Re: LOL

I'd have to say get something else. Those just look too "bulky" for the clean lines of your Max.

damn 4g's i found them for $505 a wheel and the most expensive tires is only a little over 3g's but check out zenetti wheels fairly cheap price and very very sharp i think i have dicided on the vegas and they aren't too heavy i think like 24.5 lbs on a 18x8.5 wheel

Wheels are less than eight months old and bright silver. One small ding on rear is the only damage and was touched up. Wheels sell for 500.00 each and 180-200 each tire new. If you live in South Florida you can pickup and save shipping. Trust me, this is the deal of a lifetime as rim shop already offered to buy them back at slightly less than selling price. Bought a Corvette and sold Anniversary Maxima so I have to let them go. Best handling option for a Maxima.......
If you purchased them them for $2400, and a Rim shop has already offered just under your purchase price (say $1900 - $2000). Why would you have just reduced the price from $1400 to $1300(in another thread). Why would you just give away $700? Did you get a deal on them when you first purcahsed them so your purchase price was much lower? If that was the case, why did you say you paid $2400 in the thread where you first put them on sale? Just confused as this doesn't all add up.

Yeah they say on the site that "center cap not included". I think those are OEM chromed and they have some replicas with the symbol.

Definitely

go with 19's. Hopefully you plan to lower your car a bit...nothing hurts more than seeing a car riding high on some rims.

RacingHart

I suggest something OTHER than RacingHart...they suck really bad and I would never buy them again. Honestly, I love mine. They make the car look so damn good. I guess I would be happy for ya since your car is white and won't look EXACTLY like mine.

Damn! 2 good choices. The Evos will look good on your white car. This dude around the corner from me has them on a white Max. Those z5000s are nice too tho.
Glad you got away from the big 5spokes...they are heavy as hell.

Out of those two I like the look of the Evo's better. Though the Z5000's look sweet too.

HEAVY, HEAVY. the 18's are 27lbs. my 18's are 21lbs. the 19's can only be worse with those wheels say goodbye to 14's for a while.

just a message for those who are all like "dont put chrome wheels on your car you will be slow".. not everyone is into being a speed racer. and if you want to call it rice fine, but i always thought of rice as trying to make your car seem fast when its not.. i know my car is slow thats why i dont bother with many performance mods

BTW kloogy did you ever remove your resonator. i'm thinking about having mine removed this week and see how it sounds. what i want to do it have a piece that goes from the end of the resontor to the cat with a flange on both ends, have a flange made for the b-pipe and one on the resonated section so i can change it out. should be less than 100 bucks. i'm gonna call some places tomorrow. if i don't like it i can change it back out, or have them weld in a smaller resonator. i want changability.

Your car is already lowered? My bad...I couldn't really tell. What's the drop on Maxspeeds?

I want to see a Max with the RH Evo S7 18" in gunmetal on a light colored car.

No. Only 19 X 7.5 .. The Mille Miglia's come in 19X8 .. I just want to spend my $$ on a brand name wheel, not some cheap knockoff !

Re: Opinions on these wheels for a 2K2 ..

Hey, Kloogy. I don't like them. You have a SWEET looking car...but I've already told you that. I hope you keep looking for other wheels, but in reality it all comes back to what YOU like!

Re: Re: Re: Opinions on these wheels for a 2K2 ..

Hey Kloogy, just brainstorming:

19" Konig Tantrum


19" Mille Miglia Evo 5s


Anyway, these are a little heavy, but I think either would look SWEET on your car...especially the Miglias!

How heavy are the milles? I was looking at another model they have with a bright polished lip. You know where I can find out their weights?
