I think the bolt pattern should be fine, but I'd have thought it would be lower offset.

Personally, I like the simpler late 90s SVT rims on a Maxima, these ones:



IIRC, they are 17x8, around 20 lbs, and +35 or so. Jeff92se used to have them on his 3rd Gen.

You get what you pay for. You pay for garbage, that's what you get. Don't spoil the look of your Maxima with those garbage wheels I hate to see an elegant sedan with the cheap "sportycar's" wheels. But it is ultimately your car, so do as you please

As already stated, most aftermarket wheels are the garbage/cheap wheels.

OEM wheels are by and large much better quality than aftermarket wheels..
