Opionions on these wheels needed.. *pic* ---->

Velox Nova

I don't know how much they weigh but they can be had for under 600$ shipped in 17 x 7.5" in Gun metal or Silver.

What do you guys think?

gun metal is a bit to dark for me, do they have a dark silver or something like it?

These are definitely better. To be honest, I don't like the first one at all.

Agreed. The subzeros definately look better, and they are very light weight for such a low price. They are listed as 16 lbs. but some members have measured theirs at under 15 lbs at that size.

Good point. Please don't tell us you going to put the wheels on without dropping the car. That would be hideous.

Both of those wheels are sold in 5 lug with the suitable for maxima offset. There are a few people on here that have both of these wheels.

As far as the drop.. most definately

I've been holding out on the wheels and the drop hoping to find a good deal on something mildly used. Looks like I'm just going to go ahead and buy new.

The first two wheels are hideous. The 5zigens are cool. But open wheels are hard to keep clean on the insides. I would have to wipe them down twice a week.

yeah

they are within a similar price range and they weigh relatively low... like the other 2..

As far as Open rims go.
I agree

I don't like open wheels that much either.. but there are hardly any good looking styles that are affordable and somewhat reasonable in weight.

I'm open for suggestions guys
