About 2 months ago I had to have my Giovannas straightened and I didn't want my car out of commission for a few days so I just decided to buy a new set of spare rims. I scored a brand new set of 2005 Nissan Murano 18s on eBay for $250, picked them up locally, and got barely used Michelin Pilot Sport 255/40/18s for $400. They are much lighter than my 19s and the ride is much better. I've only seen these on 4th gens before so here are some pics of them on my car. I think they look decent but not great; people I know are split 50/50 between those who like my chromes and those who don't; see for yourself. I will say that the Muranos definitely look good when the car is in motion - I'll try to get a picture soon (just swapped them back onto the car today).

18" Murano Wheels




Note: The GT-R logo is no longer there so please don't flame me - LOL!

 

Looks good, this is getting moved though...

 

eh....not really feeling it...then again, I don't like those wheels on a Murano either. It's good to try new things though, so props

 

eh, i don't like looking at it. it breaks the car's lines.

 

They look decent... better than some of the ricer crap we see here nowadays...

 

those giovanas look extremelly nice.

 

the 19's look sweet, murano's look ehhh. i would have gone with fx45 wheels

 

makes the car look like an overgrown 4th gen

 

Ehh, not liking it

 

If I could have found FX45 wheels for $250 then of course I would have bought those instead... I got a hell of a bargain!

 

kinda looks like the g35 sedan wheels

 

The Murano wheels look better on the 4th Gens IMO.

 

what does it say on the Murano wheel's center cap? Murano or Nissan?

 

it says nissan

 

Those Murano rims are oooglie.

Your Giovanna's are hot!

 

Put the genoa's back on

 

the muranos have their uses:
1. at the track - genoas are way too heavy
2. road trips
3. attracting LESS attention from cops

thanks to atlanta roads, i have to get another genoa straightened so they will go back on in a few days

 

I gott say, I think those Muranos are REALLY ugly. They're gonna be pretty damn heavy too, so not really a very good choice for track use either. Good as a spare winter set I suppose, although most any 18's will look good in motion, since you can't see them when it's rolling...

 

you fit 255's on a 7.5 wide inch rim? (murano)

can u get a profile shot to show how much the tire bubbles out?

 

Hated those rims are on the Murano, looks even worse on your car. No offense, just my opinion.

 

Personally, the only OEM Nissan 18" wheels I'd 'upgrade' to on my 02 Maxima would be those of the Altima SE-R.

 

The Murano's rims look pretty ugly, your chrome 19s were 10X better.

 

I think the Murano rims look alright.

 

I think they look great. I'd buy a set if could find one.

 

murano's dont look good at all on the maxima, but those Altima SE-R's and ur Genoa's are NICE

 

i'll take a picture later, and yes - they do fit just fine

as for the track, they may be heavy but they're still a lot lighter than the genoas

like i said i got these for $250, i like the altima se-r rims too but i doubt i could find them for that price

 

it'll probably be a few more months before we start to come across SE-R wheels on Ebay (or something). But as soon as they appear, I'll start bidding on them.

 

Personally, I think the Murano and the Altima SE R rims look terrible. Especiallythe SE R rims. The only rims i would have on my Max is the stock ones or the G35 Coupes which i am trying to find online for a good price.

 

they are def different......i guess they are a nice set of winter rims

 

They look great!

 

i think i liek it a lot better with the giovannas. Looks nice with those

 

I think the Murano's look good... nice, clean... similar to the 2004 18's I put on the 2k GLE

 

I believe this was taken with 36psi in the tire

 

The Murano rims look ok....I wouldn't put them on my car....but they look ok....

 

the chromies look amazing on your car...i thought i was growing out of chrome but your car is an exception!

 

I like that a lot....Looks Great!!!

 

I Think On A Sterling Mist Max They Would Look Good

 

Dosent look bad to me.

 

Negatory on the Murano. The G's look nice.

 

they look too plain to me. However props for trying it
