Man its so nice to see all these sweet rims on our sweet rides!!! I am glad I started this post way back when!!! The MAX still rolls on clean as can be......I should post more pics of the MAX all cleaned!!!

 

WOW! it makes you look at the car differently, still waiting on my springs they won't be in until July. Pics coming soon.

 

Lookin for help on this: http://forums.maxima.org/7th-generat...ml#post8080889

Any info would be greatly appreciated!

 

Falken sceptor 19X8.5 40offset on stock tires

i chose to stay with the 19" wheels, because roads in and around Boston are terrible. I got them for $400 mounted balanced with new lugs and hub centric rings

 

Here's what I'll have coming later this summer. The stance will be nearly identical.

 

Looking forward to seeing the finished result!

 

Thanks! It only took me over a year to find the wheels I wanted... ugh. 19x9 with +40 offset (being safe on the offset since I drive the snot out of my car around corners). All wrapped in Hankook Ventus V12 Evo 255/40ZR-19 summer rubber. Should handle like a dream after these get on the car

 

Im looking at the same wheels, but in 20's. Still got to save up some more. Looking forward to seeing them on your car.

 

I thought about going with 20's (main reason being more tire choices!), but decided against it. Wanted to keep the rotating mass as lightweight as possible for each corner. With a 19X9 TSW and Hankook tire, the total weight for each corner came out to around 49lbs. Going up a width and an inch in diameter over the 245-45R 18" RS-A's, the Hankooks only weigh 2lbs more

Good choice on the wheels though hahaha

 

Thanks, can't wait to see them on your car!!

 

Keeping my fingers crossed for September... then they're going in the basement for the winter

 

I'm a fan of the 5 spoke designs and always have been. They just look awesome to me.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love a good 5-spoke wheel. Just thought it kinda looked out of place on a big sedan like the Maxima.

Now on the new Mustang and any 2dr muscle car... the Forgestar CF5's are yummy:

looking to throw these on my black max, falken tires prob, dont know if i should go 20x8.5 or 20x10, if someone could PS these on a black max thatd be awesome, i also dont know how heavy these are and i dont want them to slow me down, what do you guys think?

 

Do a search... You can fit 20x10 in rear with correct bs...20x8.5 up front. You will be "slower"

 

correct bs? also any reason to not go 20x10 in front and back? besides the fact that the wheels i posted are about 15lbs heavier than stock 19's

 

Wow dude... 20X10 up front? Ballsy! I think 20X10's in the rear will work (albeit barely) with the right B/S and offset.

a) I think you're going to have some clearance issues with the frame, suspension components and fenders (when the wheel is turned full left to lock or full right to lock)
b) The car is going to tram-line like hell
c) Much more unsprung weight to slow down or speed up with

Just a few things to consider man. Will it look sick? Absolutely. But... need to consider the Pros AND Cons of a wheel/tire setup like this.

 

Everyone wants to change their wheels to something different. I think you should stick with the stock 19's unless you can afford to buy lighter wheels. Adding 15lbs per wheel adds 60lbs extra and you will feel it and with the width your talking...I think it would take much of the performace handling and ride that you've liked when you purchased the car.

Worth the $2,000.....No, there is many other things you could do with that money to make you car unique. But then again each is to his own.

I have the 19's stock from nissan and they are some what light and look great on the 7th gen. As for the rubber....can't wait until 35k miles to purchase some BF's or Mich.

Either way can't wait to see what you do!!

 

Couldn't have said it better myself!

 

do it. 8.5 front. 10 in back. lexani can be ordered in varying offsets so it should fit fine.

go here to see them on your car.

just talked to my guy, the cs2's are discontinued so if i get them if anything goes wrong im ****ed, onto the next one lol, ive been thinking about just powdercoating my stock 19's a black chrome, i havent really found any wheels i like, i want a chrome lip i dont care if theyre 19-20' as long as they have a chrome lip and a black/chrome face within 5 pounds of my stock wheels, any suggestions please feel free i need advice

 

Vellano VTN


MHT Mark V


Vellano VSi

 

i like the mht black better than the vellano vsi's, both have a good chrome lip but im looking for like an 8-10 spoke rather than a 5 like the lexani's i posted, i appreciate u taking time to find some for me though thank you, and if im not mistaken mht might be kinda pricey no? i looked at villano VSP and VTC both real nice, not sure how much those are gonna weigh tho, not to mention my cars dropped 1.2 in the back, 1.5 in the front, gotta make sure these bad boys will fit, esp if i put spacers in ugh decisionsss

 

how about these..
Gianelle Santorini
i got these exact same but in matte black for my super black max in 20x 8.5 front, 20x10 rear.

 

i like the thinner spokes than those and dont know how i feel about flat black on super black id have to see got any pics?

 

Haven't mount them yet. Just got it a while ago

 

ohh, kk well lemme see em when you get around to it tryna keep an open mind

 

No problem

 

all the rims i posted are forged so they are lightweight. forged 20s will be about $800-$1000 a piece. or get cast which is cheaper but won't be any lighter, if not heavier than the stocks.

 

the Asanti AF 130, AF 211 or AF 160 sounds like what you're looking for. you can customize the color combo on the asanti website too.

 

4000 for rims!!! id rather go get a can of gloss spray paint and paint the stocks lol

 

lol gotta pay for quality.

 

lol i got a hook for wheels and tires, but even still cash for asanti's plus tires im looking at no less than 4 grand, its a nissan, not hating since i have one, but 4-5 grand on wheels and tires, thats a sixth of the price of the car hah, im looking btwn 2-3k, i do like the af 160's though, and i can get them with tires for 32 cash or the af134's for 3k cash but idk how i feel about weight and ****, if im not gonna go with chrome lip and black face etc and i wanna go light weight 19's or 20's whatta u guys reccomend regardless of color for the moment

 

i want to get 20s put on tomorrow, does any one knows if 20 x10 will fit and look good on a 5th gen? or should i do 8.5 instead ?

 

Look at Vossens they make some SEXY *** wheels and reasonably priced. Very Very good quality also.

 

If you're looking for a bit of flash, class and lightweight wheels, TSW, Forgestar and Vossen all make some very good looking wheels. Vossen will be the most pricey, but their quality, looks and weight are top notch without stepping up to a HRE or Fikse wheel.

Happy wheel hunting!

TSW Nurburgring (the wheels I'm actually going to put on mine)



Another TSW rotary forged wheel:


Forgestar F14:

 

I agree 5 stars on this generation Max is not ideal, too much brake pad showing. People remember this is a sedan not a true sports car no matter how much they advertise it.

 

found a couple i like, my cars black lemme know what u think

 

I think #1 with black spokes would look very nice (not sure if its available). #4 is a good one as well. 5 spoke wheels on a large sedan just don't look quite right to me, but obviously it's your choice!

 

Also found a few more...

Asanti AF116



Niche Essence (very similar to the TSW but with black accents)
