Nah...

..haven't posted a pic thread in a loong time. Recently switched out my Koseis for 07 Altima wheels , a downgrade but didn't wanna deal with the rubbing anymore. Here's a little photographic history of my Sexima..

loooong time ago


RX7 wheels

 

350z wheels


350z in bronze

 

16x8.5 Kosei K1 and roof rack that really owned my gas mileage



Tein coilovers/tint..

 

rolled on my buddy's stockies for a bit lol...


07 Altima SE wheels

not me driving




edit: sorry pics are so big

 

im loving the 350z wheels.DAMN,u have me thinking now if i can get that done.

 

hardtails FTW. Altima wheels look more classy than the K1s. Also, they look better on the maxima than the altima.

 

ahhh you ***. i was looking at those wheels at a nissan dealer and thought...thought would look hot on a 4th gen. i was thinking about doing this.

at any rate, whats the size/width on them? what size are the stock tires? are those stock tires?

 

car looks good man, always liked those RX7 wheels on there but the altimas sure look clean

 

looks great m an, i really liked the bronze 350 wheels. looked good with the stock corners

 

I like it.Altima wheels look hot.

 

love the bronze 350z wheels, they look awesome!!!

 

Damn Luda, your car is always SEX!!!!

 

looks sick man, the Altima rims look great!

 

gotta love the hardtails...got Deore XT discs/shifters/levers and Marzocchi MX comp fork on it now. What do you ride?

The funny thing is I never liked the wheels on the Altima..mainly got them bc they were local and had pretty new tires. But I think they look pretty damn good on the 4th gen. They are 17x7.5 on narrow stock 215/55s =/

Thanks Luke...was thinking of going back to those but wanted something new

Heh thanks Clay...I'll get you the quote on the Koseis now that they're off the car.

Seems like most ppl like the bronze z wheels best

 

how much did it cost to get those 350z wheels powdercoated? i'm thinking about doing it to my g35 wheels

 

M800 raleigh with rockshox duke, avid mechanical disc, xt rear lx front, rapid fire shifters. Finally got my hands on a tool kit so I can do my own wrenching and replace my shot BB. I also do some road riding on my old school trek with Campy Record and Chorus parts. I finally hit my flat speed record of a constant 35mph for 2 miles (motorpacing).

 

Those alti wheels are lookin excellente! Your car always looks amazing. I wish I had a sidemarker but I'm too scurrred to drill my fenders. Have you blown any axles yet being that low?

 

Are the Altima rims 18"? How much did you get them for? Hahah sorry for all the questions but I love the look.

I know you love the ambers Eric, I am debating whether or not to go back....but I really like what Ludacris has done making the corner lights the blinker. for a clean ride!

 

the bronze 350z rims looked the best on the car also get stock fog lights and paint the lip and the car will look good.

 

That's only because ALL wheels look better on the Maxima

I think the RX7s are my favorite, they look like you mean business, but all of them look really good.

 

your maxxx looks maddd gooodddddddddddddddddddddddddddd =)

 

wish my car would look that hot, even when I was rolling on stockers, haha

I need cash, then my maxima will be sexy

 

All of the rims look good, except for the stock GXEs. The 07 Altys look great on the 4th gen.

 

Just painted them; just paid for primer, sandpaper, paint/clearcoat. Finish held up perfect over the year I had them, same for my stock SE 5 spokes...

Nice, mainly XC? Where do you ride around? I wanna get a roadbike and try that out...I have a neighbor who rides 80 miles weekly up on Angeles Crest, sounds ridiculous.

Thanks Eric, nothing on your car tho I let a shop cut into the fenders...I'm too much of a klutz, so I'd rather not risk it. Fortunately none blown yet...you?

17x7.5...got them for $480 with almost new tires. Gotta thank Frank (jdmmax) for the corners...he gave me the idea and helped me with the wiring.

Ehh don't wanna paint the lip, I beat the hell out of my car...I don't baby it. It's already scuffed and scraped up, if it was painted it'd look horrible. I wish I still had the stock fogs...got them stolen the week after I just got the car.

Thanks for all the comments guys

 

Am I the only one who likes the K1s best?

 

I liked them best by far...light and wide, the flush 245s gave a mean stance. I'm probably the only one here that likes 16s, love the meaty tire look and you get a good ride. I just wish I could have found someone who'd switch a pair of their 16x7.5 with my 16x8.5 for the front so I wouldn't worry about rubbing.

 

16x8.5 +35 and 245/50/16?

