New Pics of my Maxima on 19" rims (plus pics of 2 bent 18's)

Hey guys, decided to show you my ride on 19" Katanas.




Link to my car domain site with more pics and the pics of the massive pothole that swallowed both my 18" rims!!
Cardomain site

Just an update, still waiting on NISSAN about my VQ35DE possible engine swap, as a result of 1L / 1000kms consumption.

SUCKS

damn man..you have been through some **** with cars....that pothole didn't LOOK that big but obviously it was! eh, look at the bright side...the 19's look better and hopefully you'll get something to compensate for your loss....nice lookin car all around though, and IMO getting rid of that kit was a good thing...

Well it is a highway, and at speeds of 60mph, that pothole is HUGE...

Good enough to bend two of my 18's

IS IT TOO late to switch my rotors the right direction? I already had them on for a year like that

What kind of rotors are they? The cross drilled holes look huge! Do they make lots of noise?

Man I love those Katana rims, look great. Those were the ones I was gonna go for when I was choosing to buy rims for my Max. But I went with Miglia Evo 5s.
