I think your MAX looks sick!!! If I had black max I would have gone with the same setup on black with a little chrome inserts to set it off!!! The 22"s make a big difference as well with the whole look of the car!!!
I only have one question have you tinted your ride yet??? If not then to as dark as you can .......if you really could go 5% all around then it would really be MEAN!!!! Keep up the good work and updates with more mods!!!

I'm with michaelle8885,
Those wheels just don't do it for me.......In the end it really comes down to how you like the setup! If it's on point to you then it is what you want, if you are having second thoughts then maybe you should try another wheel and rim combo.....I think it makes the car look bulky, instead of sleek and clean like she was intended.
just my 2 cents!

I FINALLY DID IT....after the late nights and long hours of searching the internet and looking at thousands of different rim and tire combinations I got the rims I wanted......now I just have to wait!!! They will be here by next Friday.
I ordered the VOSSEN VVS078 20x9 Machine Black rims wrapped in FALKEN FK-452 255/35/20! These rims have a 2 1/2 chrome lip all around and will give my 09 Max a much more aggressive stance!!! The wheels will come mounted and balanced with lug nuts, wheel locks, hub rings and TPMS all ready to be installed on my vehicle straight out the box all for $2338! I will definitely upload pictures once they are here......now I just have to be paitient!
Once again here they are:

Mr305 the rims look good would look even better with springs. I guess the 7th gen doesn't have rolled fenders (2nd gen G35 does) so rolling the fender would take care of the rubbing you're having. I'm a big fan of staggard rims and especially black with machine faced combination. I bought the same design for my FX
Geaux the rims are too small for the car. Chrome is starting to loose some of it's appeal but chrome on white is a classic combination just needs to be 19" or 20"
My 2 cents...

I DID IT!!! I broke down and put my rims back on the MAX!!!! The weather out here has been cold but no rain, sleet or snow in the past week and a half!!!! SO i put them back on......I told everyone at work that I was going to make it snow and they all looked crazy at me and was trying to figure out what I was saying??? Then I told them that I was putting my rims back on and they all laughed knowing the moment they went back on that it was immediately going to start getting ugly.......
so far so good.......It only takes me about 30 minutes to change them out in my garage so the moment it gets crappy again off they will come once more!!!!

First choice was the best.[/QUOTE
No doubt Bigpete those were my favorite off the bat once I found them but the $5400 price tag made a huge difference in the end when it came down to it. I wanted to stay in the $2500 - $3000 range for 20" rims W/wheels,balanced mounted TPMS the whole nine. When I found the Vossen rims it fit every category and looks AWESOME on the MAX!!!

Its pretty simple here in Missouri we have pretty crappy winter weather. Not so much snow but more ICE than anything else!!! So the salt and sand the roads very heavily here and when all that cakes up on your rims and it stays below freezing for an extended time you really don't get a chance to clean them off it's not reaaly good for all that crap to stay on your $3000.00 set of rims!!! Plus where I work they don't get a chance to clear out our parking lots and I have witnessed younger coworkers slide on the ice and bang into curbs screwing up their rims!!! Ouch! So when the weather gets real nasty it's just smarter to take them off and save the abuse. I don't take chances if I don't have to.
22's? I like the rims, but they jack the car off the ground. What was the point in buying a 4dsc only to make it handle like ****?

I think you rims look sweet julian09, although I am not big fan of plastic center caps only due to some bad eperiences in the past where they have cracked after time and fallen off making the whole ride look like crap. But as long as they hang in there I think your ride looks GREAT!!! Can't wait for more MAXIMA owners to post pics with rims!!!

But I will say, staggered set up on a FWD car is no bueno.
