Murano rims on 2k3 - take a look *PICS*
About 2 months ago I had to have my Giovannas straightened and I didn't want my car out of commission for a few days so I just decided to buy a new set of spare rims. I scored a brand new set of 2005 Nissan Murano 18s on eBay for $250, picked them up locally, and got barely used Michelin Pilot Sport 255/40/18s for $400. They are much lighter than my 19s and the ride is much better. I've only seen these on 4th gens before so here are some pics of them on my car. I think they look decent but not great; people I know are split 50/50 between those who like my chromes and those who don't; see for yourself. I will say that the Muranos definitely look good when the car is in motion - I'll try to get a picture soon (just swapped them back onto the car today).

18" Murano Wheels
Note: The GT-R logo is no longer there so please don't flame me - LOL!

the muranos have their uses:
1. at the track - genoas are way too heavy
2. road trips
3. attracting LESS attention from cops
thanks to atlanta roads, i have to get another genoa straightened so they will go back on in a few days

I gott say, I think those Muranos are REALLY ugly. They're gonna be pretty damn heavy too, so not really a very good choice for track use either. Good as a spare winter set I suppose, although most any 18's will look good in motion, since you can't see them when it's rolling...

i'll take a picture later, and yes - they do fit just fine
as for the track, they may be heavy but they're still a lot lighter than the genoas
like i said i got these for $250, i like the altima se-r rims too but i doubt i could find them for that price

Personally, I think the Murano and the Altima SE R rims look terrible. Especiallythe SE R rims. The only rims i would have on my Max is the stock ones or the G35 Coupes which i am trying to find online for a good price.
