Wow, those are nice. I know a guy who has 18" Tantrums, powercoated white on a superblack Maxima. Looks really tight.


What are the specs on those wheels? 17" or 18"? Are they heavy? What kind of tires? And finally, how much total?

I think 17's are about 20 lbs... yes our 17's are sumos compared to these.

Question?
Why does everyone say "I dont like Konig". I like konigs I dont see anything wrong with them. I do agree that to many people are getting the Konig Monsoond though.

Sorry about the delayed response....

I've been running a million miles a day recently.... the tires aren't the greatest in the world, but they stick a TON better then my old garbage ones... They are dunlop SP Sport W10 215/40 ZR rated 17

I actually went for 40 profile instead of 45 which is what everyone runs on their 17's, just because I knew once I dropped it, the lower profile tire would look much better!

The ride is a tad worse, but not too much... acceleration, I can't tell a difference at all, but I am still not used to the extra grip of the tires.... so give me another week and I meet be like, dang, my car is slow.

I paid 769$ shipped (shipping was 150!!!!) for them used w/ the tires that have about umm I cant remember, a few thousand miles on them. Got a pretty good deal I thought, since I needed new tires anyway.

All in all I am VERY happy I got them!!! Ever since I got my car I wanted these or monsoons.... and finally decided way too many people have monsoons now (I do love them though!!!), and the price was right. Now I just gotta save up (I'm buying way too much crap for this car right now!) for springs/struts... any suggestions on where I can get H&R springs and Tokico shocks? ? ?

I see you dumped the 15" SE rims. How is your ride different today? What size rim and tire. How did this change the car?

see my very first post...

Are you looking at my signature pic? It still has my stock wheels, I have yet to update it.... Look back at page 1 of this post, I got 17" konig tantrums with 215/40 dunlop tires.

Those wheels look sweet. I am looking into getting a set for myself, but I don't want to get 17" cuz I don't have much money plus I would have to lower it. Does anyone know if the 16" Tantrums will fit a 2000 Maxima?
