Not my personal style, but black would look good on AE, it would match the darker headlights, taillights, etc.

Have you thought about gunmetal/hyperblack?

Dont go with 17s IMO. Although, those rims would look very good on your max.

Yeah, I have been looking around for some like that. I just like the polished chrome lip with the black recessed spokes.

Not fond of black wheels on a white car. But if you do this then make sure it is a theme through out your car, such as tinting your side markers, etc.

Rivets only belong in I-beams on large structures...not the circumference of a wheel.

Similar style, 17's gunmetal spokes, polished lip. If I were you, I would get these in gunmetal:


My friend bought these for his 240 and it looks really good with a fat lip. I mean the lip is huge.

Nice! I even think hyperblack is a better color than that.

since you want opinions:

1. black wheels on most maximas =

2. the bigger the lip, the bigger the

3. rivets are lame

4. universal lug pattern is cheesy

5. check out Exel's website. What is missing? The weights of the wheels. When weights aren't listed, it usually means the wheel is heavy as hell. Stocker wheels can be heavy, but if going aftermarket, but some lightweight wheels that will help with the car's performance.

...but that's just my opinion, since you asked
