17x7 Motegis? Yeah I think I can swing that:



You might like to know that 225 is the highest width of tire you SHOULD go on these rims.

Where do you think I got the idea for getting those rims in the first place > Dario

I thought you had seen my car lately Mike. In fact those pics don't even show the tint . Of course, right now she is sitting in the FNND waiting on tranny diagnosis...

Same here. Those are nice rims.

I guess if i saw your car recently i just don't remember. That accident really rattled my brain.

You are forgiven due to brain injury

The Motegis are nice, but I have recently developed that nagging itch for a recessed/lip design - oh and I am still fighting that wheel gap thing

I guess I will stay happy with the Motegis for now...they definately aren't bad rims esp for the price

Thank you for the consideration kind sire!

Ditto on the lip, if i worked in a nicer place i'd definitely get one of those. Having scuffed up rims works two ways for me - i get aftermarket, but it's not too flashy either.

Speaking of wheelgap, at least you're dropped. Imagine my stock height + low profile tires.

Here's a pic of my MR7 clones on my 98 in my sig... (more pics on my site). Sorry not a 5th gen, but I thought I'd tell about my wheels.

Mine are MSR-113's, made by Eagle Alloys. I got the whole set of 4 shipped to my door for $400 off ebay, brand new. Here's a link to the guy that I bought em off. Not getting paid to advertise for the guy, but he has some good deals. If he doesn't have any 5-lug 113's for sale, maybe email him and ask if he could sell some. Has a rim shop in NC somewhere.

maxxximus, your car looks super-tight. I was about to ask if yours was a 6-speed, but then I realized it's a 2000 with 2k2+ headlights on it. Lookin' good. What I wouldn't do to have a 3.5L and 6-speed dropped in my 98... I believe that would be the most perfect Maxima ever.
