I say go for it if you like it. Who cares if someone think it doesn't look good, it's not their car. People want to be a bit different sometimes. If we all do the same thing, how boring would that be? Exactly!

I think black rims on a white max could look pretty good (they would contrast better), but WHITE rims on a BLACK max...not so appealing. But hey if that's what you like go ahead, it's all about havin your own style.

If they're performance-oriented then it's all good.

Re: White rims on a black max?

I originally thought that it would be a bad match, but 2 of the cleanest cars I've ever seen were black with white rims. Both were sports cars (RX-7 and a MR-2) but it was very striking.
If you go to tirerack.com, you can see a Maxima with white Kosei K1 Racings or O.Z. F1 Racings (both are 6 spoke). I'm not sure if that's the best rim (I think a thick 5 spoke wheel would look very nice).
The AT Italia 5 Razze is a very bright silver and may give you a decent idea of a what a white 5 spoke wheel might look like

There's another post announcing a group deal on Rota Subzero and Slipstream wheels. If you follow a link in one of the posts, you'll be able to find a special buy on Slipstreams (available in white) for I think $100ea. The crazy part was that they said they weigh in at _13.5_ lbs. Yikes! They were 16x7 40mm offset on the site with the special, and the group deal had 45mm offset (but I don't know the size).

I think it looks nice. I mean it's not as if silver doesn't contrast black, might as well be white. I actually don't like the look of white on white, it's a little too plain IMO.

I wouldn't put white rims on a Max PERIOD. That's just me though...honestly, it wouldn't look that bad. Just make sure they're big, and as long as you like them.

Noooooo! Don't even think about it bro. Stick with your idea for gunmetal. I'll take it away from you if you do that. And I know where you live.
I do like the white on Pillagers car though. Especially after seeing it in person.

Not bad...

From the pics I've seen so far it doesn't look as bad as I thought. It all boils down to personal preference. Do watcha like.

I think the white rims on a black 5th gen with clears would be tolerable. Other than that... there's too much attention to the rims. I'd rather have people looking at my car... not my wheels.

Has anyone seen those crazy rims that come on some MB AMG's? I saw one thats black... and has red shadowing the inside of it. Now if a black maxima were to put black rims with the white shadowing on the inside of it... wouldn't be too shabby at all.
