Nope. Never saw it before. But, why put Lexus wheels on a Nissan?

i was thinkin about doing it to my accord, and just switching center caps, cuz half the people out there wouldnt even know it was from a Lexus. i had the opportunity to get them cheap, thats why i was goin for it, but as long as you dont leave the lexus center caps in, no one should care.

btw, i found pics of them on a 3rd gen, but not a 5th gen...

B/C the Lexus Gunmetal 17's look really damn good on our cars.

I've only seen a photochop, though...

Sounds like a fine idea putting lexus whls on the max, but one thought: the lexus wheels are probably just as heavy as our OEM maxima wheels, so you would get no performance advantage by switching...it would just be for looks. Why not spend the $$ on lighter aftermarket rims, unless you are getting the lexus rims real cheap or free.

Hey one good thing - if you switched you would have your OEM rims for winter tires!

thats weird cause I have a set off Enkei RPO1s off a IS/GS on my car right now and I didn't have to drill out nothing to make em fit. I can try to get the IS300 Sport Design wheels on my car next time we have one in the shop.

the enkeis have a standard hub bore when they make the wheels that is why they fit
