Anyone have grey lustre?

Need help picking up some new rims...
I'm a big fan of the axis hiro in anthracite...wish they made them in hyper black. Really most things with medium thickness 5 spokes...squared ends are nicer
Will probably end up going with these.

But I'm also tossing around the idea of a flat black wheel like

I was thinking about bronze for a while too but I think it would clash too hard.

What I really need are photoshops or pics of existing grey lustre 5-5.5 gens with rims.

hiro and nagaro are both good choices. i would stay away from flat black. bronze would look good.

Ya I'm definitely leaning towards those two, honestly it really comes down to price. Whichever one's cheaper (if it's a minor difference then I'd have to go with the nagaro's)

While I'm at it...any recommendations for a good size tire that will cover a good part of the gap without a drop? I'm thinking 245/45/18...

without a drop, 245 45 18 should be the best to get. this is the stock 2004 maxima tire size.

Paint your wheels custom (KV3 is the paint code for Grey Lustre, IIRC)

Any Maxima of any generation = w/o a drop no matter what the tire/wheel size combo. Not only cosmetic, but functionality too (handles like Jello otherwise)

ya unfortunately I don't think I will be keeping the maxima long enough for a drop.
The maxima is my ride until I get enough money to buy a 2006 Evo.

For now to help with the jello feel I have a FSTB, RSB, and LTB.

As far as painting the same color...I just don't think it looks good. A nice contrasting rim always gives a unique look IMO.
