Anyone tried to put Infiniti rims on the Maxima??

I saw some real nice 6 spoke rims on the 03 infinity (the car thats like ours, sorry, don't know the model number) But I want to know if they'll fit our car, and if they do how much are they??

It was probably the I35. They probably would fit, but you'd pay more for those, than a good set of aftermarket ones.

Yeah, you're thinking of the I35 wheels. Whatever you do, don't buy from the dealer - too much $$. Instead try a junkyard or eBay. I've seen the regular I35 wheels pretty cheap on ebay. The sport package ones like I have are more rare - particularly in chrome (I think it was a $1200 option :eek )

Are those 18's? If so, those look just like the new M45 rims...

I swear except for tint, our cars look like twins. Anyways, I've got the Q45 18's on mine! I love 'em, but I would've never bought them from the dealer. They wanted something crazy like $600+ per rim.

Kicka$$! Did you get the 18's off of Ebay? Or somewhere else? I've been thinking of doing that for a while. Did you get the tires from the Q45 well? If so...what was the tire size?

Thanks,

John

Yeah, they were initially off eBay, but than he sold them to me outright cause he was local. The Tires are Michelin Pilots 245/45VR18's. I really can't wait to get some REAL tires. These Michelins don't care too much for my driving. Or is it my driving that doesn't like the tires? Anyways, They screech alot! Something I never get from my Z rated tires. Not too mention, they're not as low profile as I like.

Did you get em from Sweetsound2001?

So are the Q45 18's shown in your pic, the same as the M45 18's then?
