19s or 20s...I need pics!

I'm trying to decide whether to go with 19's or 20's. For anyone out there who have either, can you post pics and let me know what your ride is like.

I live in NJ, so the roads here are not great to say the least. But I wouldn't mind getting bigger rims. I would love to see some deep dish pics!!

19s. 20s too heavy and mostly in chrome. Get 19x8.5 HP Racing Lightnings or MM EVO5s. Can't wait to see Evo5s on a 6th gen!

Yeah, I don't want chrome. I'm looking for silver with a polished/chrome lip. I don't know how many are out there in 20's.

I am looking at Maya, and AT Italia. I had AT Italia Riva's in 19's before so, I'm trying to get a different rim. They are a different lug pattern but, they look real good though.

Get Mille Miglia Evo 5 rims in 19x8.5. They would look hot on your Maxima.

I have 20x8.5's no chrome!! I went with ADR M-Classics, the clearcoat was coming off and they don't make them any more so now I'm on the search for new wheels (being replaced). I might stick with ADR despite my anger with my prior experience. Money is an issue and it is hard to find 20's that aren't all bling blinged out.
I was looking at sucking it up and spending the extra $$$ but stereo may take priority right now.
Some wheels I found in 20" low to high in $$$:
ADR Sterling
ACE Allure
Maya DTM
G Racing Kobe

I agree with 2k that EVO 5's would look great on your car. But since you've had AT Italias previously, how about the AT Italia Inox's (see TireRack, e.g.). I think they'd look equally good -- maybe(?) better. In any case, good luck and keep us posted.

Nice Ride!!! Did you drop the car?

Ah, your list of wheels is pretty good. We have the same taste. I was really considering the Maya DTM's but, they are alot of money.

I still would love to see more pics!

I've seen some max's on 20's around here but, the wheels were all chrome. Not my style but, some big rims!!!

Hey, jsmithsole, I have to admit your 6TH GEN MAX has to be the first I've seen w/ a suspension that looks "even"!!! You dropped w/ Eibachs? Looks like you have the same tire clearance both in front and back (same amount of space between tire and fenderwall). Everyone else's (dropped) still looks like the front could be a tad bit higher still. How long has yours been dropped? Does it take a long time for the springs to give that "even" look?
