Well i am prob going to do 2 things... i just came up some cash on online poker..
First im going to get the stock 18's powdercoated a guntmetal color...
Im going to have that done when im on vacation. They say it takes 3-5 days. Im going to NY, so if any of your NY guys wanna meet up.. ill be there from oct 21-26...
anyway..
I will see how that looks and how i feel with the outcome... if i dont like that ...
i will sell those ... and prob get some 19's 20's....
i have always said that i didnt want to slap on 20's. .. but since the car is sooooo big ... it really needs a big rim...
I am a performance oriented guy... dont really want to get some heavy 20's... i know i can get some NICE 20's that weight less... but i didnt win THAT much money online...
anyway... thanks for the comments KC... you da man

Hey Justin,
I really like your car alot better with the factory wheels.
I would love to cut 1 ring off your springs to quiet down jsmith LOL (good one).
I bet she rolls smooth with the factory wheels huh?
I wish I had the time to drive down and install those shocks & struts for you. You never know tho, I might figure something out. That is a great shop rate for the install I must admit ($150).
Remember, you'll get the most improvement in handling out of the rears. Those are easier to install than the Y-pipe. Go for it man-just 1 hour max!!!
I can walk you through it via phone. You might even decide the rears only are enough for now. Trust me it's very easy to do the rears.
Just do it already Bro!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Code:
Ive decided to sell my rims. They are 20x8.5 Foose Speedsters with 245/45ZR20 Summitomo HTZR II. The tires have planty of tread remaining (Id say at least 70%) These are a 5x4.5 or 5x114.3 pattern with a +34 offset. Should fit most FWD imports and domestics. CHECK YOUR OWN TIRE SIZE. Im not responsible if you buy and they don't fit... I'll try to help with sizing questions. They have a few little knicks from mounting/unmounting and normal wear. No serious rash. Heres a few pics.
The white in the spokes is an inlay and can easily be removed... Asking $1500 OBO. I am in no hurry to sell so no $500 offers guys... Any questions, let me know.

Speaking of fires...
With a 245/45-20 tires you might actually start one. Here's why...
For 6th Gen Maxima's, the tire diameter is 26.7 inches.
With a 245/45/20 tire the diameter is 28.7 inches (recommended is 245/35/20).
There is almost a full inch of difference in tire sidewall between 245/45/20 & 245/35/20.
Therefore a lowered Maxima on lets say-"Progress or Eibachs", will in all likeliness rub. This of course will cause heat. The rest is history...
Now if you'll excuse me, I have a car fire to attend to...

Lol.... I like chrome, but I definately hate cars that have TOO MUCH chrome, especially the stupid uncessary chrome mods like those retarded Chrome pilars. It looks like random chrome. I saw the most retarded maxima the other day that had too much chrome, I wish I took a pic but it was night time. He had every chrome mod possible, even these stupid bumper reflector things that were actually chrome and all these other stupid chrome stick on looking things... lol.... Warning: too much chrome can lead to overdose

Good to hear fast!! The OEM rims are too heavy for performance applications. Get something lighter. Motegi makes some really light not too expensive wheels - Tracklight I think. www.tirerack.com
