New PICS- Vossen 20s w/Eibach drop
#42
Finally got my stillen lip and skirts installed last week after having the stillen lip for about a year now. Color matching is a little off however and will need to resprayed next week. This winterfrost is so hard to match the 3 stage pearl. Had the grille painted black as well at the same time. More pics to come when it gets repainted.

gtmassive - thanks i like your color max reminds me of my previous card
white09maxima - it is about a 2 finger gap between the fender and tires for the front and back with the back being slightly lower than the front.

The springs are 1.3 in front and 1.4 in rear so that's probably why it's lower in the rear slightly. I've had them on for over a year and a half. I haven't noticed any settling.

Thanks man, I just ordered the Gorilla Wheel Lock set, 20 locks, I don't have aftermarket wheels but I do live in an area with lots of Maximas and the 7th Gens I see are all with 18's, very few actual sports with the 19's, just figured it someone wants my wheels, I'd rather have them work for them
Once again, your car looks great, loving your wheels

Thanks for your reply. Although the springs look great I really like being able to adjust the ride height with coilovers and from what I can see, it looks like the car will accomodate at least 2.25" of drop all around on the stock 19's so I'm leaning towards getting them ordered this week

BRUH THE CAR IS BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THE SKIRTS AND THE FRONT LIP, ITS VERY CLEAN BUT... THE WHEELS GOTTA GO MY MAN, THEM HEAVY ONE PIECE CAST WHEELS JUST DONT DO THAT CAR JUSTICE, A MAXIMA IS $35K-$40K WHY NOT SPENT $6K-$8K ON WHEELS DONT LET THESE FOOLS LIE TO U. GO 3 PIECE AND GO AMERICAN WHEELS, OR JAPANESE; NOT WHEELS MADE IN TAIWAN WHERE THE PENCILS AND DOLLAR STORE TOYS ARE MADE. IF YOU EVER NEED AN HONEST OPINION CONTACT ME I WILL GUIDE YOU THROUGH THE RIGHT PATH.

6-8k for wheels, hahahahaha, for a friggin Maxima. If you have 6-8k jsut to spend on rims, why are you drving a Nissan, why are you not on the Mercedes, BMW or even the Infiniti m37/m56 forums pushing your ridiculous views and opinons on them.

haha seriously, this guys frontin over here like hes rockin a ride thats superior to us, and flames us bc we dont see spending 1/5 of the price of our cars on WHEELS. I could understand a custom TT or SC build for 8k, but wheels. I guess appearances are everything for this guy.

sg1214 now that we r bff keep an out eye for my thread imma name it The Massacre. imm have to kill the maxima game; i really didnt want to cuz my car is a lease but o well who cares i can always sel u guys my used parts.

so let me get this str8, 3PCMAX, one of your pics in your album says "WE MAKE 3PC WHEELS" yet you are spending $6-$8k on wheels??? I would think if you're in the business of making wheels you would get better prices than that or better yet just "make" yourself a set for free/cost. Also the fact that you're just leasing the car kinda contradicts your whole CASH MAN image. For the record I paid cash for my car and I own it.

Hey that's your opinion on my rims . I personally love my wheels and have had nothing but compliments on them. Yes I would have loved some 3 piece wheels but like many people here have said I could spend my money elsewhere.

now that honest and humble answer i respect 100%

yeah you right i lied since i do make em i only spend about $4k but dont think that the profit margin is much, lips are $250 a piece and you need 8 to make a set of wheels just incase you idiots didnt know. Faces, the forgings cost $250 per faceand you need 4 plus cutting in the cnc machine which is another $300 an hour and each wheel takes an hour to cut. Paint is not free you are looking at $150 a face plus lips if you want them painted as well which cost $75 a lip and there are 8 to paint and the hardware isnt free either plus i gotta pay my guy to assemble them so.... do some math and come at me correct buddy, and thats just a regular faced wheels now if you wanna talk concave its twice as much plus engineering and solid works design and all that other stuff. dont just talk out ur *** to sound cool!

BY ANY CHANCE DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY PICS OF THE NEW MAXIMA ON H&R SPRINGS? I HAVE EIBACHS NOW BUT I DONT LIKE THAT IT SITS LOWER IN THE BACK THEN IN THE FRONT AND I WAS THINKING ABOUT CHANGING THEM FOR H&R'S...ANY SUGGESTIONS??
#67
if your that picky then I suggest u get coilovers.
#68
wow easy there with the name calling.
aside from all the negative comments, the multi piece segment of the wheel industry is going to be losing business.
the business has shifted towards 1 piece cast that are mass produced in china, with a strike price of about 600-1200 a set for 20" to 22" respectively.
in todays economy and times, nobody in their right mind will put out 3000-4000 for a set of wheels especially when u lose 3-5 mpg regardless of cast or forged.

$6k rims on a $38k car (which you can get for 29k base model if you wanted) is a little out of proportion. sort of like those people driving $10k honda civics with what looks like $5-6k worth of mods done to it. why didnt they just buy a more expensive car? hell id even rather spend that money on upgrading to a 2012 Max instead of wheels.
#76
yup I hear ya, I'd rather throw it onto a 2012 maxima. I can't wait to see what they come up with the 2012 max!
although they sound complicated to make and no doubt look great, i didn't know there was a market at all for them to begin with. figured it was one of those things like grand pianos that people buy only when they have money they feel like blowing.

I have a 2010 sport/premium (without sport suspension obv) max; i want to do a drop with Eibach and 19'' or 20'' rims. My buddy tells me that i will *** up my suspension by riding on 19'' 20'' inch with stock suspension.
Will i have do much dmg to suspension overtime with above setup or should i look at adding more than just Eibach springs?
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks.

my bad i meant to say premium (sport package is included, but you're loosing the sport suspension, spoiler, 19'' wheels, thats the trade off i guess).
Thanks for the input, i am suspecting he is pulling my leg, and I can't say he is the guy you would listen to about cars, but neither am I That's why I asked around here.
I live in Richmond Hill; know if any shop/store around GTA i can go to for aftermarket wheels? Would be nice to have one referred; trying to avoid all the shady places.
