I do not know a whole lot about cars but am getting very interested after getting addicted to this site and seeing all the cars. I want to get some rims, but Im not sure if it is the right time with winter here in Chicago. Salt is everywhere at this time and I do not know if this is a good time to purchase them. I really think they would look ghood on my 95 GLE
What size???
Thanks

TRY TO WAIT TILL SPRING

It will be better IMO to get your wheels in the spring.. I would go with 18" if I were you.

You can buy them now if you wash them regularly and take good care of them...but, I must warn you, you're gonna wanna lower it too when you see those beautiful 17's with the HUGE damn Nissan wheel gap

If you want a set of rims then get it!

If your worried about the salt and weather, just leave the factory rims on till springs & summer. I have 2 sets of rims so it works for me. Chrome rims for the spring, summer, and fall. Then my MB Motoring rims for the winter w/ snow tires.

As far as size. Both my sets of rims are 16x7. I would say either go for a 16x7 or 17x7.5 for the Maxima.
