Those cost a pretty penny, definately not immys. I am not a big fan of the white wheels, but I always say they only belong on a white car and that is what you have.

i don't like them... partly because they are white. I was never a fan of white rims, but to each his own. maybe they will look better when they are on your car.

Not bad. They might work. Some white wheels do. Throw up some installed pics when you can.

Nice rims! Not a big fan of white wheels, but they would look good on your white car. Be sure to post tons of pics when you get them on.

Nothing wrong with Volks and white color rims as long as your max is white too.

+30mm is a great offset for us. Might stick out a little too much in front, but probably not. You should have no brake clearance issues with +30, that's a low offset for a Maxima.

Nice rims. All you have to do is put a nice glaze on them to protect them.

To add my opinion, I think white rims look tight on white cars. I'm not so sure about the blue lettering. I think they'd probably look much better without the lettering (do they look like they could be removed without much work?) but who knows, the blue accent might look sweet.

the blue writing are stickers, i way thinking of just keeping the rays engineering one on and ditching the volk roacing sticker.

I really like how the butt dyno feels, but i havent really opened it up due to a bent control arm from when i hit the curb.

Im having it looked at by a couple of guys that work for nissan.
