I hate chrome. Absolutely hate it in most cases. But I'll play devil's advocate, I really think they looked a lot better than the '05 wheels on your car. just a humble opinion. They don't look bad, I just liked your chrome better. . .

When I first looked, I saw the ugly chromers and the pin-stripe on the car. Then I came back and I saw a comment about the chromies, so I looked again and then I saw the current setup (new wheels and no pinstripe). Let me just say.....muuuuuuuuch nicer. Sweet ride, man.

its not that. its just oem rims are sometimes cheaper then aftermarket. and there are alot of peopel that are selling them so they can buy aftermarket rims and plus the stock rims that nissan started amking in 2k2 for the maxima loook good to great and for me it makes my car more of a sleeper.

how low do you have your coilovers set(how many inches). I like it but it looks like it would rub. I am planning on lowering my car and I like those wheels, but I am only going to lower mine 1.5"-1.75". Yours looks real good but I would be scared to drive that low around here..

I have it at about 2.75-3 inches lower than stock. It rubs slightly. I think I am going to raise it about 1/4" and see how it rides then. Thanks all for the comments, keep them coming. I went with the stock OEM rims b/c I got a hell of a deal on them, I really liked the design, and seeing that I had sold my original rims that came on the car I had nothing to put back on the car to make it look stock in case I wish to trade it in.

I love the new rims. I also personally like the factory look. You car is sitting a little too low in my humble opinion.

I'm not a great fan of chromes - would only consider them for dark colored SUVs - but I am even less of a fan of factory wheels. In my opinion, your ride looked better with the chromes. The chromes you have are nice and clean-looking, not too much bling. The factory rims are just blah! - makes the car look plain, even with the nice drop. I'm definitely feeling the color of the car, too - different. Factory wheels are for NYC roads/winters only.
