Lumbee - Those shots at night look insane. I really like the look of the 40 series Nitto's. I love those rims on the dark color. It may be time for me to pull the trigger on this one and join the G rim club...

I can't belive you people fight bout 3.5L being all this n that... And Driver72 race my 3.0L please... show me the almighty power ya packing with your automatic. I could care less what engine my daily driver has as long as its got above average acceleration and AC. Sometimes I regret that I bought my Maxima and gave my '93 SE-R away to my little brother... 547WHP in a 2300lb car. BTW the rims look raw on the car, nice drop. Get a AE body kit for it

Same exact looking car, same exact looking rims and everyone is so hung up on the name
I think I kind of get his point. He didn't mean the carmake but the model. It's similar to putting 6th gen. wheels on a 5th gen. Max. I personally prefer G35 and 6th gen. rims on a 5th gen. Maxima 100x better than any other type of wheels. Now the rest don't really belong on a Max (and no offence to all of you with custom rims!)

Pablosal- If you like the look of the G35 so much why don't you go buy one. I guess you would rather look like a poser and throw G35 wheels on a 2k max. How about some SE or GLE wheels? 5th gen wheels on a 4th gen = ghey.
#58
Maybe someone likes the stock wheels off a newer model Nissan over their smaller OE wheels. WTF is so ghey bout that ? Its not like we taking wheels off a friggn Hummer H1 and put em on our Maximas. GLE wheels aint anything sporty, don't be hatting cause yo a.ss is too broke to afford any kind of upgrades to your car.

Verrrry nice, pablosal!
I was thinking about G35 rims too, until I saw how much they weigh.. then I got me some 17lbs Volks instead
Are you running with spacers? Isn't the offset on those rims 30 while the stock is 40/45?
They look sick on there though, no matter what any ghey org'er says... lol

brkbeat420, if you found these for $550 w/ tire, im sure you'd put them on your ride too. I think these wheels sets my car apart from many maximas out there. I like the sleek look it gives and with the drop, it looks even better. brkbeat420 = oscar the grouch
Yes, what I was going to say.
Well, I didn't consider the offsets when I bought them. I figured, if they didn't fit, I could just sell them back on ebay. I put the on and they fit right in, no modification at all.

He has chosen a set of wheels that IMO along with a few others, looks great on the Maxima and for a really good price.

Man, I don't know how you & Lumbee found the G rims and tires that cheap. I've been hunting for months and can't touch anything near $500 with tires. Let me know if I'm missing something...

From what I've been hearing, a great way to find these for a good price is to browse the G35 and 350z forums. Those guys are upgrading all the time. If you think about it, how many guys on here are selling their OEM wheels?

I found mine on ebay as well. Guy had just posted them and said they only had 50 miles. I thought this is too good to be true. I noticed he was local so I sent him an email (figured if he wanted $1200 for them I would at least save on shipping). In his email, he told me that all he wanted to get out of them was $700. I immediately sent him and email back saying I would gladly buy them for that much. He pulled the ebay posting and I went to his apartment to check them out. The guy was young 20's and just picked up the G35Coupe and put 19's on it. The stock wheels and tires were just taking up space, and the only thing wrong with them is that they were covered in brake dust.
I had Discount Tire pull off the Michelin Pilot Sports and put on 235/40/18 Nitto 555's. I sold the Pilot Sports for exactly what the Nittos cost.
BTW the offset on the G35 Coupe wheels is perfect. I had 18" MM Evo5's for about 2 weeks and they looked tucked like the stock wheels.
