Anyone noticed that the 17 inch wheels on the 2K and 2K1 stick out farther than the tire? I found out last night when i knicked the curb and put a little scratch in my rim. I"M SO PISSED. How much would a factory 17 be from the dealer, think i could blam it on them and get a new one for free? The car is only 1 month old. Thanks guys.

2K1 SE Sterling mist/frost leather 5 speed loaded

 

I have the 16" wheels and I have a couple of scratches on the front passenger side. It really sucks!

 

I scratch both driver side wheels on my car but that was because I was extremly ungry going thru Taco Bell drive thru but to be honest I wish mine were to stick out a little futher about 1" or 1.5".

 

If the scratch is not too deep you can have the rim refinished for about $100-120.

 

The wheels can be refinished just like what Green 2kSE said. IMO, save your money for something else. All my wheels have scratches because I like parking very close to the curb. Oh well, my fault...

 

The wheels are ~$570 from the dealer.

 

So YOU hit a curb and want nissan to pay for it?!?? uhmmmm ok, hey i was fat in elementary school and got made fun of alot so i think ill sue the entire food industry...damn i hate when people try to put blame on others instead of themselves... Damn my new job is getting to me
Anyone else here a collector or ever been one then u know what i mean... oh and i have a nick on my wheel and it was my fault i hit a curb, suck it up and admit to it. But i only have one little nick and have had the car for 7 months so you must be a chitty driver

Hey Guys, I changed my original tire for 235/45/17 the tire bulge a little bit but it help saving the wheel when you park too close, this way you will only scratch the rubber and not the mag it is really efficient.


Have a good one

U might wanna read read his post again. He wasn't tryin to blame Nissan. Chill out, u may need a vacation. So do I for that matter.

 

Thanks HaulinMax, i think adam spends too much time sitting on his stick shift to know anything about really driving a maxima. 15.6 in the 1/4 mile, you must be a sh*tty driver, i can do better than that on foot. Anyway, thanks HaulinMax, some people are just tools.

 

No prb. Sounds like he's havin a bad day. Why can't we all jus get along?!?!

 

Actually if you werent a stupid *** newbie you would know my car is an AUTO not 5spd meaning a 15.6 is a pretty good time in the 1/4 isnt it??? Ill be damned if a whining newbie is gonna talk shiet to me.... cant even drive so has to blame nissans rim design as the reason he scratched a rim.... Ohh and im having a great day, its my one year anniversery with my girlfriend, i just hate ignorant whiners...
Ohh and i just waxed my baby, ill post some pics of it soon, its crazy gorgeous

Yeah, i maybe a newbie, but i am not dumb enought to get a beige auto max, probably the worst combination even seen on a car ever. my sister's 92 buick lesabre can run 15.6 so your max is obviously a POS But nice try loser.

 

maxse01...i'm gonna have to back up adam here...we both went to the track together and got almost identical times...we are #3 and #4 in the 1/4 mile on this board as far as n/a auto STOCK max's go...that is pretty good considering paul had much lighter rims and mingo...well, i don't know how he ran 15.333...anyways, i call bs on your buick running a 15.6...

 

well, looking back, adam's post was a little...umm...fiesty, but you shouldn't expect nissan to pay for a mistake that you made...2 of my rims have small scratches on it, one was from letting my dad drive and the other was from my poor judgement...i have had the car for over a year...i'd say 2 scratches are pretty good for that amount of time...anyways, maxse01, you saying that adam's "max is obviously a POS" is not exactly the most sensible thing to say since you have the exact same car just w/ a different tranny

 

Nicely said Zach. maxse01 is looking like an idiot with his posts. Your on crack man. 15.6 in an auto is Pretty damn good my friend. How do we know that it isnt a turbo buick from the 80's?

 

Keep going and it'll be locked... and I'm serious.

 

No it's not a turbo buick from the 80's, it's just a stock 92 lesabre. it didn't run 15.6, but it was pretty damn close. i just have a problem with people like adam jumping up my a**. maybe he should learn how to chill

 

Ok im cool now, sorry for jupmin on u man we are all maxima brothers here... Somthing about people blaming other people just sets somthing off in me. I guess its my new job.... Ill chill though.. And hey guys i just got 2 credit cards!!!! So im thinking Shocks, rsb and Y pipe... What you guys think??

Adam

 

YOU TO KEVIN WITH YOUR FLASHY LIGHT. WHO U THINK YOU ARE???? A FOB? j/p hahahahah man some ppl.. NO EXCUSES..i hit 15.333 bone stock.. i'll let u in on a secret.. it's the air freshner from bath and body works.. i swear it is..

 

But they had all their interior stuff intact... did you?

 

hahahah hey at least i left my shifter assembly alone... next time i might as well take out the drivers seat.. sit on a bucket. i'm taping up alot of things next time i go.. gonan use e-tape to tape up the gaps to make the care more aero dynamic.. (gotta make up for the heavy wheels) and see wut the vb can do..

 

Im considering getting one of my rims refinished anyways. There are a couple of places where the clearcoat has been scratched off badly and Iam worried about it corroding away from the large amounts of roadsalt that they spread up here. I previously owned an eagle talon... it's wheels ended up corroding badly after a few years. Iam not sure what the refinishers can do though. It'd be nice if they could just touch up the nicked parts.. just to seal it up. Sucks nonetheless.
