I'm considering replacing my OEM SE 17" Wheels on my 2003 Super Black Maxima SE/TE with one of the two choices:

1) SSR GT1 (18X8) 19.0 ibs. ($399 each-Tire Rack)

2) Millie Miglia EVO 5 (18X8) 26.0 ibs. ($239 each-Tire Rack)

Pics of these wheels on a Blk. Maxima would be cool, thanks for any feedback and opinions of these wheels!

SSR forged wheels > MM cast wheels

I think the point of the SSR being forged and the MM being cast is a good call out.
I'm looking to shed a few pounds off of my 03 Maxima SE, and the SSR GT1's are stated to be lighter (19 ibs vs. 26 ibs)
I currently have SSR GT3's on my Z32, so keeping in the "SSR Family of wheels" does keep me motivated on purchasing those, my Max and Z are both black too.

To upgrade to 18"s and lose some weight and gain more in style in the process would be cool.
But I do love the finish of the MM EVO 5's, they look great on the 5th gen Max!
But again, SSR's are a more presteigus (sp?) of the two......... still thinking here.......

So far the opinions from the forum seem to lean towards to SSR GT1 over the MM EVO5.

I don't want to lose performance by adding weight to my Max, so maybe the SSR GT1 is the performance choice huh?!

But the MM EV05 looks so damn good on a Max, such a eye-catching finish.

But the SSR GT1 has the looks and the lightness all in one....hummm.......

Its soley down to these two wheels, both in 18x8 size.

How about the Competitions instead of the GT1's? IMO they look better than the GT1's on a Maxima. I was deciding between the Comps and the Evo5's before I went with the Miglias because they look so daaamn good.
BTW, the GT3's are my favorite wheels
