First of all it is very commendable for Stillen to be one of the leading companies to do performance and body stuff for Maximas....but look at what I was thinking about.....

Stillen pushes MOMO wheels which we all know are very heavy so when you buy Momos from Stillen by them being so heavy they slow your car down in speed,acceleration and then you will neeed a bigger brake upgrade to stop these big heavy rims....and ironically Stillen sells Y-pipes and Super chargers,brake upgrades for the Maxima sounds like a commercial scheme to me....after you get the Momos you will "NEED" a s/c,y-pipe etc...to commpensate for the heavy Momo rims......TRUE or NOT>>>>>please post some replys......
this is some of my thoughts....William......GOT KIDS? I do two sons.......

I think they just happen to like Momo rims. IMO, I think they have some of the nicest, cleanest, most attractive rims you can get on a Max. Let's face it not everyone cares about speed as much as looks. Look at the amount of heavy 20" rims out there. Nothing wrong with them, it's just what people want.

i guess... but i mean, people who buy expensive rims usually know a little bit about them. If you're buying Momo Arrows, you know they weigh a lot, but you don't care. Do you really think people buy the rims and then mount them and go "dayum... this cars slow all of the sudden, wonder what it could be??" heh

I had the extremes on my Civic and hated how they looked when they spinned. The arrows are a nicer rim, but i don't care much for Momo as a brand. I knew that the 20's I put on would way more than my 3 Rottweilers put together but I just like the show aspect of this sport. I was thinking about buying a 94 vette and modding it up just so I had something fast to drive when I got the urge. Interesting theory though, although I doubt there is any truth to it... Momo probably just made them the right offer, dollar wise, and they wouldn't have cared if their rims weighted a pound each. It's all about the chedda'.
