Ok, I am very close to buying a set of '97 SE wheels.

I was "lurking" on TireRack.com today and found out that I can get a set of 15" Borbet Type E Wheels SHIPPED TO ME for under the price of the '97 SE wheels.

I know they are only 15" but, we are talking <b>BRAND NEW</b> wheels versus 4 year old '97 SE wheels!!

What do you guys think?? Should I get the new wheels or go for the 16s??

I have stock 15" size rims and I am keeping my stock size do what you want......though everyone's got 16"-20" on there cars but I cannot afford those BAR's(Big A$$ Rims) I like them but cannot afford them so I will stay with 15" they are not that bad I mean they came on the car in the first place you know,but some people say go big but I say to them YOU buy me the big rims and I will get them.....Also I would not get some stock rims from another Maxima or stay with the factory rim style they look good now,but get some good aftermarket rims.......

Another benefit is I already have tires!! I'll probably wait until spring to get them though!! =) Who knows, maybe by then, I can afford the 16s!!

I just bought rims to fit my existing tires when I gought the car the tires were brand new so it was no need to buy new tires too so I just bought rims to fit my tires and sold my stock rims I have now 205/65R15 and when these tires wear out I am going to a lower profile 225/60R15

Low profile tires and 15" wheels = big no no.

Wouldn't you have a huge wheel gap?

I already have lowering springs for a drop of 1.5" all around and I'm only "dropping" in profile from 65mm to 60mm so only 5mm in drop and I will not have a big gap it already sits low now with my 15" rims and it looks good,Thank You for the concern I have checked it out already and I know what look I am trying to accomplish.....

Borbet wheels is very very cheap(price wise), the 17" is under $200 I think. So good bang for the bulk if you ask me.

Go with the 16 inch SE's
