I'd say go with the GT3's, more exclusive. I'm getting a set in 19's this coming spring.
BTW, Have u checked out the Axis RT, and the Axis Seven 3 Piece? Those look hot!

GT3s for sure.

I got a question, how do you not bend the rims on a 19" I mean I just got done driving 2000miles on highway going from DC to Birmingham, and on the highway there are some major BUMPs, not potholes, but bumps, and they looked like it can destroy a 19".

I think I already messed up the front one, cause I feel a slight vibration after I hit that BUMP at 90MPH. And no there was no sign.

GT3s, but the NEOS don't look bad, beefier looking.

Try this link!

I am not sure if you know of this site...but it is a pretty cool place to go to look at wheels on your beloved maxima...you can even drop the ride height.

http://www.sportscartire.com/wheel_l...eel_link_1.htm

Just click on the aftermarket wheel link software button (long gray bar).

BTW...I like the Lowenharts (Racing Hart 2) They are a lot like my Konig Imagines!

Re: Re: I need some new wheels.......

Man, let me tell you bout those Eibachs that I got. I bout my car may 99' and got springs for it in july. The guy at the shop told me that he cold get springs for it and he did. He actually got the 4th gen springs and rigged the rear ones up to work by making some kinda sleeve to fit between the strut and the spring. I went to he mad b/c I sold the springs to someone else b/c I am getting air bags. This is when we found out that they were the wrong springs. i went to the shop that I got them from and he won't takem back, he keeps saying that was 2years ago. So I am working with eibach now to try tyo work something out with them. I did all of that to vent. The ride was firm but not bad. The MOMO's I had were pretty heavy and hard to bend.
