Thoughts on what kind of rims I should get?

Ok, I currently have 2001 5 spoke rims 16" on my '97 pearl white maxima and I want new rims. I want 18" rims. Any thoughts on what kinda rim I should get? What rims would you guys get if you could buy some. Post some pics if you could.

This post was basically meant for opinions and ideas so I can find some rims. I don't really have rims that I like or seen any thats why I'm asking for opinions.

just keep looking around and you'll find some that are right for you. There are soo many people on the board. Some are going to like the 21" chrome and some will like the modest racing wheels. Just find your style and stick with it.

The Enkei RS6 is a great choice. I also like the Tantrums.

If I were you I would pick a wheel that is available various widths. Go 18X8.5 in the front and 18X9.5 in the back. or maybe 9 int he front and 10 in the back.

Not that those white rims aren't good looking, but your car was so much better with those RS6's! Just MO.

Damn!! It is not just YOUR opinion. It seems to be pretty unanimous across the board. And everyone else wants to get RS6 for their ride...
I shouldn't have sold them...

I like your Kosei!

Why'd you go down to 17" anyway?

Acceleration is slightly better (about 10 fwhp) with lightweight 17" Kosei rims compared to Enkei RS6. Also, I wanted White rims & one set for all seasons.
