im looking for opinions on the 17" 2005 3.5SE altima wheels on a 5th gen? they are 5 spoke. i think it will look good. also, will they fit?

 

Those are 17x7 and the bolt pattern should be 5x114, so I would think they fit...

 

i bet they'll fit and i'm feelin those wheels too. cept you gotta put some smaller tires... those altimas come with thick tires! throw 235/45's and they'll look nice

 

^ Im with him...wheels are OK but those 215/55/17 tires just aint right!

 

Go with G35 wheels :-D! I think they're sexier.

 

these rims are pretty nice. I'd like to get these instead of the other 17" rims available for the maxima.

 

I think they look good. Even the previous 6 spoke wheels on the 3.5 Altima's look good.

 

why would you want to spend all that money on nissan wheels that look almost the same as the stock maxima ones??

 

the rims look nice but i think the tire situation bothers me lol

 

there are plenty of aftermarket wheels that look alot like those alti wheels, and are probably a lot lighter, to boot.

 

Irish, seems like a good place to ask you this question: why do you have Infiniti’s wheel and not some aftermarket ones?

 

im just wondering why altima wheels? do you want a differnent look or is it for another reason like lighter/bigger....something liek that??

 

Because they look just as good as most aftermarket, if not better, and are cheaper? You should PM him.

 

I got the G35 18's because:
1. I liked their look better than any aftermarket wheel that I could afford
2. They are STRONG and the roads here suck (most affordable aftermarket wheels are not as strong as stockers)
3. They give the car a "stock" look to the casual observer, and are less likely to be stolen than aftermarket wheels
4. It is VERY hard to find a good wheel in 18x8 with a 30mm offset in a 114 lug patter...not a common size for aftermarket wheels.
5. They cost me far less than the few aftermarket wheels I like, most of which are BBS or other high-end brands.

i got the G35 17's because:
1. I needed a cheap, STRONG winter 17" wheel that would clear my 6th gen front brakes (which my stockers did not)
2. I use them for autocross, but will be getting a lightweight wheel next season for autocross....I only have so much money lying around
3. I paid less for the G35 17's than i sold by stock 17's for

I don't have a problem with the Altima wheels, I just don't think they look any better than our stockers (my neighbor has those wheels on his Alti an he's parked right behind my car right now, so I can visualize how they would look..,..
