white wheels?
 
Hey I got a black 02 Max was thinking about white wheels. Then painting the calipers white then stencil Nissan In Red or black on the caliper. I just want input what do you guys do for color I see everyone does black so I figured be different. Just opinions is what I'm looking for thanks. :)

02pearlmax 12-21-2011 10:30 AM

what kind of wheels do you have? are they the stock 17's or aftermarket?

White wheels on a black car always looks odd to me, white calipers behind white wheels is even worse. They will totally blend in with the wheels.
Balck vehicles can pull off just about any other color of wheel though, but are you planning on painting after market wheels or your OEM wheels?

Would white wheels look good on a white max w/17" g35 rims?

IMO Black is played out and doesn't look that great. Just get silver...

No.

This is Maxima.org, take people's opinions on wheels and fitment with a grain of salt.

Why? Because we're not the ones who own the car, and when it comes to a subject as subjective as wheels, you better not take the opinion of a dozen strangers over your own and your friends.

CMax03 12-21-2011 12:32 PM

I say go for it! Since brake dust is grayish brown....I'll be interested in seeing how well you keep it clean! It'll be the last car you put white wheels and calipers on.....It's your car and your choice!

fishtale6spd 12-21-2011 07:16 PM

Hmm thanks for the input originally I was gunna go not black a gunmetal with metal flake in it to make em sparkle. Btw I have stock 17's got other rims also but its winter no use putting nice rims on. Then.just stay black for the calipers?

036mtmax 12-21-2011 07:19 PM

I want to see a white max slammed on a set of white TE-37's

BigLou55 12-21-2011 07:36 PM

I say if you do the wheels white choose another color for the calipers just so it will POP lol, you wanna be different then go all out....if you don't like the look you can always change it.

Maximus2010 12-21-2011 07:50 PM

Do it bro don't listen to the nonsense these guys are feeding you!

ChrisMan287 12-21-2011 07:51 PM

White wheels? Sure. White wheels with white calipers? **** no.

Maximus2010 12-21-2011 07:53 PM

luvlexus101 12-21-2011 08:34 PM

Pink wheels. Purple calipers.

Get a White primer. See how you like it and if you don't then finish the painting process with another color. I personally think the black on black with red or burgundy calipers would look good. Do what you want. If you ask an opinion question then people will always sway you from what you want because everybody's style is unique and thats a good thing

Grand_hustle17 12-21-2011 09:47 PM

white!!!!!! do it

Slo4Do 12-21-2011 10:14 PM

White wheels, black or red calipers.

same effect as black wheels on a white car if you look at it like that........ dooo eet OP be different

ShocknAwe 12-21-2011 10:30 PM

My friend has white wheels on a flat black car and it looks sick, grant it his are very expensive wheels. Different strokes but don't you see how many people you can annoy if you do it!!?? It would be like the starry night maxima from the other day....hate it or love it

amixamse 12-21-2011 11:11 PM

Gray lustre+white wheels=yes

I think it would look good white but silver kicks whites *** on a black car dont u see the 12000 dollar max in the clsfds with silver 5 spokes he kills it

Why because he won't look like the rest of the cars on the ORG? No valid point, no care.

Op white wheels black calipers! If you make me say it again.... :mad:

Gizm0 12-22-2011 07:30 AM

IMO, only white cars can look good with white wheels. (minus the wing for the pic below)

On a black car, it just looks weird...

This thread delivers plenty of fail. Any maxima with white wheels is just absurd imo.

SmokedVQ 12-22-2011 07:43 AM

I did it with my SE wheels, looks good to me. Just keep em clean

TunerMaxima3000 12-22-2011 08:13 AM

White can look good if it's not WHITE, it has to be pearl, off white, etc. You can't do actual white on a black car just looks whack (as pictured).

You CAN pull of nice looking pearl white or something of the like on a black car

Why? Cause Im rocking the opposite? Black wheels are a darker contrast so they can pe pullled off with any color of car really. White are just to bright and dont flow well at all on a black car.
Black car with red, blue, purple even a green or orange can be pulled off easily.

Not really, the contrast is totally different.

Understandable, white wheels is not as easy as black wheels where ppl just spray any black almost and still get an ok result.

But if he can paint them a nice white using quality paint it will come out nice. Plus the last 2 pics Gizm0 posted look nice, don't know how you can say those look whack.

TheArtist 12-22-2011 09:26 AM

Try it out man. The great thing about paint is you can always paint over it. White wheels are surprisingly easy to keep clean. I was worried but my pearl white wheels stay clean for quite some time

Sick car man! Love it :drool1:

fishtale6spd 12-22-2011 10:22 AM

Yea I think a pearl white with some metal flake? Not just plain white. I'm gunna do white first then maybe orange. Well see ill. Thanks for all the feed back I'm gunna say now on black any body with a rattle can can do that. I have an actual paint gun no rattle can junk

T_Behr904 12-22-2011 10:36 AM

My Max is pearl white, and i've been thinking about color matching the wheels. Just don't have the funds for it yet. I thought about going with a non pearl white, but I don't want the wheels being a brighter shade of white than the car itself.

All black rims look like cheap crap, IMO. I don't care what colour the car is. Black inners and different lip colour isn't bad, but still...

I don't like the black wheel craze going on, buy $1000+ rims then hide them....

This is very true....Ive always been one for one off colors that wont be seen again. However, white wheels do look good but def not white calipers. I would color match the calipers with the car if its a black car
