My New Rims

I just made my mind to purchase new wheels, I did not
want to get chrome rims but after searching for 3
months I’m done searching.
Those rims are 20 inch with nice lip for $699.

I’m looking for some input and options about the tires
please let me know what do you guys have and are happy
with.

Thanks.


My Max



rims

I'm not a big fan of chrome but those dont look bad. It would be better to see them on the car though.

Finding wheels is hard. It took me a while to find something I liked too. Post some pics when you get them on the car.

hey dude, are you doing anything with the suspension? or just throwing the 20's on as is?

post some pics! I was looking at 20's but I'm not sure how it would go with the stock suspension!

Stock suspension for now, if it don’t like it the way it looks I will change suspension.

I guess sometimes people forget that modification and customizing deals with personal taste also....

They look nice, similiar to my gianelle's. Do yourself a favor tho dont bother putting them on 'till the spring. You dont want to ruin the chrome with salt or bend them with the new potholes that will soon apear. Left my car parked today cause of the snow, putting my stocker back on in the morning.

I have a feeling that this thread was left alone by old timers for a reason. Dude I'll be the first person to tell you.

"YOU DON'T WANT 50lb RIMS" PERIOD!!!

20 lbs chrome wheels?? Are they forged?? They gotta be heavier than that. My 19in aluminum wheels weigh about 26lbs.

Just came back from the tire shop, wheels are mounted on the car, plus they filled the tires with nitrogen.

Nice looking Maxima. Love the 07 grill set up, wheels looking good too. I wish I could get a bigger lip on my 18's. Might be time to drop it... Elimimnate the infamous gap.

Are you lowered? I am normally not a fat of chrome wheels but those seem to go well with your color of the car.

KCMaxx - what's the name of your wheels?
