New gunmetal Borbet Type E's

I picked up this '95 Max in October and have finally started to get around to it. The rims are 17x8 Borbet Type E's, they were silver but I painted them gunmetal. The suspension hasnt been swapped over, so dont mind the massive gap or the brakes....I just wanted to get some pics up of these.

Looks pretty nice! What kind of paint/clearcoat combo did you use?

duplicolor graphite paint and clear, 3 coats of each. The car will look a lot better once i get the brakes, suspension in and paint the fender...but its a project car so I'm not in a hurry

I didn't realize that the car looked that high stock. With a nice drop the car would look sick. I like the choice of wheels.

It will be dropped, I have 2 max's right now and I am in the process of swapping the parts between the cars. It will be on Ground controls and Illuminas, lowered 2-3". When these tires are worn out I"m going to use 235's instead of 245, these are a little too meaty for me, but they handle quite well. I'll keep pics posted up as I make progress with everything. It's also getting a stillen kit, so all in all the car should look pretty good in the end.

For those of you who commented on the stock height...I think there is something wrong with the suspension that is on this car, it seems very high compared to other maximas. Although, in the pics above, I still have the stock 15's on the other side of the car, so maybe it just tipped the car a little bit, I'm not sure. Here is a pic of my other maxima, with the same rims but before I painted them. I will miss that car and as you can see, with those same rims, on stock suspension, there is a lot less gap on this car.

I've had the MX's on there for the past 2 summers, and I have never had a single problem in the rain, and I push the car even when its wet on the road.

Since its a toasty warm 45 degree day here in Buffalo, when it should be about 10 degrees, I think I'm going to swap out the suspension, or at least half of it and get some pics up later.

Haha I got lazy and didnt swap the suspension over again, but I did put all 4 of the rims on now,and the gap is pretty much back to the normal stock height. Also these pics are out of the garage and in the sunlight, so you can see it better.

Looks good! I love what you did with the wheels too, I think they look a lot better that way.
