Pretty nice. Post a pic when they're fitted nicely on the Maxima. They'll look better from that view.

i bent one of the 19 the 2nd day i had them they had i 2 inch lip on them and that was very weak i had to be to carfull with them and they where very heave. i have eibach springs so on the 19 the car felt like crap with 17 the bigger tires make the ride better. plus i like the 17lb thing too.

No offense, but 17x7" tuner wheels belong on Eclipses and Civics.

"17 x 7 tuner wheels belong on Civics and

Acuras"? Hey, I resemble that!! And u know what? I dont need -nor want- anything bigger than that:

- I have 225 rubber -which is more than I'll ever need for 98% of all the miles that will ever go on that car.
- I have veeeerrry light wheels and tires -which come in handy to out-accelerate any other normal, stock 3-liter SE, all else being equal.
- The wheels gave me all the space I needed for kick-butt brakes.
- My ride is sweet-smooth -because I have a reasonable sidewall to absorb a bit of the bumps.

So, dont be upset if in a real-world situation I
a) beat you
b) Drive the same distance as you might drive but get there much fresher, less tired and beat up than u do
c) save $$$$ on tire replacements when I finally get to need them.
d) save a bit of fuel versus you car
e) make life much better & comfy for my passengers

PS: when I get my 15mm spacers for the rear, my car will look just at good -if not better and more 'balanced'- than those with much wider wheels....

maxGTR...good move!

17s... wow.. what the hell were you thinking?? 17s look like crap on a maxima, and the weight thing is nonsense because my 19s weigh 15lbs each; bad decision on my part.

True, but none of that changes the way it looks. Personally, looks take priority over performance.

Note that I deleted point "b" because it was a really bad one.....

Not a bad choice. I'd say get what YOU like. In my case, I went with Moda R6s in the 18x8" size. I don't mind a heavier wheel if they look good. Check out the wheels on my homepage. Tell me what ya think.
