Post Wheels to Consider for Maxima

Everyone,

I am looking at the following wheels...
Please share your thoughts and other wheels that you all are considering, thanks


Question: How much does our stock wheels weight???
I have the 18s

I think this is a very important factor as it makes a big difference in drive/wheel quality, gas mileage, etc...

1- BBS: unfortunately does not fit our cars!!!
2- Avarus: looks decent--- Weight: 25.0lbs.
3- Elbrus: Like the BEST so far---24.6lbs.
4- Enekei: Like 2nd best, but ok---Weight: 24.8lbs.

I agree. Good eye (painting the Cap).
Yea the 1st one would look real nice on a blk or a white Max.

All the wheels were from tireRack. Not really down with anything DiscountTire has!

Any other sites with a good selection, quality, design, etc... ???

Those Enekeis are a damn good looking wheel. I just don't know how well it would look on our max. Those tirerack view wheels on car pictures are slightly helpful but don't give you that great of an idea of how they would look in real life. But out of those three the Enekeis would be my fav. Interesting choice though compared to the other two you had on the list. What colour is your max?

I like the first ones, the others are ok but nothing captures the imagination of the car unless you use the first set.

Both GT-R Wheels and IS-F Wheels are great looking, but I do not know they would look on our cars...? Good point though.

I wish someone could do some photoshop on them for us...

Not even sure if they would fit on our cars?

I feel the IS-F wheels would work better since I have seen them on a sedan, so...

Sorry for the late replay KMoney.

It's a guy in Yonkers, here's my friend's # who works at the shop...

Brett - 914-906-9233

It was $500 including dismounting/remounting/balancing.

I am down with all color, but silver these days; just too plain for my taste.
