What do you think of these wheels...

TireRack is touting them as a nice alternative to chrome. I have never been a big fan of chrome on the Max, but these are nice IMO. What do you guys think? Think these'll hit it big???

I personally wouldn't get them, but u have to remeber that when u do stuff to your car it's what u like not what everybody else likes. A car may look good to me but u may not like it. So get what u like. But if u have performance in mind look for a light rim. More weight less power, lighter more power.

Not bad looking, but i would guess that they are on the heavy side.

I agree...but if you want my opinion, here it is...
I'm a lip man when it comes to rims, so since there is no lip I wouldn't get them. I prefer the deep dish look...IMO.

I Like the look of those wheels. Personally I don't like a lip on my rims. I agree, get what you like. The Mille Migle Evo 5 are the same type of wheel. I don't know if they are cheaper than The AT but Tire Rack sells them as well. I bought my wheels from Tire Rack and they are a great company. I needed a new lug nut and they FedEx me five for free the same day!! Great customer service. I almost bought the Evo 5 and Tire Rack recomended Mille Migle very highly (I have a friend who works in the wholesale division who hooks me up). Good luck on your decision.

Now I am jealous. I almost bought the Evo's but at the last second I got 17"ASA Ka3. I have never seen Evo's actually on a Max and it looks good. I do have an I30t so they probably would be to sporty for my car. My wheels have a more luxury look. Wish I had my pics posted. How do I post pics anyway?

I LOVE THEM!! I hate chrome, but love machined.... Stainless? Like my kitchen sink? Why cant I find the god*amn price?

And I hate lips on a Maxima. Maybe with a body kit, but without it, I think they only emphasize the awkwardness of the bumpers.

Nice!!!!

I like them.

Dished rims with a lip have to be AT LEAST a 19" rim for my taste, otherwise they look tiny on the Max.

Any rim like the EVO or these that goes all the way to the edge can be a 17-18" rim and still look HOT. Otherwise, has to be 19" minimum.

I would go for it!

Personally, I like rims with a lil lip...deep dish is tha best! But I agree, you're the one that has to look at em everyday...then again, you wouldn't want to unload your wallet on something that will get clowned.

The Axis Se7en 3 PIECE forged rim is the shiet (in 19" of course).

...I think I still like the Mille Miglia Evo5 better, and I am not in the market for rims at this instant since I just blew my wad on a set of H&R's... But I just thought these definitely had a unique look that I hadn't seen before, very clean, not a lot of extra (unneeded) ornamentation, so I thought I would post them for you guys to 'chin-scratch'... Thanks for the input and opinions!

Personally, I'm super picky about rims. I'm ready to unload at least 2K on them, maybe even up to 4k if I decide to get Lowenharts or Advan. Just IMO 5stars are played...and looks too sporty for the Max. I kind of want to go for a little more of the luxury look over the racer look. (i.e. polished or chrome, 19's, more than 5spokes).

Lowenharts are nice........nice and heavy, but the do look good. Go with the advan kreuzer series good looking and very light.
