Where are the center caps on the front wheels?? Painting the caps black may hide them if the caps cannot be located. Its nice to see another modded AE......

The center caps for 18" TE37s are flat and would not fit with the hub sticking out.. Such is life...

Did you noticed that your car had better acceleration and handling due to the Volks weighing less than the factory wheels. I am in the market for some new wheels but I can't decide whether to go for 19"(looks) or 17/18" lightweight(performance) so I was just wondering if there was a noticeable difference. Any info would be appreciated.

Vert nice. I like. Are those hubcentric? I've been reading that maximas need hubcentric wheels otherwise you might experience some noise. Thanx.

Hey Thanks for the kind words...

As for the ride, acceleration and handling there are good parts and bad. The ride is a bit harsher than I expected but nothing that I can't live with. I might be getting a bit soft in my old age. As for acceleration I can't really tell to much of a diffrence between before and after.. The wheel/tire combo is a lot lighter than the stock altho I have no stats on the diffrence other than how the felt when picked up. As for handling there is a big diffrence but this is probably due to the new tires and not a direct effect of the wheels.

As to my knowledge the wheels are hubcentric and the road noise isn't any worse than with the stock wheels.. Altho this might change depending on what tire you decide to go with.
