Pics Please

I'm tossing up the idea of picking up a set of 18" SE wheels off a 04+ Max.
If you have done this please post pics so I can check it out and help make up my mind.


I have a 2k Sterling Mist GLE dropped on Eibach's with the Stillen aero kit and touring front lip. Any pics will help, thanks.

sounds the same as todd's max, 2k3max2nv,
lowered with 19's and lip kit

lowered with 18 inch 04 max rims

my car with the 03 350Z rims, not lowered, no lip kit




i think the 350Z rims flow better, the spoke dosent bow out at the top like the maxima and the spoke is thinner.

just an opinion

Ammi had them. IMO they look better than the 350z wheels. And who cares if they're heavy. They would be good as winter rims.

The 04 Maxima rims look better than the oem 17's. I was surprised on how much of the wheel well it filled up, I'm lowered on maxspeed/gr2's. I'm upgrading to 20's, I will keep these as my winter tires.

man the Z 18"s should have been on the 5.5s standard, good-looking wheel, the new '06 Z wheels (same as 35th anv.) I think would look awesome on a 5th gen, anyone have this done yet?
