Of course I like that style of wheel, always love the mesh look. I personally liked those TSW's because of the center cap (I like to see the lug nuts) But if the price is right, go for it, the 20's will fit your car perfect...

Thanks man... Ya since they are in a "Hyper Black" finish i think that it will go VERY well w/ my other black accents...

I hope to have them on the car by wednesday....If not this wednesday it would be sunday or next monday ...

Either way it should look real nice w/ my drop...

THE PRICE WAS CRAZY GOOD... Couldnt pass it up... thats for sure...

I think those will look smokin on your ride, sometimes you have to give a little (speed) to get a lot (24/7 smokin hot looks). Yeah you'll start doing like I do where I have to make 3-4 trips to the grocery store daily so you have an excuse to drive...

So what's the weight?

Pretty close to mine. Great looks, but I hate to see wheels with center caps missing. My rims have exposed lug-nuts so there was no problem. Not a fan of 20" but you will enjoy it, They will look great on your maxie.

Oh one more thing....might be very important.

This design with a lip usually spells problems when it comes to BBKs. Just keep that in mind because even a spacer may not / will not help you. I bough wilwood calipers so my set has to go.

Those TSW's in that color will look sick on your car. I was thinking of going with Privat Netz in the grey color with polished lip for my smoke max. 19's though.

I pointed you twords that direction because I think they will look HOT on your car Bro. More or less custom. Here's why...

YOU still have a fair amount of empty wheelwell. This is due to the mild drop of the H&R springs which I personally complimented the rear springs with a 1 inch spacer on your car (to level it out).

The standard size for 20's is 245/35/20. The tires that come with your wheels are 245/40/20's.

The sidewall of the tire will be exacly 1/2 inch bigger than the 35 series.

With your drop it will fill the additional wheelwell perfectly.

Now your performance will suffer so you need a second pair of track wheels and tires.

20's fo sho + 18's fo go

Yeah... Those will look nice on your car. The color scheme of the rims and tires will set off Smoked Grey and Blacked out accents on your car nicely. Nice pick-up...

Falken ST115 tires 245/40-20 ... should be nice...
I'm really interested in the overall fitment and ride with the higher profile... When you get them on please post because I am interested in going from 35 to 45 if everything well.

Well said Chernmax.

I am ashamed to actually admit this, but I'd rather be lookin' good 24/7, than sacraficing looks to shave off a few tenths for that rare track experience. I think these wheels are going to look "GQ" on notsofastmax's car. LOL

As a side note, the handling should be markedly improved! Flatter turning, quicker response, more fun around the turns.

Just send those extra ladies you meet as a result of this my way Bro.

6th Gens are a much bigger car than the rest of the Maxima's. I think it can handle 20's easily and still look nice and clean without the "gansta" look.

Nice find...

Don't believe the hype when people tell you 20 inch wheels will slow you down. At least I don't. In fact, there may be a ever so slight loss in initial acceleration but you should trap a higher top speed. Now 22s and up might be a different story.
