They are nearly PERFECT. Just freshly refinished these wheels have only a few tiny belimsihes that you can only see when 6 inches away. I love em love em love em.

Question: The finish of them seems to be of high quality but they don't have the same look as my moms 98 se altima. Her wheels almost seem to have a polyerethane(sp) like coating on them. This is more of a coarser silver matte finish. Should I wax the hell out of them anyways? Would you guys wax em?

 

Sounds like they are painted instead of clearcoated. I wax my painted rims. It helps keep the brake dust from sticking.

 

nice Mike!
have you thrown' em on yet?

WHAT NO WAY.....you know the weather.

But really....I have to get tires, spacers(so they will fit in the rear) and money. Maybe in a month or so. I'm hoping to get the guages tomm so I can work on them on sunday. I just had the weather channel on......lows in the 10's Sun, mon, and tue....

 

right?

I am gonna be getting these rims pretty soon and want to make sure I get the spacing right!

what size tires are you using?

 

I'm getting 1/4inch for all four corners. I know I would NEED them in the rear....esp with the eibachs. There is literaly like room for one finger between the strut and the tire.

I'll be getting 225/50....either sp8000's or kuhmo 712's. It should provide some sweet handling. The z rims 7.5 which is a whole inch wider than the 16's from the maxima. Using a 225 over a 215 should provide better grip but the real jem is the fact that the 225 physcially sits better on the 7.5 than a 215 on a 6.5.

Make sense?

 

yeah Mike.. this weather is ridiculous... i'm soooo ready for it to get warm so that i can give my baby a good cleaning and waxing.... i hear you on the wheels though!! are you planning on keeping the stocks and swapping them out as winters come on hand?
