Damn I think it's gonna look like a riced out Honda with those. They don't go well with the car at all.

Red wheels on a maxima, especially a SILVER maxima is just a no no IMO. if you were gonna do something like that, the time attack style would of been better instead but still would be dum cause i don't find maximas really track worthy to sport that...i just contradicted myself.
red, green, pink whatever uncommon color wheels suite wrx, sti's, evos, and 240sx's better
or even porsches

ricey. especially because they serve no purpose as a performance set-up being that they are skinny 18's with one of the cheapest tires available.

I think it'll look better from the rear then from the front since there's more red in the back (tails and rear side markers).

Not feeling it either, but they might work. I test fitted the same tire size as you have on those and they look extremely small on my car. You might want to change the tires. The offset on those may be a little too high as well. I would look into using spacers for them.

Are you going to paint the mudguards red too?
