So Im getting ready to order my rims tonight from wheelsnext and Im just trying to see whats a neccesity and whats not. I am getting just the giovanna califive rims, without the tires package. but it comes with and installation kit for 39.99 which includes chrome bolts or lug nuts as well as chrome valve stems and hubcentric rings. It also includes wheels locks for 25.99 which i feel would be a good idea to protect myself. The rims are 22x9 by the way. Thanks for your help gang!

 

I would w/o a doubt get those locks, Im sure the thieves will start drooling when they see ur car sittin on Gio's.

 

yea but u think i can skip the install kit. SG you been my voice of reason since day one evn tho i know you dont approve of 22s

 

make sure you post pics, and watch out for those potholes, I've already replaced 3 of the giovannas on my max

 

these are cast wheels aren't they?

 

Depends on the type of wheel locks. Thieves can easily get the wheels off with cheap locks. I think "Gorilla" is supposed to make the best wheel locks. For the valve stems, you're gonna need the tire pressure monitors unless you want the light to come on ever time you start the car.

 

well I was just gonna have the light be on cuz I dont want to pay to switch them back and fourth

 

You got 22s tho Car addict hows the ride quality and what kind of tires do you have? can you provide specs too?

 

on smooth roads it feels pretty close to the 18s. Just a little stiffer on rough pavement. The wheels are 22x8.5 35 offset. 245/30/22 fullway tires.

 

Adversely affect everything as in what? I've had plus size wheels on 4 cars, and besides ride quality (small difference) and mpg, nothing has been affected. As long as you stay within reasonable overall height to the stock tires, the car will be fine. If you have to lift or cut up your car just to fit wheels, then i could understand.

 

My how we've drifted off topic. OP didn't ask for you all to dump your opinions, he asked a legit question. Stick to the topic please.

 

Congrats Bro but

 

I had pics posted but somehow my post got blocked or deleted...anyway here u go

 

I forgot to add that for an additional 225 I can get the road hazard insurance for 2 years...on the fence about that too> We have a place called wheel medic that repairs rims for fairly cheap it they were to get bent but im not sure if i should just opt for the insurance

 

I do disapprove of 22's just bc Im a sporty kinda guy, 22s are too luxurious. But these wheels you are getting are absolute beauts RKing, I would go with the install kit, Just so you have a nice set of bolts that will be safe for the wheels.

 

Good choice on the rims man! I suggest you skip all that BS they are trying to sell you, instead put in your pressure monitors and go to the local parts store and get gorilla locks those things are way better then anything some wheel website is trying to sell you.

Btw BB you think its a big prob going from a car that comes with stock 19s to 22s? Its only 3 inches its the same as cars that come with 15s and 16s and people throw 18s and 19s on them and you guys approve of that, so I don't know what kind of logic you and others that are scared of big wheels are following.

 

1. check my pics, I'm pretty sure I have a lambo so I automatically win 2. why don't you just buy an m3 it will save you a ton of work? Oh and btw m3 wheels don't come in 20's haha so once again you are still a joke. This is where you put your tail between your legs

 

3. Who uses bomb diggity

 

Man, I like em a lot, plus they're black (my rims are as well). Please post some nice pics of them from all angles.

I couldn't really tell from that angle but how deep is that dish?

 

dont order their lugs or locks....I ordered my first set of wheels from them and the lugs/locks were identical to the ones you get at autozone with the generic key that there are actually only like 7 keys for all the sets. And they sent the wrong thread pitched lugs

 

As soon as I get em I'll
Post real pics!

 

nice wheels and whats funny is i had 22s on 7 months last year and it road better then the goodyear rta 19s that came stock on my maxima good chose on wheels.

 

not surprised. when i had a charger i had 22s with cheap kumho tires and then 24s with pirellis and the 24s road smoother and quieter than the 22s.

 

case & point that rubber is crucial in ride quality. I have Pirellis on my 22's on my truck and when its warm out they ride great, when its cold not so much. Quality of tire and temperature are key factors that dictate ride quality, obv not the only factors but its very important to buy good rubber

 

Nice work 2009maxima sv-sport, those rims look amazinggg!!

 

I agree with the tires comment, crappy tires equal crappy ride. Good tires like pirelli equal good ride even if you slapped 24s on your car.

 

Copped em today!

 

Damn so wheelsnext just called me and told me that Giovanna doesn't even have the rims yet since they are so new and it's goin to be 4 weeks before I get them...kinda pissed I was termed to have them soon!

 

i know this is an old thread, but who cares what kind of respect you get from a scene....?
and where are the pics!?

 

I have heard alot of negativity from Wheels Next. Google reviews and the BBB. I wanted to order from them, but they have a horrible rating.

Have they changed? if possible.

 

Man wheels next was an absolutely nightmare to deal with after wait 8 months they cancelled my order without notice and I had to file a dispute with my cc company. Never again will I feel with them

 

OUCH man....that's no bueno at all.....hope all works out.

 

Are u still goin with 22"? Its just a lotta problems.
20" with nice lower offset would look better, save u money on tires and give u better ride. 30 series on 22 will raise your car to a strange looking height and the weight! The horrors!!

 

Agree 100%

 

I have set of 20x8.5 +35 offset with falken 452 255-35-20 I will be selling next week if anyone is interested.
Email me if interested g69m2001@yahoo

Rims are Giovanna momentum chrome
W black inserts

 

Dont quote me but I beleive giovanna, mrr, verde, lexani all have the same style in their catalog just with different logos.
