Wheels (not rims...right Randy), then springs, then kit. No other order is acceptable.

I see nothing wrong with springs, wheels, kit. Springs will improve your handling even on stock wheels. I ran STs / Toks on my old Max for over a year before I bought my 18's. I still have yet to complete the trifecta.

Question within a question.... Are Stillen and WW still producing the bodykits for our cars?? I was under the impression they weren't.
If that's the case, and you have limited money AND you can find a place that has a new kit - I would buy the kit first - cause you can always buy wheels. Just don't install the kit till you have the wheels and springs.

good luck with trying to be unique...wheels is one of the last areas one can be "unique"

so far you have pretty much confirmed my feeling of rims and then bodykit, and there will be no dropping at all cause virginia beach and norfolk dont do road maitnance, they just put some gravel in it and go on there way and then when it rains, the problems back and it takes like a year just to get the gravel put there

If thats the case then I wouldnt bother with wheels either. The lower profile tires you have to run to keep your speedometer correct will cause you to bend a wheel real quick.

Also IMO the 3rd gen looks funny with wheels and no drop. I have seen some that the wheel looks fine without a drop but it really depends on the style.

Also a kit looks kinda funny without a drop too. Not bad but just not as good as it can.

All in all do what makes you happy.

Too late. Craig Mack ran these on his 4-gen Seriously, how unique do you really think you are? Enkei obviously makes them to fit the maxima AND Enkei probably has produced THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of sets of these rims. Chances are pretty good that more than a few maximas have these already. They just don't post here or have pictures on the internet.

Bottom line, get what you think looks good and be happy.
