I see those on a LOT of Integras. Not really a wheel that fits the Maxima. But if you like, go with 18x8.

If you like'em, get'em. Dont not get them just because some people on the org say they're ugly.
I personally think the style of the rim doesnt really work with the plain spokes and dont think it would work on any car...but thats just my opinion.

some people will like them and some won't, but if YOU like them, you'll get them (seeing that you get a good price that'll be hard to turn down). now if EVERYONE thinks they're ugly, then that's another story.

i ask the same kind of question a while back and i got quite a few people that didn't like them or thought the rims were TOO common. i ended up getting them anywas...

IMHO there's nothing wrong with the styling, because the trend is 6+ spokes today. But a 17x7 is too small an aftermarket rim for the max. It's not really the 17 vs. 18 vs. 19, it's the width. 8" is the barrier to entry for alot of things, and it's no different with rims.

Well if he had the honeycomb rims, I would agree with you. But seeing that he has a 95 SE, he has the 15" blade style rims, in which case I would say yes, the stock rims look better.
