19" x 8.5" Axis Shines
Whatsup all, this is my first post. I've lurked this forum since the summer when I got my maxima, and I ended up hitting a road hazard and putting dents in 2 of my stock 19" rims, so I opted to move to a set of aftermarkets. I reviewed this whole thread for ideas so thanks to all who have contributed.
I went with the Shines by Axis, and just got my car back today so here is a pic with crappy lighting, but you can see how they look.

Btw, I still have two perfectly fine stock 19" wheels that come with the sport package, and two that are slightly bent but can probably be fixed if you know what you're doing. Hit me up if you're interested.

GO THREE PIECE OR GO HOME AND 21"s OR 22"s ARE HIGHLY APPRECIATED

21" would actually be ideal but 22 inch can be good to but 22" can sometimes look a little too big and 20" can sometimes look a little too small.
20" can be done with a full face monoblock design that makes it appear to be bigger.

I like the stock 19" rims, but I am considering getting mine powder coated to the color of my old Prodrive PFF7's in bright flitter that I had on my 05' Legacy GT.
Looked like this. Figure the bronze like color would look good against my white paint. It certainly kicked *** on my white Subaru.

But I sort of think that I want some wheel spacers, but I have heard bad things about them mostly. So I am considering different wheels as well. The Enkei GTC01's look pretty slick in Hyper Black.

Definetly not the best but my favorite are the 19 Enkei wheels the Maxima comes with in the sport version. When the dealer told me I cant have those with the glass roof I knew I must get them and so I did. Very happy with the results.

Cause i work in travel in NYC.I know i'm going to bend them,plus they make my car stand out,for all the wrong reasons.I love them!! they look sweet.If i don't sell them, i'll just put them on for car shows

After consideration, I am pretty certain I may have to get the Vossen CV2's with the black and machined face. Think they would look pretty good on my white Max. Now how can I convince my wife that I "need" them. If I do, do I go staggered or no?

However I also like the Forgestar F14's in gunmetal.

Staggered is useless on fwd. Some people laugh at a fwd with staggered wheels. But if you like the way it looks, then do it.

Do I like the way it looks, well yeah I supposed it "looks" a tiny bit better. But like you said it is useless for a FWD so I certainly do not feel compelled to go the staggered route especially if it is potentially detrimental to handling or performance.

32 would be ok for 8 or 8.5. with a 9 and 32 offset it might stick out just a little. if you got a 44 and they don't stick out enough at least you could use spacers. but if the 32 sticks out too much, you're pretty much stuck.

i found a really nice deal on rims from a infiniti M37 on craigslist.
