Enkei CP1 18x8.5, what do you guys think?

Well, I have all but given up trying to find a gunmetal 18x8"+ rim for a decent price, it's been an impossible search. So I am considering these:


http://www.discounttire.com/dtc/find...885&path=wheel

They remind me of the stock SVT Lightning rims, I like 'em. It says that they are silver powder coat with a glossy finish and a machined lip, but I see no lip. They are $180 a peice which is definatally affordable, I don't know their weight however.

What do you guys think?

yea
i like those

if you must get something withOUT a lip.. get a nice 5 spoke design.. MM Evos, Moda R6s.. etc..
those are cool but I hope those little lines on each spoke are not painted on..
otherwise.. nice

Wow, difference in opinions...I think the RPM2's are ugly as sin and would look even uglier on a max.

Someone wanna photoshop the CP-1's on my ride? Would be much appriciated...I don't think ANY Maxima has these rims.

Yeah, I have 17x8 caffeines as of now.

I just need to find some pics from the rear of any max with 8.5" rims...gotta make sure it's wide and aggressive enough.

2000SE, those rims are nice looking, but not the look I am going for.

I like em, those rims are nice and a good size without trying to be over flashy.

Are those a somewhat new style? I've never seen them before. I think they look tight, but not too sure how they'd look on a Max though...

I think those wheels are too "blocky" for the round 4th gen.

I agree.

Dave, you say they look blocky but until we see one photoshopped onto a 4th gen we will never know...who knows..they might look good. It's hard to put them together in your mind.
