What year Max did Nissan started to switch the rims to the web looking type versus the straight lines?

 

2012 is the model year they made the switch.

That is also the year they changed the front grille as well as the tail lights.

I bought the sport 2012 rims, grille, and tail lights and put them on my car. Definitely looks better than the 09-11 setup.

 

Funny. I like the 2009 Rims, grille and tail lights MUCH better. Much cleaner looking. My taste favors classic clean configurations and dislikes broken up 'modern' looking..

 

Lmao okay bro. Never heard someone call OEM parts broken up modern looking but we are all entitled to our opinions so I respect it, might actually look better with you cars color scheme but I prefer the 2012 stuff on my navy blue sport.

 

I agree with u, the current tail lights do look good on the darker cars, but on the light colored cars I'd prefer the red tail lights. Also the new grill is much better then the other one. The only thing I don't like is the current 18 inch rims, idk what it is but they are hideous

 

Yes exactly, on light colored cars all you need with the older taillights is to smoke them and they look perfect. The newer grille is definitely an improvement but yeah the 2012 standard 18s are a bit weird looking.

I prefer the 09-11 18s but I prefer the 12-present 19s, mainly the dark gray ones.

I have the 2012 hyper silver 19s and I want to get then painted dark gray. I think I'm going to plasti dip them in that new charcoal gray.

 

I have the 18s that you find on the 2012+ Maxima, you can see the vehicle in my signature. I searched for quite a while to find a dealership with a specific silver 2014 SV with the Sport Package that comes with the dark gray painted 19s. The dealership I went to had both in stock, and side-by-side the 18s are painted a darker gray. The Sport SV with the 19s was out of my price range, but I've grown to like the 18s on my car and I am very happy with it.
