I finally got my rims on... cooper zeon xtp's. heres the results.. tell me what you think.





go to Car domain site
for more pictures.

Btw other lowered cars, does it squeak when you make hard turns at all?

thanks jeff

 

niceeee thats just what I want.

 

No squeaks with my Sprint/AGXs...sweet drop dude

 

looks nice man!

 

sweeeeeeet!

 

looks nice man.



GC on stock shocks?

 

Dang! that looks nice! How much did you pay for the rims? and where?

 

I see, 1..2...3..4 lugs, are these mr7's? or 6's? I believe the motegi website is wrong, since the maxima is not a 4 bolt pattern. Their application chart lists the 4th gen as a 4 bolt..., did you need to do something else to get these on? ordid you just put on 4 lugs and leave it at that?

 

Yeah ... something just didn't look right with that pic, now I know what it was I like the rims though.

 

LoL, no im missing the lug bolt on the front rim, it got stripped and i havent replaced it yet... they do make 5X114.5's and that what i have... thats this weeks project (replace the bolt)
thanks for the compliments

 

waht springs and shocks are you runnig? tire size? what tires? whow much for the rims and for the tires?

 

those look like my rims

 

I have ground controls on there with stock struts, im saving up for KYB's. They are the new cooper zeon XTP tires in 225/45/17. The tires were 81 a piece. I got the rims from some dude on ebay.

 

No offense - it looks REALLY nice.

But I've seen A LOT of Motegi's bend. Not high-quality rims, and usually fairly heavy.

Try some 5Zigen FN01R-C's - 17lbs for an 18" Rim, and much more durable.

<see below>

 

ouch. it must bottom out a lot...

 

Motegis are a budget brand...I LOVE those 5Zigens man. Those are another wheel I am considering..in bronze 17s. Was always wondering how they would look on a Maxima...been seeing them on a few clean Hondas/Acuras/240sxs around the area.

What have you heard about the "KNONGS Holes" Rims. They are about 12-15 pounds and they are 17's?

 

I installed my ground controls(w/stock shocks) on thursday
i did have a kind of squeaking/cracking sound at first when i turned the wheel too far one direction. But it seems to have been broken in now and is fine. I was wondering if you found it scary to replace those monstrous front springs with the tiny little ground control springs. Scared the crap outta me

 

either you need bigger tires cause those tires look to small on your max

 

My tires need to be even bigger?

 

what springs are we talking about here

 

your car sits to low especially in the back. your back is lower than your front when it is supposed to be the opppsite. what tire size are you running?

 

Somebody needs a better camera...

 

yeah that would help.lol.

 

OK you quoted the wrong guy...I'm running sprints so my front is lower and i have stock balloon tires. Now it makes sense, I was like wtf I need even bigger tires??
