I just ordered a set of 18" white rims for my white 2004 maxima, but I wanted to see if anyone else had 18" white rims on their white 6th gens. so I could see how they look? Thanks in advance

 

That will look nice can't wait to see. Chrome lip too?

 

Nope, there is no lip. I didnt want a lip unless I had 20" wheels because the lip makes the wheels look smaller than they really are in my opinion. Here is a link to the wheels I bought, theyre not the best but I like them and the price is good for me. Let me know what you think of the wheels

ehh, I'l wait for pics but white wheels arent really my deal. Also, your 18s are going to look smaller than my 19s with a lip so what was your motive if you didnt want the wheels to look small?

 

You probably should've waited to see what your car would look like with white rims before buying them. I can't see it looking that good (hopefully I'm wrong) but post pics when you're done.

 

Not what I was imagining....very inexpensive though, cantr make a final verdict till its on the car. Yeah the lip makes the wheel LOOK smaller, but thats just because the face actually is smaller, wheel is the same size...I'll live with it to avoid the added weight and ride harshness of 20", I dont want to affect the driving dynamics.

 

The wheel seems to belong aesthetically to a smaller sportier vehicle. I don't like it but it's your car and money.

 

I respect everyones opinions and thanks for the feedback so far, I like rims with lips and I have had rims with lips and felt that they looked smaller than they really are. Heres my motives for getting the above rims: First of all, I have had my previous car stolen for being too flashy and I will never buy chrome rims again for that reason alone. I love them but they are too flashy for me. Second, I know 18" are still somewhat small for our cars and 19's or 20's would look better, but that also raises the prices of tires and thats not something I want to do. Tires for 18s are already around $150 each (obviously depending on what tire)...Third, I always liked white rims on a white car. So those are my reasons

 

not a big fan of white wheels on anything...that look played out a few years ago with the Civic crowd. That said, It'll be interesting to see what they will look like on your car

Thank you for not getting a polished lip. White wheels with a polished lip would look extremely IMO......

18s FTW. 19s and 20s are overkill....and hurt performance too.

 

I disagree.... depends on which gen the wheels are mounted onto. For example, 17" looks pretty big already on a 3rd gen, while 18" looks kinda small on a 6th gen.

 

Yup, Although he is right about tire prices. Its freakin rediculous because the 6th gen needs a beefy tire.

 

I beg to differ, these look tight...

 

i'm pretty sure he was refering to the 6th gen.

white rims on a white car just screams cheap to me, but again, i'm sure it will be different to actually see it. good luck

 

I like white rims on white cars, at least I know I will have probably the only
6th gen. with that combination! lol

 

I'm not liking the white rim idea. I'm going with a polished or chrome 5 spoke on my white max. I prefer the wheel to have some lip w/ the correct offeset.
Maybe, I'm just a little old school I guess.

 

Seems like im the only one who likes white rims on a white car, nothing wrong with that. What do you guys think of black rims on a black car?

 

almost as bad.....when moving looks like you're running steelies with the hubcaps taken off ....

 

aren't those pretty much the same wheels you're getting for your car except in black?

and no, they don't look tight they look like they're made out of plastic....

 

who me? Not sure who you are asking, but for me, No I am getting 5 star white wheels. Not these.

 

I may just like a particular white car/white wheels combo. It all depends on what car, which wheel, what size, offset..... and other mods. Seriously I don't know how you guys can generalize white wheels. There are like 999 models of white wheels you can put on a white 6th gen. I bet there'll be some that I like and probably some more that I don't like.

The best-looking wheel size for 6th gen is 20". 22" is definitely overkill. 19" looks a bit small, but doesn't weigh as much as 20". 18" is stock size and lightweight 18" is the way to go if you like to race.

 

I agree with ya

 

not you...04BlackMax...the guy i quoted.

 

Definately "SENTRA" rims but its what you like and thats all that matters

 

Didnt mean to cause confusion.

 

I like the 5 star open spoke design the best, these are similar but I prefer what Im getting. The Falken Torque looks more like this rim. I wouldnt get white myself, but there are far better looking white wheels then the one he picked. You watch, the drifz will look good.

 

I say Torque5's...I've always like them, though they're pretty damn heavy, which is why I didn't get them.
