Winter Frost here. I went with 20% and imho its just right. I still want to be able to see out at night but want decent block out during the day. 20% seems perfect for me.

Looks great. I have Vossen O82 20's with eibach drop. I constantly get compliments and Vossens are great quality.

Coolwhp - you're right I first saw the Vossen 083s on Alpha's maxima. Made me want to get them for my car. They definitely are great wheels. Here's more pics with the stillen kit repainted

Ever thought of painting your headlights black and white? It would SICK with the theme you got going.

Just ordered my 20's staggard Vossen Monoblock 083 today, will be dropping it and putting the stillen lip on it next. Let me tell you guys with those 22's you need to put stronger brakes on your ride, learn from my mistake i put 22's on my BMW 7 series and left the factory brakes on and it destroyed my whole brake assembly which cost me over 2,500 to fix. the drag of 22's and the stopping power needed is much more than what OEM brakes can handle. Don't think because you got this bumper to bumper warranty by Nissan that your covered because your not, Once you take your car in for regular maintenance and you got 22's on your ride it's been documented and used against you later if your brakes start to fail.

Probably get flamed for a n00b ? like this, but can you embellish upon that mod a bit more? I just had a bulb go out, and I like the HID yellow fogs, but not sure if I can get off my wallet long enough for those, and frankly, I don't know how to wire up HID's.

Link to purchase location? Bulb size? Cost? Pics of them on after install?

Thanks man!

Once again, your car looks great, loving your wheels

When you order the wheel locks & lugs, I'm assuming you just order the 12x1.25 lug nut size for the Maxima, right? Then I'm guessing that depending on how the mounting holes are on the rims will determine if you go with open/closed and or acorn/bulge, etc, right?

Sorry to threadjack guys. OP: Your car looks great with the new wheels & even better now with that Stillen Lip Kit!

I hope to pickup a new set of wheels this weekend myself! Nothing in the baller Vossen price range though, lol.

Beautiful. Very nice choice. I will admit I am pretty jealous even though I love my stock 19's.

Looks good! Only way Id do 20s is with a drop. But in my opinion I'd rather do a 22 and keep more of the ride quality. Cant lose either way though

You should be able to use the stock lugs but some people user tuner lugs since they are longer or have spline lugs for security. I bought a gorilla tuner lug wrench that had a thin deep socket so it wouldn't scratch my rims

Looks Really good. i dont know how anyone cant talk bad about those rims. im currently rim shopping... its a nightmare. i want to do your same set up but am afraid to pull the trigger on the drop. never had a dropped car before and worried about the premuim to eibach ride difference.

ADAMdlc - the eibach drop is a very mild drop and the ride is phenomenal. I've had it for 2 years now. You can search the forums and see that everyone loves the ride quality.

Dane - the eibach prokit is 1.3 in the front and 1.4 inch Rear drop I believe

seen a lot of new max's w these wheels, 20in is def the biggest you should go even without a drop, keeps it classy, and minimum 8 spokes, good choice looking at these for mine except id want black and chrome rather than machine, i feel like with chrome door trim and emblems and door handles, machine would contrast
