New 19" wheels and DDEs installed

What up guys,
Just wanted to show off my new mods. I cleared my headlights about a week ago and installed the DDEs. I also replaced all sidemarkers and parking lights with 9 LED bulbs and just this past weekend picked up some wheels.

Check em out........

very nice, wheels are hot i think 19 may be the perfect size on the max. What kind of springs and shocks are you running?

Wild, I was thinking about similar rims.. They look good man. I was wondering, if you get bigger rims, will there be a speedometer error?

Well it depends on how much of the overall diameter of the tire changes. These 19"s with the smaller tire are I think almost the same size as the factory 17"s with a larger tire. I actually haven't tested out the speedometer or even measured the two tires yet, but will probably do this whenever I can manage to get a day off.

I put the 9 LED Red in the rears and I think they look awesome at night. What color did you go with up front? I was thinking about putting the 9 LED Amber bulbs in there.

I still like the stillen lip better, looks a little more classier, not too plain, not too extreme. VERY NICE.

vsamoylov -I'm guessing you're talking about a night pic for the DDEs, this is the only night pic I could manage because they are so bright.


Oxidizer2k - go to www.umnitza.com they're $189 shipped

UGAd13 - I have the reds in the rear and amber in the front. After clearing the HIDS and installed the DDEs I thought my old white light front side markers would be too much. I'm a lot happier with the amber in the front than with the white.

Jasonb1982 - Yeah I have the magnaflow tips

Nathan - They're Exel... I wasn't about to pay $650 a wheel for these.

scmaxima2k - YES, these are Dixit's wheels. Tires still had the red lines in the center along with the little spikes on the sides. These wheels and tires are practically brand new.

Xplayboy69x - A slam would be nice for show, but not for dairly driving. We'll see how those new D2 coilovers turn out.

maxima is looking great man.

I think you should ditch the grill techs though, and paint the grill the color of the car.

I had grill techs for about a year, they really rusted up.

I had the grill on for over a year and a half with no rust and then after completely messing up that one trying to make it fit with my new lip I bought this one from another org member that was rusted at one time, but after about 2 months I've had no problems. Us people in the south don't have a problem with them rusting because it doen't snow here.

For those who care these are the 921 LEDs I got from www.superlumination.com





Just some pics for those people who are still using bulbs in their sidemarkers to let them know what they are missing out on. These pics do them some justice, but not enought. They are so bright.

Your car does look VERY nice. Gives me incentive to quit thinking about buying a different car. Your car is a good example of showing that the money we spend on our cars really does pay off in the end. ....... Have you noticed a difference with the tranny cooler?

The tranny cooler allows you to have a real easy and smooth shift no matter how long you've been driving or how hot it is outside.
