Hey, im having a hard time picking out some rims for my car...IM JUST CLUELESS ON WHAT WOULD WORK..

CAN some one please HELP ME OUT, here is a pic of my car'
i would really appreciate any insight, as this is my first car that ill be putting rims on.



I was gonna get the speedy envy RIMS 19x8.5 with a 38mm offset which are the same rims that NISMAX03 has on his white 5.5 gen.

and here is a pic of the rims


I WAS GONNA get them from the same place that MISMAX got his from
at lakeshore wheelhouse

They look heavy

 

what do you mean? i take it thats not a good thing?

 

How much do they weigh?

 

to be honest with you im not sure??

well shipping is about 12 dollars per rim so im guessing about 18-25 pounds per rim...thats with tires, but then again the site did do a discount on the shipping

 

You might want to check out a site call discounttiredirect.com or something similar. I know on discount tire direct, they have a program that will let you see what some wheels will look like on a Maxima. You can choose the color car and lower the car also. I doesn't look all that realistic, but it gives you an idea.

Also, there was a site someone posted a while back that did the same thing, but allowed you to take pictures of the car with the wheels on and the pics looked pretty realistic.

 

1. Weight matters. The heavier the rim, the slower your car will feel/be.
2. "Lightweight" wheel would describe a wheel under about 20lbs. Anything over 25lbs would be described as "heavy"
3. Don't use shipping weight to determine anything. A typical rim and tire combo will weight about 50lbs, not 18-25....
4. Color: Silver IMO. Or pink.
5. Read the stickies in the wheel/tire section. It sounds like you don't know anything about wheels, so get some knowledge there before you spend your money on something that might not be right.
6. Lose those hideous taillights....PLEASE!

good luck.

 

oh and 7.

get NAME BRAND rims...not cheesy "tuner" rims.

If you're going on for a "budget" brand, get a well known one like Enkei, Kosei, of 5Zigen.

Don't get wheels from lame tuner sites that sell wheels with names like "Hott" or "Fazt" or crap like that....

 

Please!!!!!

And please do me a personal favor and stay away from Chrome.

 

 

ok gotcha.....naw, no cheap **** for me....

i like my taillights SO THEY STAY!

i wouldnt say im totally clueless on sizes and what all the numbers mean but a little better understanding couldnt hurt...thanks for the info

lol, chrome is definately out of my question...thats the last thing i wanted...its too typical

 

i know what site you speak of

thanks

 

I would prolly go with silver or silver with a polished lip on that red car. Black or gunmetal or bronze might not look so good with that color.

Try this out.

 

i definately wanted something with a polished lip for sure.....

 

WOW! thanks alot.....that interactive flash plugin is BEAUTIFUL

 

Spend money on your suspension first.

 

gunmetal is hot color, but thats my opinion. either silver or gunmetal. no chrome. hyper black is nice too.

 

oh yea definately...ive got my H&R springs and im waiting on some Tokico Illuminas in the mail, should have them some time this week....and im taking my car to the mechanic to have the shocks, springs, as well as strut mounts, and boots replaced..

 

what makes "hyper black" so "hyper," that's what I want to know.

After all, my maxima is painted Nissan "super black" and the paint has proven to be far from "super"

 

anything black is out of the question

 

Polished aluminum wheels FTW

 

ill prolly go for some silvers with at least a 1.5 inch lip, id prefer a 2 inch lip though.

 

hey i'm selling some 18's that look alot like those for prolly half the price if your interrested PM me. heres the thread http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=516087

 

Just remember weight is a large issue also to concider. I personally am going SSR comp-h 19", i think they'd look pretty nice on yours also.

 

they weigh 20.3 Lbs. BTW

 

i was lookin at the SSR GT-3 silver....IDK yet

 

Those are some expensive rims my friend. And they're not light. If you plan on rollin on wheels that classy, you better do what Irish said and lose the tails lol...

 

^^LOL, man you all can say what you like about my tails...dammit they stay, lol

 

black w/chrome lip + drop = complete

 

ok hyper black isnt really black but thats what its called. but its actually hyper dark. its kinda like titanium edition wheel color, but darker and shiner?
hyper black/hyper dark

gloss black

gunmetal

 

axis FTL!!

 

if only we had a wheel and tire forum
if only people could make their own decisions

 

my car is super duper black

hyper is a fancy marketing word (like "hyper ground kit" which is really just grounding). dam it!! now people are gonna read that and start a bunch of "grounding kit" threads

 

I think chrome goes very well with that color....but you could say I am a bit biased....

 

well its evident that I.......DONT......KNOW!!! so i came here to as THE QUESTION, and please direct me to the theard where it says
RIMS SUGGESTIONS!! BECAUSE I SURE AS HELL CANT F*cking find it

thanks for the suggestion I F'IN APPRECIATE IT


oh and im sure he probably new that

 

THATS Looks pretty good in my opinion

 

I'll be the first to say that you should get any style rim you like in a 19" with a polished lip. Then take it to the body shop and have them color match center to your car. I've only seen one other Merlot Max with that set up.

 

i like the way that sounds...THANKS!

 

the proper forum http://forums.maxima.org/forumdisplay.php?f=71
or just make your own decision...you are the one driving the car. we dont care
