Hey man, it's just my opinion. We all have one, so don't put too much weight on it.

I don't like them because I think they're really ugly, personally.

That, and by the looks of them they probably weigh a TON. I don't know anything about that brand, but it is not one of the "well-known" brands....so you're taking a chance with rim strength, quality of the finish, etc....I would go with a better-known brand.

Also, 17x7 rims should have a 225/50/17 tire...a 205/40/17 is not even close to the correct size for a maxima. They are too narrow, and the sidewall is too small. Those tires are for a Civic. Also would not ever get Nankang tires...

So...even if you get that rim, I STRONGLY suggest you get some different tires, or at least tires in the correct size!

looks ugly and cheap. and with 205/40...the tires would look short and thin than your stock 215/50s. try to imagine a 300lb chick with 5in shoes. that's what your car would look like, IMO.

yea, the design is not to my taste either. they look like they would be more suited on an SUV, or maybe.., well i guess i hope i dont see them on any car.
there are better rims than those.

I did a search for Ikon rims and nothing came up. They may be a real off brand and not made very strong. I would pass and by locally or go with a name brand via the net.
