Absolutely. Cefiros really make the maxima look hot. That will be my next purchase.

The headlights will definately add more to the overall look than the OEM wheels I think.

I guess I am in the minority as I would get the rims, this is dependant on what rims you have now. The lights are great and all but other then people who know Maxima's like ourselves who would notice them? The wheels on the other hand would be noticed by everyone. Just my .02

In my mind, this is a non issue. I would def. get the lamps over the rims, but I just not a big fan of the 5th gen. rims.

I think the cefiros would give the car a more custom look vs. the 5th gen wheels. But like someone else said, it also depends on what wheels you have now. If you only have 15" wheels now then 17" wheels will give a more dramatic difference in looks plus add better handling. They are heavier tho.

However, if the cefiros had you creaming your pants, it sounds like you should go that direction.

Cefiros for sure, then aftermarket wheels for a total custom look instead of being another 4th gen w/5th gen wheels. I've seen too many out there!

honestly not abig fan of the cefiro only cause of all the work that goes into customing them to fit but they do look alot better than the stock ones on a black car and as far as the rims in my opinion the other rims are nicer from a stock se the 6 spoke 17inch i hate center caps

Do you have cefiros or are you going off of what others say? Its not that bad, I've installed 2 sets & could do it again in a couple of hours!
