and copped a set of chrome 17" BBS RX 243 series rims....










Yeah they are 17", but they chrome and they BBS .....and also, sometimes you need to make sacrifices based on locality...I for one am not bitter..

These wheels are 17x7.5 running Falken Ziex 512 tires in 245/45/17 variety...

Just two days after owning these I am in true LOVE with my maxima...Handling is superb, car is rock solid at speeds above 85mph...

Traction is 100% improved, along with torque steer almost eleviated and bumps are pratically swallowed..

Anyone looking for performance/ride increase without risking bent rims, I suggest go this route. Basically with the extra .5" in width, I was able to go the extra meat on the tire.

 

Rims look good bro. I still think that 18s are a necessity.

 

But I guess that's only cause I'm getting 18's.

Looks good and I think it matches the grill well.

Amazing what a big difference 1/2 an inch can make

 

I thought the European look would be what's on all of the European cars nowadays.

Looks good though. Definitely not my scene though.

 

ehhh, pardon me
can you pass the grey poupon?
hehehehh nah just kidding.

I don't think the rims make the car look european, it still looks pretty japense to me, just my opinion though. enjoy the rims.

 

looks good
but small

 

thanx for the comments all.....18" BBS were like $570 a piece

as is, these 17's cost $500 each w/o tires... (of course I did not pay that tho )

I do think they comment the car, grill and all things considered well....yes they are small, but hey....live in the concrete jungle, you gotta play hard

 

looks good but my style is 19" all the way bay-beee!

 

Looks good! Much improved over stock. Put a post on the 4th gen side for those Titanium OE wheels, I bet they go quick!

 

They're gone already

 

So I hear------got pics of yours?

 

What...
Lots of VW have these rims...thats what i think he is talking about
I really never see this rims on a honda or other jap cars..
they look good man...
I would have gotten 18's but i respect your decision on the 17's
peace

 

lookin good!

 

wow shibby you Max is actually NOT ricey now

looks great, 17's are good man, you can go through speed bumps safely and the ride is nice

nice find

 

BBS rims, the original meshie, great choice, although 18's would've been much better looking, they only would've looked good for a few weeks until NYC pot holes do their work :P

 

i just dont think anything with more than 7 or 8 spokes looks right on a max, but still not bad just needs to be bigger

those look like they are off of a stock integra

 

no hating from over here, they don't look good : ]
I've seen BBS rims on all kinds of cars, not my choice of car to put them on (strictly porsche LM series: ] ) but I do enjoy BBS rims.

 

stock integra with BBS???

clearly either you're joking, or you have no conception of reality

 

One of my issues with Nissan was the fact they put 17" wheels on such a big car. I feel if you are going to upgrade you should of get at lease 18's. Because I had a bad experience with 18's doesn't mean it will happen to everyone.

But with that being said I think they look really good but then again going from Enkei Aegis to the Supermesh I might not be the one to ask on if I think a mesh wheel looks good .

Looks good can't wait to see it in person, also I have to hear the Bose with the new HU.

Nice

 

Curl, If I was in a different locale, you'd be lookin at 19's...being limited to these NYC streets of ****, I am screwed...I can't afford to bend and replace rims...not at these prices.

Remember to hit me up bro....

 

I have to say it


TOLD YA SO!

actually, they were at a price I couldn't refuse....I wanted chrome and I wanted a good brand

 

Nice! i am learning the hard way 2 bent rim here, is all good they are chromes. looks good bro

 

They do look good, but I'm going with Volks in 18x8 guise myself I want strength and light weight...

 

these are pimp looking rims but not practical. These will get dirty often and a b***h to clean up.

 

If I were to get a 17, I would at least get an 8" wide one, but from what I remember, you like your wheels tucked in for some ungodly reason.

Anyhow, they look good. Not my style, not my size, not my finish, not my price, not my brand.......but they look good.

 

clearly i think they look great for 17s...
first max with aftermarket wheels in 17s i actually like...
good job

 

Those are sweet **** lookin rims man. But I think 18" would be my minimum.
