Is there any issue for the front center cap not fitting on the Lightening ? I didn't buy because of this but after thinking over and over, I'm shure there is a way to get over this... Damn I still want those wheels, anyone found a fix ?

Does anyone has a pictures of the Lightenig with the staggered set-up ?

Does the price remain the same for 18 x 8 front and 18 x9 rear. I'm really thinking of buying a set when the tax return get in.

Hi Big h, do you know if anyone found a way to put the center cap on in the front wheel for the lightening ( is it ok with spacer ), I though I saw a pic with the center cap on, after thinking over and over I think I will go with the Lightening in Hyper Silver with polish lips 18 x 8 all around. I almost sold my 17 "wheels so I'll have the money in a week or so. I need a new set of wheel anyway, the Lightening are hot but I can live with something else. Can you please let me know, I have a 2k1 maxima with Maxspeed spring but soon I'll be putting KYB AGX + Progress spring.

Cheers

BAD NEWS

The shipment will be delayed another two weeks. I can not believe the mis- information that has been communicated here.

I am so sorry for this guys.

Now I know some of you will be upset. So I am offering the return of the deposit and put this GB on hold until further notice. OR because this has been so delayed, I can offer a $65 off the original price of the 18's (staggered or regular) and $75 off of the 19's set for those of you who have placed deposits with me. I am all about service here and I would like to tough this out.

K Pazzo, I will be emailing you regarding your shipment. Please check your email.

So, I am disappointed here too. But I really want you all to know that I want to provide you all with some up to date info, and that I really want to take care of business too.

I am dying to see pictures of the 19s with the spacers. I still worry that it is going to rub.

My decision to buy these wheels will depend on pics of 19's mounted on a 5th gen, and whether it rubs or not.

this thread is worthless without pics

I would like to see the 18" Hypersilvers (Light or Dark) on a Maxima. Back it up with info saying whether or not it rubs and you could win/lose me in the deal.

Do you only have deals on HP wheels, or other brands as well?

It s hard to say if I will do another one..this one has been delay after delay. I'm going to get this one done first and go from there.

There are a few pics of 18's, but non with spacers.

Right here http://www.cardomain.com/member_page...=391535&page=1
or go back one page on this thread. You really should read the rest of this thread. It will not rub depending on the rubber you get. 45 sidewall ratio should be okay.

Hey Big h, after looking at some member pics, I think I found a way for the Lightening's center cap to fit on maxima, after looking from close I'm almost positive we can cut the front stud lets say by 3/8 of an inche then the center cap should fit no problem. My TMW are almost gone, so I will need a new set of wheel very soon, can you still sell me the Lightening 18 x 8 all around ? If you need a deposit no problem then I can send by paypal.

Cheers

I called HP in miami 2 days ago & they told me same thing...that container of HP rims are scheduled to come 3-31-04 w/ over 800+ rims inside of it.....I guess shipment came earlier then expected.
I'm also saying this for those that doubted Harry, it REALLY wasnt his fault & it was something he had no control of.


p.s. Harry dont FORGET about me

Do hubcentric rings work with spacers? My current rims(17x8 adr enigmas) shook like crazy at anything over 30mph till I got rings...wondering if this will be a problem with these wheels if spacers are used?

Yup, the hub rings will just slide onto the hubcentric wheel spacers.

Josh and Scopium, you sure can.

Wheel and tire packages:

If HP can get their hands on the rubber (Falken 512's 245/40/18)
18" wheel and tire package
$1270 (used to be $1225 but HP changed its pricing)
Shipped anywhere within Cont US

If HP can get their hands on the rubber (Falken 502's 245/35/19)
19" wheel and tire package
$1775
Shipped anywhere within Cont US

Of course this will slow down the process for you, because HP does not stock rubber, so they normally have to wait for it.
