they are 19s they look small cuz of the lip and with the streets we have here in quebec, it would be throwing money away getting 20's since id for SURE bend them with all the potholes we have here, so i went with 19's .. tires are 245/35/zr19 .. i will get 245/40/zr19 next time ...

thanks for comments though...

yeah DC all the way :P

I like 19s in general more than 20s but I guess the combination of lip with black makes them look small. I thought everybody would have learned that from the mistakes others made on this forum but you are a noob, so I guess you're excused.

As long as you enjoy them my friend, besides the above, they do look nice.

i LOVE the lip... thats why i bought those rims and honestly i dont think that it is a mistake those were the rims that i liked therefore i bought em... thats my personal opinion though! :P

they look great... and as anything that you post in pics, it doesn't give them justice .

When I saw that people were putting 22s I was like mmmm, I could stay with 20s just get a taller tire, and thats what I did, so I just got some 20s with 45s and it rides as smooth as stock,

So don't be afraid of the 20s, just as long as you get enough rubber for them, as far as those wheels go, I like them, but yea 35 series on 19s is just not enough tire for our cars.

hey bman...where are you located in PQ? I am from the West Island (Montreal). Maybe we could hook up eh? and yes your wheels are hot...if I had a black Maxima I would have seriously considered them....I think I saw them at LazerAuto on Henri Bourassa in Ville St. Laurent.
Oh and by the way (BTW) I have a connection who can get you any aftermarket part for less expensive than anywhere including the Eibachs (which are also on mine)...so PM for the info.

Salut!

I love the wheels with the turbine look, seen a few around here (NY). But yea 40 profile tires for sure, maby even 45 if that guy with the 20's actually did that, didn't think that was even possible! Smoothe ride man.

Love the wheels!
You didn't want to get 20s because you were afraid of hitting potholes but yet you get 19s
with too small of a sidewall.... same thing, ain't it?

The wheels themselves are nice.... but may be a little too small for the Maximas....
