That's a familiar tire. Looking good man! The only thing I suggest is the matching the grill and airdam to the rest of the car. Is it me or does the roof seem a little faded? Either way car looks good. Can't go wrong with 5 spokes!

Very clean max. Love those wheels. And do you ever accidentally back out and run over a car with that monster truck of yours? Wow, that thing is HUGE!

Cheers

Big E, I have the 'maxima' that is written into the back trim, but no, I do not have a maxima badge on the car. I got that chrome datsun one off an old truck in the junk yard.

Yes the car could use some paint on the roof and trunk....any thing else wrong with the car Sarin and yes I plan on painting the grille and air dam the same color as the car. I would like to have the car painted later this year and that is when I would like to have this done.

Yes, my roommates truck is huge...he has not run over any of my cars yet.

There are more pics here on the first page http://www.cardomain.com/ride/818028

I bet with a little polishing compound you can get those sections to shine.

BTW, you're car looks awesome....sorry for the nitpicking.

They are 17x7 or 7.5, Nakayama GT5's (The spelling is close), and I think I posted the wrong offset in the other thread, I actually think they are +42 as opposed to +38, just google them.
