Which Rims Do You THink?

I'm looking into getting new rims. My car is black and I'm thinking I want something with some black to match. I've found these two and am looking for some feedback or maybe some other suggestions...

The first set of rims is the best out of the two. Those are some sick rims, it looks a lot better than the nismo rims I've seen.

I'd typically agree with the first wheel, but the second one on a black car might really set things off with a certain style. Show us a picture of your car too, it would help with the consideration...

My pick:

Just save your money for a nice set of wheels. Maybe 3-piece or forged or both.

Neither, don't waste your money on any of them. If you want something in black, look at Axis shine or MRR GT-5 or if you got money get Vossen's.

Oh yeah, second set for certain now after seeing the car.

What's wrong with the rims you have now?

Thats a pretty good deal on the second set considering it includes tires.

The size & offset is right as well.

Go with the 255/35/20's for the best overall look.

I don't want so much chrome anymore. I feel like they don't flow with the car.

You wanna buy em!?

I understand that, the wheels aren't exactly "name brand" either.


How about these?





I wouldn't mind getting them outta my basement...

I'm a huge fan of chrome, and those would look better on a silver max, but I gotta say it, I think that's too much chrome even for me...

I personally don't like either but this is in that same range but way a better fit for the Max IMO:

Konig Lace

Now since I've seen your car, I still say the versante's... they spew quality in the eyes of onlookers. You'll get more attention if that's what your looking for at least.

From my experience the second ones are made by velocity and they bend easily...I suggest looking for a used set...the one kcmaxx sells look good IMO

Go with the first set, I'm not feeling that star pattern in the center of the second set. Not feeling the chromes you have now either.

The Versantes look better and would probably flow better on a black car. I dont think they would fit though since they are a 6-bolt and our 6th gen is a 5-bolt. They still look really good though and I like the styling. Very aggressive but still classy.

I think they may be the winners! I found them for $1600 with tires.

Although haven't really heard of Achillies ATR tires??
