psh im lookin for the wheels that are on clearance im lookin to spend 1200 -1500 then again im gettin 18-19 20s are to heavy unless u spend 4000 and then decreases power and if decreasing the power is what i intended on doing i would have got an altima lol

gqblair22

lol i feel u on the 5 spoke being too little for a sedan, thats why even number 1 was skeptical for me, i like the asantis u posted but im not a fan of the second one, my car has chrome accents, i dont like contrasting with machined idk, i like these asantis



but then again, as blackmax said, they get heavier at 20 instead of 19 and u lose power etc, some of the TSW in 19 would be light and still look hot

If you guys are spending spending 3000+, please consider these.

seriously, it's been a series of nightmarish wheels after another on this forum.

idk if the letters in the post will be too small for you to read all the way up there on your pedestal but i dont think those rims you posted look any better than any that have been on here, they're OK, and no one said anyones mind was made up on blowing 3-4 grand on rims, if i think theyre worth it, ill spend it, at the same token, the wheels that are gonna be in that price range will most likely be 20in and as we've been discussing, this car is meant really to be "sporty" with light weight 19's, if you have nothing to do other than knock mine, and everyone else's taste on this thread, please refrain from posting in it

Some 20's like the Forgestar F14 are actually lighter than the stock 19's, potentially some of the TSW's as well.

gqblair22

i honestly think the forgestars were ugly lol, i liked these TSW's as well, kinda like the other ones i posted

of course gotta have the red stripes.

gqblair22

alright so my boy got a sl 63 in black and amg wheels hes got on look machined w black or kinda like gunmetal with black and it looks good even w the chrome stuff hes got on the car, so now im open to so many choices i dont know where to start F*&K! the only things im pretty much completely against is matte black, and silver (hyper), lets see what you gottt, I'm trying to have a good balance of sport and class, and i wanna stay btwn 19-20 with no more than 5lbs extra per wheel, this is so hard! haha

BlackMax11

I HATEEEEE alot of spoke wheels 5 spokes look soo hot i hate how alot of spokes look while moving

BlackMax11

love these minus the chrime strip around the lip

gqblair22

those are hot i like the chrome strip lol, i wish the spokes were a little wider, i feel like the frame of the car is so big for a mere 5 spokes, i feel like 5 spokes are for mustangs

BlackMax11

i mean 5 spokes r good for a coupe like G37 altima coupe but i cant stand seeing like 10-20 spoke rims on the road when its driving it looks like a plate rim makes me sick my boy just put like 18 spoke rims on his ford fusion i cant look at the car anymore its gross

gqblair22

i think 8-12 is nice 5 has to be a reallyyy sick wheel for me to bite, and over 12 spokes depends as well

BlackMax11

yea i mean im not lookin for rims right at this second rims are prolly gonna b next year but its good to get ideas started and to plan out hate living in new york rims gotta be off 2 weeks after halloween and can go back on usually last week in march but still that time sucks

Forget the wheels, I want that damn brake kit!!!!

Hello everyone, i own a 2009 premium in precision gray, I've had 22" Verde Modonnas chrome since about a week after I bought it 2 years ago. I just sold the wheels a couple days ago and am now in the market for new wheels. I definitely want 22s again but I want to go staggered this time around. I've found three wheels that I like, but they all have a machined face with black accents. I just don't know whether it would look right on the car, mainly because of the light color. These are the wheels I like. tell me what you guys think.

a weak fittment on 22" will look weaker and will be more wasteful than a properly fitted 20" set up.

why u ask ? because the tires are hella lot more expensive, the 22" will be a heck of a lot heavier and ride quality on 25 series tires will be hell.... and all that to gain absolutely NOTHING.

gqblair22

these are pretty much all the wheels i like now, havent decided colors as far as gloss black chrome lip, machine w black and machine lip, i havent seen all chrome wheels look good on a max yet, and all black only looks good if i black out the rest of the chrome on my car and im not going for the murdered out look, andi feel like silver only looks good on silver or grey cars, so here they are..

A hyper silver wheel with black accents, or a black wheel with hyper silver accents will really pop against your black paint. I've always had the mentality that if you're going to drop a decent stack on new wheels, they should "pop" in a good way. Obviously you want the new wheels to complement the car, which is why you've been checking out different black finishes and wheel designs.

