Very nice, I love the way Axis Supermesh looks on Maximas, expecially with wider rear wheels, looks very agressive.

I'd say its closer to 3"+ due to the width of a $100 is 2"+.

I got a DAMN good deal on these from a G35 owner. Got the rims for $980 and paid $425 for the tires. if you cruise the 350Z forums and G35 forums, you'll see these sets for sale all the time!

Nice set of wheels. I see you are having problems with center cap on the rears. What I did to fix that was taken a hammer and hammered it till I could get the wheel with center cap on. It's just a process of rounding the cap to fit.

Nice choice. 19s with a deep lip look great on a max if I do say so myself.

VERY NICE!!!! Now I have an idea on what something like that would look like on mine, since we're the same color. One question I hope I don't get slammed too hard on. What size set up would anyone recommend if you were not planning on lowering the car. I am probably one of the older farts around here, and the wife probably wouldn't go for me lowering the car.

The Axis website says that the 9.5 weigh 25lbs. I still wanted the milanos but milanos were on backorder for months so i gave up and went to the supermesh! I love these wheels too!

stock rim size. HAHA,,...i had Axis Seven Mod 18's before these without a drop and they looked GROSS...HUGE gap. I have progress springs and in my opinion, they feel just as smooth as stock and i NEVER have trouble on speed bumps or anything. Ive never scratched before...dont know if that helps any though!

Yeah...the huge gap is what I don't want. Your setup looks so good! I might have to consider the progress option! Thanks for the info. So with your drop and the 19's still a "stock like" ride? Or is it very much more harsh with the 19's. Another fear is that we are in Colorado, and have to worry some about potholes....well I do, my wife doesn't as much (if you know what I mean).

Usually, I'm not a fan of mesh wheels on the Max, but dayaaam! those look hot!

BTW, Housecor site has an excellent section on lowering spring comparisons...
