Well, so far it has been a love/hate relationship with these rims. From a direct side view they look sweet. The 5 spoked bladed look. But from certain angles I just don't care for the way they look. When my car is moving they look awesome too.

I like em and will probubly stay with em, ($ doesn't grow on trees), but I just wanted to here your honest opinions.

Do your worst, Maxima enthusiasts.

Here are some pics:








P.S. I will be getting pics of my duals when my red/clears come either wed-fri.

 

yay

 

Caffienes...and they look good on your Max man keep them.....

 

they look ok i guess, but i am not a big fan of the caffines, i think the maxima looks better with konig tantrums and flatlines

 

yes

 

get ROHs

 

ROH's are good also......if u want them....goto the northeastern discussion and look for the stony brook auto show.....there is a guy there that will get u a really good price on ROH's - prolly less than 500 - his name is N34JZ

 

craig, keep them. they don't look too bad. just ride with these for now. save up for some high quality rims like volks or racing harts.

 

Not my taste personally, but I say stay with them - they look good on your car.

 

Thanks for your opinions guys, keep em coming.

And Cumalot, Volks, Racing Harts, Oz, any of those would be sweet! But it comes down to: Should I get new rims, or save up a LITTLE more for a 5spd conversion ? I think I know what yall would do

 

hm...you got a point. i guess i should admit why i'm no longer getting new rims. 5spd conversion is in my future.

 

...

Craig, although I always joke you about them, I like your rims. I think they suite the car well, and you're unique in the sense that only very few people have them. The lip looks nice too, not too goddy like some of those deepdishes . They definitely look custom, but not radical - which is why we all have Maximas. If you're going to buy wheels in the same size/weight category stick with the Caffeines.

your car keeps gettin better and better and the rims do compliment the car but there are better choices out there, do the 5spd conversion first worry bout rims later

 

Thank you boys.

And Cyrus I appriciate the kind words my man

 

I like em...

 

Definitely a Yay! I can't believe that you, of all people, have doubts about it

Btw, how much for a 5spd conversion?

 

Its sunset and they look damn purdy Are you gonna get these rims or have u not decided ?

A 5spd conversion... anywhere from 700-1400 for a good tranny, a couple hundred for parts, and then labor

I have someone in Jacksonville who has done a few for cheep. Hopefully he will still do mine when I get the $. (if i ever do!)

After I do it and sell my auto tranny, I hope to only be 1000-1500 out of pocket.

 

Not bad for a conversion. I guess i'm better off driving my current car until i feel like it and wait until i can get a manual tranny conversion. I was about ready to swap this one with the 6spd but was afraid of the devaluation hit.

I'm not decided yet. Why? Coz i'm thinking wishfully. I'd like a lightweight, good looking yet cheap rim.

 

i was never a fan of the Caffines. Ive had my Monsoons for a while, but everyone has them!

 

eh, i never really liked them honestly.. although they look not too bad on your car. I would only get new rims if you have nothing else to buy.. They are better then stock rims, just save some $ I guess.