I'd definitely go with a polish or chrome lip with black spokes that have some type of chrome or hyper silver accents. This is one of my favorites that has a little of both:

Rking21

Dude he already had 22s on his max, why u tryin to talk him out of a set up he already had. I wish u would just read and be quiet sometimes! U don't
Like 22s fine do what u want to your own whip

Rking21

I purchased the all black 22 califive back in April Blair, but they still are on backorder I won't have them till mid July...I can't wait to see it on my car though! I think the 20s are available now tho

gqblair22

damnn if i order them in 20's right now i wont have em for the summer ill have em on for a month before i have to take them off lol i live in new york, ill see if they got 20's, i had a guy on nycmax.org PS all those wheels i posted on my car, mines black idk about urs but they look amazing you will not be disappointed, 22" is big in my opinion, i prefer 20 with a drop but to each his own, im sure theyll look good keep us posted!

Rking21

Yeah also if u go to Giovannas blog they got a pic of the black chrome one on a M3 bimmer! Looks sick I prolly should done 20s wit a drop but i just went with dueces. I ordered em from wheelsnext and u can only imagine how pissed I was when they said July. They originally told me 3 weeks, buts it's not their fault so I can't complain plus I'm attached to them now, lol! But i think they are available now 20s though from wheelspecialist. You can find the pic at wtwcorp and just do a search on their blog site! My max is black and I went with the all black gloss wheel. I had the chrome lip at first but then started seeing all these cars with all black gloss and switched up!

gqblair22

yeah i've seen the m3 pics **** looks awesome, and the PS pic of the max with them was really helpful on nycmax.org, i think all black will still look nice, id be more inclined for the all black if i had a 2011 grille and painted door handles etc like i said before, i got the E&G black ice grille, and all the normal chrome parts the max comes with, so i think the chrome lip will be a nice match cause i dont wanna black out my handles and emblems..just curious, are your bolts chrome so theres a little or is everything black?

Rking21

Yea i joined the other forum just to see the photoshops, lol.Im plan using chrome bolts just to go with the chrome rivets... I like the black/ chrome combo I just see it so much in my area so I went with the all black gloss so tho its not chrome it will have that shine effect and the lip will just look so sick...here my max now tho

Rking21

oh and I just plati dipped my rims outta anger when they said I wasnt gonna get my wheels till july, lol!

gqblair22

haha i was debating plasti dipping outta anger as well, car looks fresh, i feel you on the all black cause u got the all black grill and whatnot, i woulda done the same, since my grilles the black ice mesh and the window trim door handles and emblems are chrome, im gonna go with the chrome lip, MAYBE paint the door handles black, but leaving the rest chrome, it doesnt look tacky with chrome on a car if you keep it in moderation

Rking21

I agree completely man believe me I debated back and fourth for a long while bro. You got pics of your max up?

gqblair22

couple old pics







since those pics ive put on the lower grill, ordered eibachs and front lip thats all i can think of right now

Rking21

Damn bro we almost have the exact same setup, lol! 6k fogs, roof spoiler, debadged, just different grilles, u went drop I went 22s and u havent got ur lip yet! Good Shhh...Def digging it!

gqblair22

haha great minds think alike, pictures dont do justice, its nice that we went our seperate ways on the 22's vs the drop lol it'll be a good look for each of us, i think my tails are darker i got them painted u cant tell how dark they are in the pic i posted before, also looking to swap out all high lows and fogs for 8-10k

Rking21

yeah my tails are painted too, your tails look a lil bit darker. I really want to black chrome all the chrome pieces but the trim is to hard to remove so I'll prolly just paint the door handles and leave the rest chrome. I want to blackout my light housing but Im to afraid to do it myself and the shops are tryin to rape me so I might be SOL till i grow a pair. I see you got a 6th gen too huh?

gqblair22

being raped to paint housing is better than spending 1600$ to order the 2011's lol, and unless u know what ur doing i def wouldnt do it yourself lol, if you black out the door handles itll def look good u dont have to do the window trim cause then if u do window u should do emblems, trunk plate etc...yeh its a 6.5 it was my moms

sg1214

^^^^haha You can say that again! Only reason i got em is bc insurance picked up the bill. That 1600 was included in the 11k it took to fix my max. Its not that hard to crack em and paint them, plenty of people here have done it.

carnut773

I called Vossen today and they told me that they have the VVS-CV1 available staggered in 22", and after seeing the picture on their website I think I just found my new wheels.


Now I don't know which to go with the silver machined or the black machined. Which do you guys think would look better, the car is precision gray.

gqblair22

haha i was referencing ur post about it being 1600 when i wrote that lol, and as far as ^^^ is concerned, can u go with a silver and black machined together? that might be nice

goldenrod

nice wheels, but imo 22s are too big.. make the car sit high and it doesn't look good..

but to each his own i guess.

BlackMax11

22 are deff to big man 20s are eh ok i love 19-18 on the car there big enough ya no what i mean but yea its whatever u like seeing everyday when u walk out to ur car
