That's hot. I like the logo. When we were little boys we all wanted to drive a "Hot Wheels" car, now you are... just with out the flames coming out of the pipes... Wish I would have gotten those instead of what I did get. Hope you got the insurance on the tires... I have busted 3 in the last 5 months... the tire insurance is invaluable... Car looks good.

thanks man. yeah i got a warranty on the tires. are they crappy or something? i really havent had a chance to put them through their "grip" tests yet.

so far everyone likes the hot wheels logo(which is really just stock on the rims, i didnt put em there) except a few guys on the neon forum i requent, but thanks guys. cant wait to lower it.

and thanks nissan, the max is my fave car ive owned thus far! w00t!

i am not diggin those wheels, imo. did you have stock 17s on before? i think the titanium edition wheels are some of the best oem rims out there. i dont like the lip personally, but, to each his own. =)

TL type S rims are the best OEM rims.

Man you killen it with rims. Thoes are some classy rims your got there. Looks really nice on the max. I thought 18's would look small on a max, but not in this case. Looks perfect. Cant wait to see the pics of your max lowered.

Plus whats your tire size? Whats your side wall? Looks like its pretty thick, which is good. Wont have to worry bout pot holes and bending your rims. Pain in the anus.

Nice Maxima, pimpen.

hey cool, youre in bensalem? heh, im from croydon! be there soon on leave, go eagles!

anyways, the tires are 225/40/18. i got the 18s instead of 19s for that exact reason......the whole not bending them on potholes thing. plus im an impulsive buyer and once the guy showed me them i was sold, heh. but yeah, the ride is nice, i can hit bumps and potholes(not that i try to) and the tires soak em up pretty good. i guess the real test will be when i hit street road eh? heh.

Not my style, but if you like them that is all that matters. The hot wheels logo has to go.
