I don't think they will look good. Just my opinion. It sound like a good deal, but I think the stockers look way better.

Personal choice, but I don't like wheels that show quite that much of the rotor/caliper.

i think that they would look good. I like the size of them too. 18x8 is a good size for maximas. I was actually thinking about buying a set that looks similar.

You misunderstood me. I never said I'd give you 500$ cash plus my wheels! lol.

I said i would give extra cash to help offset the value of new tires for the 18s that you'd definitely need. But not 500$! I was thinking in the 300-400$ range.
I prefer the looks and practicality of factory 17s, especially for where I live because of horrible roads. I love these 18s and don't want to sell them but i feel like i'll eventually bend them
Personally, i think these 18s look better than the factory wheels but not by much. But either way, like I said, i have someone interested already.
I'm still looking for some factory 17s off a 2k2/2k3 so if anyone decides on selling theirs in the area, let me know

I like those 18" wheels WAY better than the 17" stockers.

I like the wheel. There is always going to people that like and don't like a certian wheel. If they are in good shape with good tires, I think a even trade is fair?

Ouch...why u gotta say it like that h0e? Don't make me lay the online keyboard pimp hand on you!

The point of my post was to show mrs. jjs that open wheels look fine when you have some form of upgraded brakes...NOT to get opinions on my fugly (not that open) rims. Besides, I'm saving up for some fly 16" ADR's & Nankang tires...hope that meets your approval
