wow... I like the M45s but the 19" Gs are lighter and still very kool. Hell they all look hot! Just do one per corner. 18" G on driver front. 18" Z on passenger front. 19" G on the driver rear. 19" M on the passenger rear. done!

I think the 19" M45 wheels look baller on 5th gens, so that's my vote.

M45 all the way. At least IMO. I think the rim style flows better with the 5th gen curves and the color of the M45 rims match your ride better as well.

if you are serious, pm me.

Everyone else,

Thanks a lot for the reply's, seems to be a real toss up. Anyone have any pics of a silver 5th gen max with the 19 g35 wheels? I really can;t even decide myself. I like them all. Then again, I allready have Michelin pilot rubber on the 18 coupe wheels, and don't feel like spending any more money on tires. I am also kind of interested in how firm the ride will be with 19's.

yea,

I am not feeling it so much. It's a little too sporty if there is such a thing. It looks best on a G coupe. Thanks so much for the pics.

I think I will just stick with whats on the car. I like em...

yea i was gonna say the same thing, that inner spoke color goes with the rest of the car well.

then again if it was up to me i wouldnt want to deal with the weight of those things and just keep the track wheels, cuz they look good painted black like that.

how much do the m45s weigh? 28lbs ? 30?

I think 19 inchers are just a tad too big for a 5th gen. My vote is for the G35 rims. And if you're finished with those Track edition wheels, you can just send them my way. Kthanx

I say go with the G coupe 19s. I just put them on my car and i love the way they look. The offset is perfect for our cars too, which is a plus. If I recall correctly, the M45 sport 19s have a +50 offset, which means you would probably need to run spacers all around to get them flush.

Going to do half/half. Sold the 19 G35 wheels. So half 19 m45 half 18 g35. Never done anything like that before so we will see how she turns out. Just waiting for my Toyo p4's to come in. Will post pics up hopefully towards the end of the week!

Not a lot, they are both heavy as f***. My car is kind of a cruiser, not a racer since its an auto. I miss my 98 5-spd though. I will be going manual again, not sure if it will be a sixth gen, 5.5 gen, or 5 gen again. afraid to get a 5.5 due to threads on oil problems. Haven't heard anything on 6th gen manuals. Current maxima's don;t even have manuals as an option any more. How sad

but both wheels are on
