They are EXTREMELY heavy and low quality rims.

I bought some MR-7's in gun metal. They are 17's, and when they were being mounted, they chipped when the lug was being put in. Since then, the number of chips have increased, and one of my rims is bent, I think this is dueto a pothole. But I do not reccomend them if you are looking for quality.

An alternative

Check these out - they're on sale. I think this is a great looking wheel for the $. They have that "tuning-fork" spoke design, reminiscent of the BMW 740IL wheels. Pretty sharp.

also,
http://www.whalentire.com/wheeldetai...51435S&size=17

They're both the same style wheel, but the first is 7" wide with a +38mm offset and the other is 8" wide with a +35mm offset wheel at the link above.

(+35mm will work, but ideally, you should keep your offset between +38mm to +42mm on a 1995 Maxima). +40mm is factory OEM spec.

Btw, these wheels are on the December, maxima.org "Maxima of the Month" on the opening page.

(You might be able to contact the owner to see how he likes them).
