nice rims but to me, strictly to me, the spokes look a little thin. Just my opinion

You're car has come a long. Nice job

They look like ICON wheels. Which are REALLY light

Looks good. With my hyper black bumper lights it'll look better

Thanx folks...the rims and tires are light...they are wrapped in Falken 512s and they stick to the road.

I do know that some complain about the soft side wall of the tires, but in all honesty, I love the ride...makes the suspension feel stock and smooth, just not a harsh ride at all

What sizes are those, my gut instinct tells me maybe 16's, but not quite, They look nice, but I would of opted for 17-18's IMHO. Either way, looking good!

Pimp. I like em. I hear you on the 17's too. My rims are somewhat similar in terms of style and I wanted to get 18's but no way with Boston roads how they are right now. I gotta post pics of mine one I get the Nissan center caps and have a chance to polish up the car.

Brilliant!

Seriously, those look really good. Are you on the H&Rs as well? Those 17's look small in the wheelwells...I love the style, and they look good, btu they do not look huge.

Of course, I am on 15"s, so you know I don't care about running huge rims. I actually stepped DOWN in size.

Anyway, they look great. Nice to see your ride coming together.

Pat,

Thank you sir...its been some time coming...as you know...I realize that the rims don't look big/huge, but you know the whole practicality thing...plus larger is not always better, its all about the motion in the ocean...

I saw that you're now on the BBS 15s, and even bought another set....wife letting you spend some $$???...lol...oh yea...still on the H&Rs...u know...I think this is how the maxima should come stock! (supension wise)

Very nice, makes me wish I had gone with more of a gunmetal/hyperblack finish. I hear you on the 17s, I'm from pittsburgh and I'm used to the same crappy penndot roads. 18s would look even better though.

Those are 17's? Wow, the larger sidewall must of thrown me off. Either way, looking good. How is the driving with the 235's? Do they grab ruts really easily?

Yeah, I wish I could put tires that wide on my 2nd gen. Unfortunately I'm stuck at 225 tops with rubbing.
