Rate these Rims

I need some opinions on these rims. Which one would look good on a beige color max? Also should I get 18x7.5 or 18x8? Or 17x7.5 or 17x8. Also what tire size should I get that have some rubber separating the rim and the road.

Here are the rims

Volk GT-C


Volk GT-P


Also if any you guys have photshop skillz, can you photoshop these rims on a beige color max?

Thanks

18x8" GT-P

If you get either 17 or 18, the GT-P is much better looking IMO.

18x8 GT-C is you have the cash if not 17x8 will do, and you better lower that high riding 4th gen

I got the gc/agx combo so the lowering is taken care of. Does anyone know the weight of these rims?

i'd guess in the 15-18 lbs range depending on whether they're 18s or 17s.

i say definitely get 18s. i regret getting 17s on my 4th gen.

You sure the rims in the picture are the FWD offsetted ones? I'm not sure you will have that deep of a dish for only a 8" wide rim

I like the GTP but not on a Maxima... it looks more like a wheel you should see on a Skyline or Supra, in like 18x11" size hehe. The GT-C I don't really dig at all.

The GTP is 19.5 lbs in 17x9 so that gives you an idea of the weight of those. I don't have a clue on the GTC.

i like the second one better, the first one looks kinda generic to me.
