What do you like better?

I'm tired of my rims. I've seen them on my car now for 4 years, I had a set on my 99 and now on my 02. They are great rims but like I said I'm ready to awe over somthing new. Let me know which rims you like best. I'm undecided at the moment.

(A)
My current rims. Photoshoped to look metalic black with a merlot paint around the edge.


(B)
Some G37 19"s.


(C)
Or just the way they are?

G37s. But I am biased, and would change a few other things first.

Of those three, the G37 wheels are what I would go with.

Tails.

Other than that it's pretty good, and I think the G37s would look pimptastic.

I voted your current setup because I like it the best of the the three. I'm sick of the G35/37 wheels on every single car. They're a good looking wheel, but it I think it takes originality out of the car. They wouldn't look bad black with the maroon lip, but I kind of like the color they are now.

ps - Meh, just the stock 02-03 clear style tail lights would look pretty good; better than all red. or black and red, I think the car being the color that it is looks good with the euro contrast even if I don't like them normally.

Just wanted to say "cool" because it looks like your car is the same color as mine. I don't seem to see many our color around here, seems like silver, black, and white are the most popular colors.

They're a good looking wheel, but it I think it takes originality out of the car.
Personally I think owning a Maxima is original enough, giving it classy wheels instead of mad t00ner aggressive looking wheels is even more so. But to each his own I guess...

All 3 look good, but I like the G37s the best. If you do the Time attack style rims, I would tint the tails to make it match a little better.

i like the g37's definitely stylish and classy, but the metallic black with the merlot looks aggressive.

I photoshoped the tails to be a bit tinted. But yea I would have the tint re-done since I have a mirrorish tint and I would certainly tint the tail lights a little bit.

The poll results are close between the black/merlot and the G37s. I'm very torn still between the 2 styles. They are totally different.

If you do the black wheels, definitely get 00-01 SE black tails, and may I also suggest that you paint the chrome window trim black? The chrome trim looks fine with silver wheels and tails, but it looks stupid with black wheels IMO

Meh, I like classy looking rims. I definitely am up for the clean look rather than the riced look. But there are other rims out there that aren't G35/G37

I think the current set-up is perfect. It has such a nice contrast with the paint and just all-around look. Kinda sporty-kinda classy, just very nice.

the black is cool too..a little less classy I think. Your car has a beautiful color by the way.

Heh... looks like the masses are torn between the black/merlot and G37's. I may go with the g37's since it would require less work (no re-tint) but we'll see...

I do like the current setup and it does look sort of aggresive but also sorta classy but yea guys I've had these exact rims for like 4-5 years. I loved them but I'm ready for a change. Plus they are a PIA to clean.

I really appreciate all of your input. I'll be sure to post up what I ended up with. Thanks Everyone!
