personally i think monsoons are so played out... although a few maximas have type e's you don't see them on too many other cars and I think they are one of the nicest rims for a max.

This should be very obvious

Type Es all the way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

They look much better than the Monsoons.

The type E gives the car a little bit of that German feel, kinda like the Mercedes E class. Well, Borbet is German after all!

How long are you willing to wait to buy new rims. I will probably be selling mine in a couple of months.

Iron Lung,
wow! those Type E(s) look awesome. Sooooo much better than the Monsoons, maybe just the way they look on the your car. What will be your asking price? They are soo clean, the Konig Monsoons are a little busy..........

ArticMax:
You are correct very German looking

Guys Thanks for all your input, I think the Monsoons will be for sale in the very near future

Probably 700 for rims and tires. The tires are 235/45/27 bf goodrich g-force kdw. The tires have about 9,000 miles on them at this point.
But I need to wait a little bit to save for new wheels. Cash is going to be tight because I'm about to get the car painted and put on a stillen kit.

John: I think the largest they come in is 17x8.

GTR-Rider: What kind of rims do you have?
