Looks good. Although having a lip makes them look smaller than what they really are. 19" would look more proportionate.

I did notice that the lip does make them seem smaller than 18 but i think ill keep em for a while...i myself wouldnt put anything bigger than 18 on...I think it will look better once i put my coilovers on and get those tires tucked under the wheel well a little bit...

they acutally are a lot lighter than the maxima factory rims...i didnt weigh em but there was a very noticable difference in their weight...only reason i went with the 18 is cause i didnt want to buy new tires again...just bought these tires last month...

They look great, I thought about going for that look with mine, but decided to buy after market ones. You should of gone with 19's, they give the car a more aggressive look.

they were 500, that included shipping...and they are brand new.

Im still trying to decide whether or not to keep them on or go back to my factory rims though, gonna wait till i put my coilovers on to make the final decision..

Honestly man - I just took a look at your cardomain pics and your whip looks 100X better with the OEM wheels on....if I were you I would "upgrade" to 19s or 20s brother.....

Need to see them in the light! For me I don't want to be the only one pulling into my corporate parking lot riding on dubs. People tend to form their opinion about you that way. So anything that looks like very nice stock wheels gets my vote.

They are rather small b/c of the lip but I like the look... They look like the new Max rims a little. I got the FX35 20" rims and I have yet to keep them on. They look nice and arent that heavy to my surprise, I'm going to put them on when summer comes and I cant wait. Those look nice though man!!!

I agree with those above, the 18's look to small in this style. I would go with the 19's.
