Thank you!!

 

how much do those weight

 

24 pounds a pop

 

thats a lot. how much do the stock rims weight(2001 17"). i have only seen there weight listed with the tires on them. that is really not helpful

 

I'm not really sure...I remember reading around 25-26 pounds a piece for the 17's. I wasn't really looking for a light weight rim. Just wanted something that looked good

 

how much did the headlight conversion cost you.

 

I'll break it down for you:

$650 for the headlights
$75 for the wiring harnesses and parts
$12 for the LED's
$6 in paint to paint them black
and a few bloody knuckles

 

So you dont have HID's

 

Yes, I have HID's. When Nissan first released the 2002 maxima's, they screwed up on the pricing of the headlights. When they first released you could pick them up from the dealer for a little over $300 a side. I was lucky enough to get one of these sets (I was the third or fourth person on this forum to do the 2K2 HID upgrade). As soon as Nissan realized their mistake (about 3 weeks), they jacked the prices up, almost tripling them in price. Now, the prices are beginning to go back down again, but you will probably never be able to find another set straight from the dealership for as low a price as me and a few other people got

 

Looks great!!
Does your max feel slower runnin 18s??

 

Yes, my maxima does feel slower running 18's. Plus, I went with all season sumiomo's instead of high performance summer tires, so my car doesn't feel as stable anymore either.

But I sure do love the way they look

 

May I know what calipers do you have on your car ? Are those the 300ZX calipers ?

 

yup, 300zx calipers 30mm Aluminum ones

 

If you don't mind, is the offset for those rims +44 or +38 ? Tires.com shows those 2 offsets for your rims. I'm just curious as to what kind of rims can clear the 300ZX calipers.

 

38...Clear the brakes perfectly
