I was thinking about getting these so I looked hard and found some pics of these on a 2000 and really didn't like them.......too many spokes....stock rims look a lot better imo.

I wouldn't just get the wheels. I've seen wheels AND tires go for less than $500. Sometimes $400. That's WAY cheaper than you can buy wheels and tires seperately.

I wanted to put the 18 from the G35s but 18" tires are expensive, won't the ride be a lot different too? since you have to go from a 215/55/16 to a 235/45/17? on the 18s you have to go down to 40 OUCh!

I have these on my car, and they look SWEET. The color is perfect, and they look more aggressive than my stock wheels (I had the stock 17'' titanium edition wheels). They also have a different offset than the stock wheels, so they stick out farther, which makes the Max look very mean. Lots of board members are buying spacers for their stock wheels to achieve the same look.

I am with you I just dont care for those rims on the 350 let alone on Max, the 18 inchers similiar to the Maxima Se's 17's look much better IMO. Also the 02/03 GLE rims similiar to those look better !

I would recommend getting 2k2-2k3 17'' over the 350z wheels. They flow with the car alot better and all.

the pics does no justice, it looks alot better in person then in the pics, i personally like them because its flush with the fenders, but i perfer my stock polish look more. these alloys are ok, but the polish look is much nicer. i plan on gettin the g35c wheels when i find a good deal, i got these instead because it was a good deal with fairly new tires.
