To have a "dish" like you want, the whole face of the wheel needs to be sunken in, and that would be a true dish. No part of the wheel should come out too far.

Yeah, how many white Maxima's have you seen with Mods? Do you know anything about wheels? They build wheels to "curve" inward like you say because the offsets dictate that is needed if you're also designing a wheel with a lip. 95% of your posts on this forum have been negative, so once I see you say something constructive or benefical, I'll act like I care.

I've seen a lot of maximas with mods. Quite a few people have posted pics. And yes, i do know a lot about wheels. The ones with spokes inward is just for the appearance of having a large "lip." A quality wheel with a low disk, even if high offset, can have a good amount of lip. The entire face of the wheel is recessed, and they're usually made for the rear since brake clearance would be limited.
And btw, i do try to keep all the comments constructive. Perhaps people only want to hear that their car is the coolest on earth, even if it's totally the opposite. Just opinions though, so it's all good. Keep up the great work on your car!

my impressions:
tim, your car looks great, as always.
your buddys...eh...
- I still hate chrome wheels, and that design would look better in gunmetal...
- Engine bay looks really nice
- I like the Thermal exhaust better than the other.....the new ones look like twin bazooka launchers...a bit of overkill IMO.
- that license plate looks like a way of attracting the wrong attention. Does your buddy road race?
Road racing = on a real racetrack 'road course'
Street racing = ricers dragging on public roads...

mmmmm delicious... that car is one sexiness that cannot be refuted... it seems to be the same length as ur 5th Gen Max, I guess thats what a Max would look like if it was a coupe... how fast does both ur cars run for?
