Very nice! Good looking rubber too. Are those the gunmetal ones or the brighter colored ones?

!PrjctMax! Mar 18, 2007 05:35 PM

that definitely looks like the gun-metal version. I used to really want these rims, but the more and more I see them on 6th gens, I kind of don't like them. That's just my preference and why I am going for the 350Z track wheels, but to each his own! :hs:

SmokinMaxSE Mar 18, 2007 05:39 PM

Nice. I like them. Gives the Max an agressive look. If you drop it, then you can drive it like you stole it.:mardi:

VigilanteMax Mar 18, 2007 06:00 PM

They are gunmetal and they make the smoke color on the maxy look like a loaded weapon. The ride is so far so good. Taking bumps like a grandmother.
Thanks for the compliments so far... keep them coming

DeusExMaxima Mar 18, 2007 07:41 PM

I have seen these in person on a smoke Max at the dealership and they are totally hot!! Good job!

chernmax Mar 18, 2007 07:52 PM

Perfect fit with your ride!!! :thumbsup:

SmokeNismo Mar 18, 2007 08:38 PM

How much did you end up paying for the rims alone? my dealer charges $2000 for them without tires.

I got them at cost at $1436. they are not cheap any way you look at it, but the end result is worth every penny. Good luck.

UnMaTcHeD Mar 19, 2007 07:17 AM

Looks good man, keep up the modding.

Machinist Mar 19, 2007 07:30 AM

Really like those rims

DeusExMaxima Mar 19, 2007 09:49 AM

Hey Kamski!! Nice pic!!! Perfect rim for da smoked Max!!

xoomer.com Mar 19, 2007 10:04 AM

These rims are of the hook and I know it. They look sick with any dark maxima. Just don't try the gun-metal on white/silver/champagne and you'll be 200% satisfied. oh yeah, they are light as hell too.

They can be had on ebay every now and then for $1500 brand spankin' new

Fastmax05 Mar 19, 2007 11:50 AM

damn those tihngs would look great on my car :-D ... guess i need to steal them from you or get a 2nd job :)

VigilanteMax Mar 19, 2007 12:20 PM

I also installed lojac on these wheels for people like you fastmax...j/k. Wont be modding for quite some while, but I did sell my OEM wheels for quite a deal to a bud. Ill let you all know when I lower the beast. Next to go in is the FTSB when it gets here and the y pipe. Give the Max a more aggressive look by far.

Fastmax05 Mar 19, 2007 01:00 PM

how much u sell your stock se's for?

xoomer.com Mar 19, 2007 01:41 PM

and just in case somebody was wondering what they look like when moving here is a pic :spin:

Sold the stocks with about 10K left on tires for $450 to a friend. Prob think that is cheap. Also, will the 245/45/18s fit on a 5th gen?
I got the wheels from Fred Beans Nissan in Penn. The parts manager's name is Andrew. Very nice guy.

clayman88 Mar 20, 2007 09:46 AM

Good choice, man. The gunmetal really goes well with your ride. After the drop & swapping the grill out, you'll be pimpin! :fro:

Stevied23 Mar 20, 2007 12:42 PM

I like the rims as well. I personally prefer something a little more stock or not as "aggressive" if you will. Does anyone know of some good online sites to visit to look at some rims for the maxima. I'd like to keep the stock size of 18"

you can put the maxy in there and choose different rims. I think the program is ok, but it is the best thing before you buy them.

Stevied23 Mar 20, 2007 03:10 PM

They have some IT Italia Inox rims on there I really like. $309 per. so I'm sure you could even find some cheaper elsewhere.

xorbitman Mar 21, 2007 05:04 PM

SMOKIN HOT now time to smoke the Front chrome light housing and smoke the rear tail lights too? Eh?

Kashanova Mar 21, 2007 05:10 PM

nice im looking for some rims after i drop it, these i think would look nice on mines

I like those brakes too, Caoitaltie. What are the?

Thanks for all of the positive comments even tehaviator...j/k. The barkes were done by myself with G35 caliper paint and Nismo decals for the caliper. By far the most cost effective mod to looks ration done yet. It took 2 hours or so with 2 coats and removal of wheels and car on stocks... I do everything by the book.

Xorbit, by smoking the head and taillights, do you use film or do you have a homey to do this?

Ill try to get some better pics on here as one of my photographer friends said that my pic angle makes the car look long.

chernmax Mar 22, 2007 06:16 AM

Dude, everything came together beautifully, Mad Props!!! :thumbsup:

Majestic_MAx05 Mar 22, 2007 06:55 AM

Your car looks sweet bro!!!

VigilanteMax Mar 22, 2007 08:39 AM

I appreciate that coming from both of you as your cars are elite.
Thanks

briancopeland Apr 9, 2007 03:33 PM

ALRIGHT, I've been blessed by a WINDFALL and I'm going to get a set of THESE for me!!! I've gotten a quote from my favorite Nismo dealer, www.vadennissanparts.com for $423 each, plus shipping. Don't see ANYTHING better on eBAY or anyplace else. Any thoughts???

Oh, I want the silver ones vs. the gunmetal ones. Part# 4030S-RNA4010

Thanks!

xoomer.com Apr 9, 2007 03:44 PM

It think the guy in PA has them cheaper. My brother bought a set on ebay for $1500 ($375/per) but that dealer only lists them every once in a while.

VigilanteMax Apr 9, 2007 05:12 PM

Brian,
Speak with Andrew at Fred Beans Nissan in PA. Say that someone refered you to get the nismos for the maxima and make him an offer and he may order them for you. Andrew is the parts manager. Get the number from searching on google. not sure if he will do it, but you can try it. Good luck

VigilanteMax Apr 9, 2007 05:13 PM

Sorry, say that someone is Daniel from Georgia

dallas75 Apr 9, 2007 05:18 PM

Very nice set up on your ride.