I'm just switching from a 245/45/16 to a 245/50/16 and will also be running 16x8.5 +35... do you rub on suspension compression or just at full lock?

 

The K1s were +37 offset...but yea 245/50s, 8.5" wide. They rubbed with compression, and turning (no need for full lock). Just doing a long sweeping turn with a bump in it would make them rub, hitting a dip on the highway would make them rub, hitting a raised bump would make them rub. Couldn't really drive the car how i wanted so decided to switch them out.

But then I'm pretty low...when I was on Sprint/AGX with the same Koseis I NEVER rubbed. What are you dropped on?

 

I'm on Progress. I actually consider that pretty damn low--I had some MAJOR scraping problems with the 245/45s and LTB2 over speed bumps or even rough pavement, especially with the way I drive. I firmed up my Konis and I don't really have to worry about rough pavement any more, but 245/50s should help with speed bumps. I just hope I don't start rubbing my fenders.

 

The LTB2 was unbearable for me...had that when I was still on sprints, hated hearing the bar scraping mounds of cement dropped in the middle of lanes by cement trucks, etc. What kinda wheels are you getting?

 

Yeah, the LTB has been pretty much scraped flat on the bottom. But it makes you uber leet, so it's all good.

I've got Z32TT rear wheels all around. I'm moving from a 245/45 to a 245/50 for tire selection--I have some 245/50 Falken ZE-912s sitting in the garage. (going from 45 series RS2 to a 50-series 912 is going to be disappointing to say the least, but they ride well and last more than 4000 miles)

I must admit to considering a loan when I saw your K1s for sale.

 

Ahh...I considered the Z32 wheels too, couldn't find any local with decent tires tho. I'll be dropping the price on the K1s (some slight damage on one of them that should be easily fixed) and gotta get a new thread up with pics now that I can really sell them (since they're off the car).

 

Unfortunately the Z32TTs are about 21lbs apiece, although the offset is slightly better suited for a 4th gen than the K1s.

I'll keep an eye on the K1s, although I was hoping to get some 17x9s this summer if I got enough cash...

 

I usually ride down in San Diego, PQ trail and a trail in Downtown San Diego. I have only ridden in your area once (well more of orange county) over at the Santa Ana River trail. I went from Corona to Long Beach, down to Newport the over to Irvine, through Tustin then Anahiem, then back to Corona. Roading is a different beast than mtb, but ever since I started, I feel so much faster when I XC. I am starting to get into technical trails but I am only doing small drops (like 2ft).

What about you? Maybe one weekend on a Saturday morning, you, my gf's dad, and I can go hit up Mt. Baldy. Always wanted to try a century on my mtb uphill lol.

 

Lookin' good Justin. Cant wait to see the Overlays!

The Alti wheels look sweet, but the bronze 350z's are definately sexy b!tches on yer ride! Thats sweet.. what did you do, have them powdercoated?
I love how you switch your wheels consistantly, constantly changing the look of the ride in a subtle way!

I haven't rode in over a month now bc school was getting in the way but I'll pick it up again soon. That sounds like a hell of a ride, how long did that take you?

I'm mainly riding the San Gabriel Mountains (Glendale, La Canada, Pasadena) bc those are real close by...sometimes I head out to Chino Hills State Park or Brea (Carbon Canyon) but that's like a 50 mile drive out...but Chino Hills especially is worth it, I don't even feel like I'm in the city when I'm at the state park. You guys go out to Mt. Baldy every saturday? Man I won't keep up with you guys, esp since I've been out of it for a bit. I usually ride with my gf and her bro (he's on the .org too) so mb all of us could head up one day. how many miles up is Mt. Baldy?

Thanks Andy, just got the overlays in today will post pics soon

Thanks man, your car is clean too... just painted the wheels myself. I usually get bored with how my car looks after a year and switch it up...wish I had more money so I could be switching Volks/Works, etc. but eh this will do

 

I personally haven't been up there but the route my gf's dad takes is between 60 and 100 miles with, I think but not sure, 11% grade. They have a race up there called beautiful agony. As far as that ride through irvine, it took about 5 hours. We stopped at a lot of places including performance in Tustin. I want to ride chino hills as I have heard there is a lot of climbing. Im there every so often on saturdays or sundays. If I decide to ride out there one saturday morning, ill try to hit you up via PM or AIM.

 

car looks good.

 

When you get sick of the Altima wheels, shoot me a PM...I will gladly take those puppies off your hands.
