That is a ****ign awsome price on the rims. I payed like 700 shipped about 4 or 5 months ago. They are great and I think they weight less than 25 lbs. I thought they were like 20 lbs each, go to

http://members.cardomain.com/spanishrice

I have pictures of my 18 x 8's. They are beautiful in person. You have to get a bigger offset than 38 though. That is what I got and our axle bolts are too long. The center caps do not fit in the back or front. I have not seen a better set of rims in Houston than mine except some really nice ones on a M3.

Do you mean it's going to rub ? cuz I was seriously thinking of using my tax return to buy the HP wheels, 18 x 8 in front and 18 x 9 in the rear, anyone has a similar set up ? I need to be shure it's going to fit no rub.

Can you please let me know.

Hi big h, thank you for the reply on my question about rubbing, I'm selling my other wheels actually, I got few peoples interested, so I will probably confirm my order in the next few days, for 2x (18 x 8 )+ 2x ( 18 x9) Hyper Silver with polish lips can you let me know how much will it cost to ship ground to H1A 2W8 ( Montreal Qc, Canada ) can you please confirm the total with shipping at: dblea@videotron.ca

Cheers

Hey Harry, I had a couple quick questions:

1. I see you are in Canada...Are these wheels shipping from the US? If so, from where?
2. How long will it take to get the wheels?
3. What service do you use to ship?
4. Will we receive tracking numbers with each shipment?
5. If I pay you first thing tomorrow, will they ship out tomorrow?

Thanks!

I currently have two interested people here in Canada for the 18's, not sure where they stand as in paying. If anything, I can sell these two sets to those that have cash in their hands and are ready to go, and then get another couple sets from the shipment arriving in Feb for anyone who can not pay right now...

Thank you Luquire...thats excellent.

I would not advise 18x9's in the front. I have an 8.5" wide in the front and it very close to rubbing the plastic skirt in the fenderwell when I turn the wheel all the way...i think it would rub.

Anyone interested in the 19's?

The finish available for the 18's is hypersilver only

The 19's are hypersilver dark

I've lowered the price on the 19's, after I just got off the phone with HP.

Yeah, pretty heavy rims but they look so nice. Isn't the weight of these pretty much the same as 2k+ stock SE rims?
bigh, does HP not carry the 18x8 Lightnings in hypersilver dark or is that you don't have them in this round of this GD?

I have included **free of charge** 4x 1/4" spacers for the front and rear wheels. It looks like the center hub on the 4th gen Maxima's is taking up some space where the center cap snaps into...so I am sending 4 of these spacers to clear that issue inorder for the center cap to seat properly.

Thanks for the heads up spanishrice...check your PM

yo big harry

hold me a set of 19" lightnings....i'm like 80% sure i'm gettin them. just need to decide 1 more thing.
i'm sorry but i have to ask.....what are the general opinions of durability for these wheels. the NYC streets like to challenge many rims, and very few live to tell about it . i'd like some reassurance that i won't be left stranded with a cracked wheel. that's the 20% left in my decision process.

Henrik, they only offer the 18x7.5 in a 4 hole application now. Your only option is to go to an 18x8, which will be $300 shipped.

I have one set of 19's available, the rest are coming to Canada. Sorry for the short notice. I just got off the phone with my rep and his manager basically said to ship the wheels instead of sitting on them. Man, my rep is sooo cool for trying to hold the shipment for as long as he could.

So Canada, your wheels are coming!

For those of you still interested in the 19's and reside in the States, I will be taking pre-orders ($50 non refundable), to ensure that you have a set off of the new shipment (which is in two weeks) Hyper silver light or dark. Again, they have my credit card on file and if I have a list of people committed, it will be easier and quicker to ship the wheels, and my rep doesn't have to put his neck out on the line.

I'll start the list as soon as I get the pre orders.

So 1 set 0f 19x8.5 left...who wants it? First to Paypal me gets it.

All I can say is NY roads suck!

PoLo, i can't guarantee that. This wheel is very popular and very few remarks have been made about it. I say go for it!
