Has anyone noticed that the doors on the maxima are a little harder to close than other high priced vehicles....ie...accord...3.2..camry. I am constantly having to tell my friends that they do not have the door shut! Damn limp wristed SOB's!

Damn! Those rims look kind O crappy on the white! IMO.....it looks like a State Police cruiser or something. Maybe I am just getting a bad angle shot or something.

Sorry buddy....I would have done a little research before spending some serious cash on some bunk 18's. I hope you like em!

Best ET: 14.80 @ 94mph (w/ K&N).
Stock ET: 14.93 @ 93mph
Cool ET's 4DSC! I knew there was someone out there who could get a 5g Max to run! I guess your $39 intake works just as well as the $200+ ones! Man...what fools the rest of us are...hehehehehehe

I firmly believe a lightly modded 5g like mine (and about 1000 others) can turn 14.50's. It just hasnt been proven yet The weather hasnt been cool enough and the track I usually go to uses VHT like its titanium alloy (cheapskates......) But winter is a comin' and that'll fix one of the 2 problems

haha, me too. at first glance i thought it was a pic from the dealer's lot and the gxe on the end was missing the hubcaps. the photo probably does them no justice - they probably look pretty badass up close.

By the way...
I don't buy rims to impress the bit@hes like some of you may...its my personal taste and theyre LIGHTWEIGHT rims... if you guys wanna throw 50lb chrome rims of your cars thats your perogative.

Impress the Bit@hes!

Do you try to impress the guys? It is not working for me.

I was just giving you my opinion...and since I have a pearl car I like to see what others are putting on their max's. I know how much rims and tires cost and I always do a lot of research before a mod...or wheel and tire combo. I don't care for big O's chrome wheels or anything like that....but on a white/pearl car I would go with aluminum or white all the way. Solo's rims look kick *** on his car....that guy with the wishbones looks good as well.

I want to see what your car would look like with some sun hitting the rims. I like the picture you included in your reply....they look really nice. I am not sure about bronze on the white though. I am always interested in the mods that people do to their cars....and yours as well.

BTW how much do those rims cost?

door shutting...

I think the problem is that the seals are really good on the Maxima...if there's no cracks for the air in the car to get out, the door won't shut. If you have your window cracked slightly they will shut easily.

me too

sometimes I need to take a second swing at the door. I think its seals too. I'll take a harder to shut door over a noisy one anyday.

I think you guys should lighten up on the wheels, its a bad pic. They are bronze. I wouldnt judge them until I saw them in a pic meant to show them better. Then again, he really didnt ask what I thought of how he spends his dollar anyway. I suspect that in the right light, they look pretty aggressive.

$1699 for 18" Racing Hart CP-10's with Pirelli P7000's.
Not bad for a set of semi-forged, lightweight rims w/ good tires. And they do come in white & silver...but look gross in both of those colors.
Now i'll be PISSED if i see anyone on this board with my rims after reading this...then again i prolly don't have to worry about that...cuz ya'al just don't know!
No SHTYLE I tell ya....No SHTYLE!

PS: They're not even producing them anymore after only a few months because RH is changing their whole line of rims. So I don't have to worry about seeing my rims on any other car like if i bought...saaaaay...Konig Tantrums? :P
