What do you think of my new rims?

I just brought a new set of 18x7.5 konig unknown rims wrapped with kumho asx 225/40/18 tires. i think the rims look nice. the black spokes goes along real well with my car color. i need your opinions on the rims. i was thinking about getting another set of rims but i am not sure i guess i have to get used to the looks.

not my personal taste, but not bad. they match the car well. little skinny tho. and yeah a decent drop will do wonders in the looks department.

there's a guy in this area with those in 19s on his max. Don't like them on his, and don't like them in 18s. They look TINY with monster wheel gap. Sorry.

#1: wheel gap sucks and makes all rims look 1-2 inches smaller then they are.
#2: Lowered maximas ride horribly at least in compairison to stock. ride in others with the springs and shocks your thinking of getting 1st before doing it. Im really serious.
#3: I would say 19'' look best on a maxima 20'' to big and 18'' to small. but thats me. Also 20's ride like sheat as you have 0 sidewall and will bend a rim guaranteed.
#4: Gratz on the new rims!

edit: oh and unless you mod your car for orgers if you like em keep em. don't let us with our stupid opinions and thoughts cloud your judgement. IT's YOUR CAR. mod it how YOU want to.

I think you need like 20hours of detailing and polish applied to the car so they can be as shiny as those new rims.

They look cool from far away, you should lower your car to lessen the gap.

If you're serious about modding your car, do it for yourself and stop being so fickle. Just because some other people don't like the rims you're going to sell them just like that? If YOU like the look, keep them.

Even though I don't like the design of the rims, I think they match the car pretty well, and it'll look much better once you get some lowering springs (with the right struts/shocks too of course) or coilovers.

And yeah, what size tires are those?

I saw those same rims on a civic at my job. They look fine on it but they're not working for your car.

i think they look good. maybe add some chrome accents to areas of the car to help it flow better.

i mean, i have to agree with everyone it'd look better with a drop. though, i also realize not everyone wants to go ahead and do that to their cars.

Whatever you decide on, be sure to get proper sized tires.

I like them. I think the silver accents and the window chrome go well together. a drop would do it justice.

I saw a black VW bug in LBI the other day with those on it, looked pretty good

i like them, i have never seen mixed before. Thats neat. Just remember. Youre opinion is what matters love. Im just looking at the wheels. Im not paying attention to any gap. I dont really like lowering a car for no reason <3 Good luck

I like them to be honest - match the car perfect but as other have said a drop the car and it would be much better

I also agree that 19"s are prob the best size for your maxima's cause of the wheel gap we have.

It all come down to what you like though - who cares what the rest of us think - i mean as long as your not ricing it out or painting it pink like the famous "pink Maxima on ebay" - right?
