Finally got new wheels-just installed a few hours ago

I decided to go with a slightly different look. I'm still getting used to the look.

I like both setups. I think I like this one a little bit more. Did you pull off the black from the window trim?

Like the wheels, color/lip looks good, much better than those black Z33s IMO.

The seats are AMAZINGLY comfortable! I mean damn! The car even has this aroma of fresh leather which is nice! So worth the money is you plan on keeping your car for long term, I've never been happy with stock maxima seats and I have had 2 sets, 1 cloth and 1 leather.

Loving the new wheel setup. And the seats are super fresh. Are they any lighter than stocks, or you just doing it for looks?

Good seats can make a car. I installed leather Recaros in my 6th Gen a few years back and its one of my favorite mods.

aftermarket > oem wheels

Those wheels are better than the oem wheels u had, but I think the lip sets it off good. Bit if u can't get use to it and want the all black theme again, I would say go for wheels that don't have a lip.

Lol at name brand wheels for bragging rights, I think u meant to say name brand wheels with "aggressive" off set is for bragging rights. To me cheap wheels is like buying cheap shoes for yourself...

^to each their own, you can easily find a 'cheap' set of wheels w/ aggressive offsets and widths. comparing shoes to wheels is not comparable. i doubt any of us go to walmart to buy shoes to go out in. maybe some to work in but thats the extent of it.

just like manny said, name brand wheels are more for bragging rights, at the end of the day, i cant see spending $2k plus for a set of wheels just because of the name brand. ESPECIALLY as quick as i get tired of wheels
