...that all depends on your style. Some people like chrome and some dont. No matter what, please go no lower than 20's.

Depends on your PERSONAL taste....get what YOU want. Regardless, someone will not like your PERSONAL taste. Finish....chrome, clear coat, polish, powdercoat....again....PERSONAL taste.

18" are practical, still look nice, not bad tire replacement cost, 19".....not much different from 18"....20", that is what I have, got the car that way, yes, they look nice.....but remember this, TIRE REPLACEMENT COST. Do my 20" ride rough, not that bad but with the SE suspention, I can tell I am running 20" rims.

My advice to you, check out some other peoples Maximas, find a style you like and finish, and go for it.

Remember though, your budget will also play a factor. Also, just because someone else likes them, you are actually the one BUYING them, and you have to live with them, so look around. Rims are a big investment.

That's the Lowenhart BR5, that is a nce wheel. Are you getting them used? Because new that wheel MSRP's for over $1000 a piece, I was looking at them but too much $$$. ADR makes a replica called the Sterling, but ADR is a bit sketchy IMHO.
So to answer your question, yes they would look good on the max (machine finish) but no smaller than 20"!!!!
Here's a pic of them in chrome on a Lexus:

......those Lowenhart's are very niiiiice. 20's of course is the only way to go with those. As far as the finish as many have pointed out it's about personal taste. Me personally nothing but chrome especially in rims such as these with a nice phat lip. Bling bling status right there, and if you have the money to buy them I say why not?

I agree with you in personal taste....I like my rims with the big deep dish 20" and getting Nissan center caps for the middle. Had to post the pics to give you an idea....hey 2k4MaximaSE, this pic is for you...

Many people will cry, "Oh My God!!! Picture is too big!!" But than again, they will get over it.



Don't cry everyone, just say you are getting your moneys worth out of your bandwith.
