Hi guys,
I'm having a huge dilemma. Can't choose between 17 and 19 inch wheels. Can I get pictures of lowered maximas with 17" and 19" wheels (must be lowered with s-tec or coilover). No body kits (front lip and OEM side okay). Thanks, Doof Doof

P.S Vote here for pix:

Get 17 " LW wheels.

 

What about 18's...

 

Not enough bling y0! ^^

All or nothing.

 

Looks pretty bling to me...

 

. .. .

 

You can shave more weight off a 19" rim and still preserve the bling look.

 

19" rims all the way if u r going to go that back mite as well due 20's IMO it will be cheaper 19" tires and rims r a lil more expensive...whats the point of 17's...

 

I really like the look of 18", but wheels I want offer 17 and 19.

 

I hope that's not a sig good cripes

 

+1 Not feeling the chrome bling. Dead weight FTL

 

Please resize the sig......It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too big.

 

I don't see any big sigs....

 

Maybe I'm just dreaming of a crimson blaze 240sx...

 

go BIG or go NOWHERE. lol just get 17x9's and call it a day.

 

17"Professor SP1 20.7 lbs
19" gt2-h 21.2 lbs

 

how much do my comps weigh? anyone know?

 

You could get lighter.


I'd rather see a dyno from you.

 

LOL... What sig
I keep forgetting to leave out my sig. Sorry

 

Well, assuming you're not terribly concerned about optimal performance, I would definitely go with the 19's. I think 19's almost always look better than 17's. Just because a wheel is 19 inches, does NOT automatically mean its bling. The only concern is that tires will be much more expensive.

 

20 lbs for 17s is still too much...

IIRC, 5zigens are 16 lbs, OZ Superleggeras are 16 lbs, and Motegi Tracklites are 15 lbs, to give you some examples. Those are all 17x8s.

 

From my chat with couple guys at discount, 18's are the way to go.

19's apparently offer the worst ride of the three: 18,19,20.

Can most likely get 20's for the price of 19's anyway.

My pick is 18's... waiting for the ones I want to come out. Beginning of march

 

I think 18's are perfect on a 5th gen Max...

19's look good in the front, but always look odd on the back...

 

as far as looks i think 19s are the biggest you should go on a maxima. bling but clean. 20s look like the owner tried to hard. thats just my opinion.

 

18's and call it a day

 

I'll get spacers so it won't look retarded.

 

Wow I guess everyone is waiting on me! Feb 17th is when I go in on my local dyno day.

I'll shoot some dyno vids as well.

 

I like the look of 17s the best. Some bigger wheels (18s and up) can flow well, but some designs make our cars look ridiculous!

Buy my wheels.

 

The road conditions where you live should be a factor too. I live in PA and the road stink, I had 17"s and went 18"s and back to 17"s. Just my .02.

 

18's in a different wheel....those are lee haney.

 

If you want ride quality go with the 17" .... For looks go with 19". The smaller will be cheaper both wheel + tire wise like others have suggested. The larger size tires for 19s are a bit harder to find and are expensive.

He said the wheel he wants only comes in those sizes so 18" really isn't an option unless he wants to look at different wheels which I do suggest. Sometimes you can find something that is styled the same, yet a bit cheaper or comes in the size you want. (Please don't buy replicas off Ebay though.)

I've got 19s which are nice for looks, but I'd rather have the ride from my 17s lolz. But all the compliments make the ride bearable for now

 

Wow, nice ride. Wheels lookpimp, but I already placed an order for 2 18x10.5 +30 SSR Professor SP1. Will post pic when it arrives .

 

uuuh oh ballin Those are nice light rims and wazzzu I've always liked ur rims man

 

SSR Professors are one of my favorite wheels! Good luck!

 

If you want looks go 19's if you want a comfortable ride go 17's or 18's. I've got 19's.

 

Ummm... what does 19" got to do with looks... There are 19" that look like a POS. BTW, I like your wheels.

 

Go with the 18's they look the best and you can still get some performance out of them.

 

how do 20s give a better ride than 19s?

maxboost, your comps are 20.3 lbs. i almost bought a set from TR. gt7s are 21.2 lbs

 

Here is a pick of my 17s with 235/45/17 tires on H Techs. If you go 17s they cant be chunky or they look to small. I commute in my car now & I am so glad I dont have 18s like I did on my prelude.

 

Wheels came in today... Wheel looks awsome. SSR Professor SP1 > my old FN01R-C.

18x10.5 +30 97mm lip




Chapstick for wheel lip...
