Are those the stock wheels on the american Max?

Those are actually 18" and are a dealer option not standard....

Here is a better picture, you can get them for $315- each from the dealers here.

Interesting, I don't even think you can get those here. Not that I would want them

I got these as a swapout and should do well against the NE Ohio roads.

I'd be afraid for really nice aftermarkets around here.

Sorry, meant to say the stock offering from Nissan (that can be had as an upgrade) and not true aftermarket rims. Anyway, they do look nice. A neighbor down the street had a white SV Premium with them and it looked good. I'd just be too worried to have any chrome on my cars, especially with all the salt they put down during the winter here in Chicagoland.

They'll come off at Thanksgiving and go back on at Tax-Time. (A little self-soothing needed around then.)

OEM alloys for the winter cause I cant find steelies.

Yeah, I see what you're saying Whit. I think the liquid styling lends itself to larger wheels better than most cars.

But the Dems around here won't spend $ fix the roads but they'll pay to fix your shattered teeth.

I dont feel my teeth can take anything less than 45 series tires on 18" rims.

In MY day... (OMG here it comes)

In MY day, we we the coolest if you had 60 series tires and 16 " wheels.

And I'm not old.

These aren't forged but they are paid for.

And with these pics we're done showing off. Just wanted to get these on for reference for others.

Yeah, thats why I got them. I wanted to downgrade. I like wheels that are easy to clean, give a nice ride, give a little accent, and got a 3 year warranty.

Awesome shot man, looks good. Not digging them on the car so much. Just like this photo, specially the older gentleman gawking at the car. I can't seem to go anywhere without someone looking at my car. I feel so violated!

I like the the camera shot, but I am not digging the wheels at all. I agree with Mreim769 that they do not flow with the MAX at all.....but at the end of the day it all boils down to what you like and how you feel about it!

I honestly have to say this is the first time that I have seen any videos with the wheels on my ride in MOTION!!! I catch myself driving past some buildings with glass to try and catch my reflection just to see how she looks while I am driving........but now I know!!! WOW

I just watched this video next to my wife on the couch in HD and was blown away! I told her jokingly that she should drive next to me in her car and video the MAX in motion and then I thought for a second.....hmmmmm....not such a good idea....wait a minute I would drive her car and video and she could drive the MAX for the second time and she thought that was a great idea!!! Maybe well see LOL

I do have some other videos on Youtube though with the my MAX opening up on the highway to hear the stillen intake and exhaust....with both the windows up and down!

Hey guys Im new here and i also was looking to putting rims on my 09 maxima sv with sport option.I just bought it for my wife and its a winter frost (white) with tan leather interior.Looking to put some 22's on it but i want them chrome and white...will have them painted if they are a different color. Still looking and if you all have any ideas.I would like something classy and nice looking. And for any one that is ready to buy rims in SAN ANTONIO YOU ALL MIGHT WANT TO CHECK OUT ESPINO TIRE AND WHEEL.ASK FOR HECTOR AND HE WILL DEFINITELY GIVE YOU A GOOD DEAL.
