Hey I was wondering if ya'll could give me some advice as to which rims I should get with my Maxima below. I have found some rims and I want to get them in 20s, wanted some opinions, good or bad.



Here are some of the wheel options I was thinking of getting.

1. Motegi MR126 in White (Not sure if this would exactly match the color of my vehicle so I'm reluctant.



2. Motegi MR126 Black




3. Giovanna Dalar 5v and 6V

MadMax07SL

Either of teh black ones I like. I wouldn't color match White on white...

Motegi MR126 Black
The white ones will not be the same color. The best way is to get them painted or powder coated to the cars color if that is what you are looking for. The black motegi wheel is nice and will look real good. I will try and photoshop you a pic when I get home from work in about 5 hours.

I think the last ones would look good. Not really feelin the silver on them though. & they are 6 lug, you sure they come in 5 lug?

I would go with the Motegi MR126, they are similar to what I am running.

Thanks guys I went with the MR126 in Black. Another question, can anyone tell me the exact model of the GReddy Exhaust system that would fit the 2008 Maxima, I want to get that done next on my car. I don't know much about cars so I don't know if anything else needs to be purchased with that or not, I hear stuff about the R2C Intake for mods on the car.

Can anyone provide me with a link to the proper Greddy Exhaust for my 2008 Maxima SL please.

Thanks po8pimp, do you know if the one with the color tip is available for my vehicle?

po8pimp

not sure, you have to call them if the site doesn't give the option.

NyCShadow

Well just called them and they said the colored tips for the 08 Maxima are discontinued, guess I'll have to find something else.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw...+tips&_sacat=0 just get something universal and have a local shop install them. That is exactly what I did.

NyCShadow

very nice, i'll check out the universal ones. The wheels and tires have come in and here's the car now.





Now that the wheels are done, should I get a body kit?

po8pimp

those look amazing... I would get Bluebatmobiles overlays for the side lights and roof (http://s2.photobucket.com/user/BlueB...?sort=3&page=1). Might look into lowering kit for that front end. I would also look at tinting those tail lights. Even if it is not super dark, anything other than that bright red.

NyCShadow

Thanks pimp, any of these to replace the taillights?

I'm not much of a car guy, so forgive me for asking but what are bluebatmobile overlays?

*I just clicked on the link you posted, is that fairly easy to put on, is that kind of like vinyl or what?

po8pimp

Depends on what you are getting. Mine are not the overlays, they are sprayed. They are even darker now. Whatever you do, DO NOT GET THE SPEC-D taillights. They are defective and made by DEPO a korean company. I had multiple leds go out in under 50 hours of use. They are very nice when working and on the car, however I wasted my money with no refund.

Ohh bluebatmobile overlays are vinyl overlays, very easy to apply and very durable. I made my overlays for my sidelights in my signature for about $5 cheaper, however very tedious and hard to get quality vinyl to match. They look the same now as they did 6 years ago when I first installed them. I also did my third brake light lol.

NyCShadow

ah ok so its vinyl, I figured it was something like that. There's this place in Houston who does that as well, so you said do the cornering lights black and the top of the car black (something like this)?


I like that PIMPIN 3rd light lol that's awesome!

po8pimp

Yeah that looks good. I wouldn't blacken out the whole headlight though. I am pretty sure they make overlays for the hood and trunk as well, might be worth looking into.

NyCShadow

I called around to see how much it would be to drop the front and its quite expensive here in Houston, TX. They quoted me around $600-$750, so that might wait, I need to fix the tint around the car which should get done today.

These are very easy to install and adjust. Can be done in your drive way with a lift and air tools.

NyCShadow

What do the coilovers do?
