w/ that also...but you dont wanna get rims from a company called Speedy...i think...if you like those rims, get em no matter what anybody says, but i would suggest going w/ a better brand as kloogy originally stated...but hey, its all up to you...but yea, for 18", rims+tires for ~$1000 is awesome

18 x 8"...anybody got any idea what these weigh? If they are like 22+ lbs. I'm not gonna get them.

Keep 'em coming.

Thanks,
Johnny V.

 

Those rims are tight. You should photoshop them on your car and see how they look, but I like them a lot!!!!!

 

They're Phattt.. What's the url to the website??

 

Wheelmax in the specials section...

Yes, stay away from generics and imitations. I like that style too, but I'd go with the Axis (Xenex) Muse. Wheelmax has that on their website too, with pictures in silver and chrome.

 

I think just about any 5-spoke rim looks killer on the 5th gen. maximas. Those rims look real good! If they weight too much, you may want to consider SSR GT1 or GT3's. They look kinda the same.

 

I forgot to one comment, when I had my Rota Cobra's, which look just like this rim, it was kinda a ***** to clean. Instead of cleaning 5 spokes, it's kinda like cleaning TEN. But, hey, I guess you only clean them once a week or so, so it may not be bad for most people.

 

I've been saving(not really going too well!) for the Axis Muse in chrome.

I emailed Axis Sport Tuning on how much they weigh in the 19"x8" size and they won't return my email. Lots of companys don't want that information out, but Axis uses one of the lightest processes possible without sacrificing too much strength. I figured they would gladly share this information, but not yet.

Centerline has extremely lightweight forged rims, but none are really my style.

 

I like them.....but try to keep your unsprung weight the same or lower. They may be too heavy.

 

They're from Wheelmax? I'll bet you 2:1 that they are out of stock on them. I was severely disappointed with Wheelmax when I called. They were out of 5 of the 6 sets I was interested in and the one set they DID have came with Kuhmos only.

 

<== Not a fan of Khumos

I may be wrong, but you get what you pay for. I here they have a new tire out that is supposed to be better. It was the same price as the 245 Nitto's I ordered. I just felt better going with Nitto's...

 

FWIW, I think Nittos are some of the best tires out there for the money. I've had three different sets of 555 ZR's and one pair of DR's on my previous cars. I've also tried Michelin Pilot XGTZ4's and Firestone SZ50 EP's and the Nittos are way better. The EP's wore out in about six months. The Pilots were nice, but Nitto's prices were way better and the tires were just as good if not better.

I've never tried Kumho's, but personally I think I'll stick with Nittos for just a little more $$.

Just my $.02,

Johnny V.
