I just bought some aftermarket rims for my 2k1 GXE.

My 16" OEM rims are in MINT condition, and I'd like to sell them and get about $150 for the set. Do I have a chance?

What did everyone else do w/ thier OEMs, when they got aftermarkets?

3/21 UPDATE:
I sold the rims for $160.

 

I am in the same situation. Had mine put on Friday. I might just keep the old ones...because you never know when your car might get totalled or something and then you could swap the old ones back on.

I called Dave B. to check how much the rims on the 2k2 GXE run (they are the same rims on the 2k-2k1 base SE).....only about $300 a rim!! Nissan is extremely proud of their aluminum wheels.

 

Do you live where there's winter? Keep them, throw some inexpensive snows on them, and use them in winter.

I had a friend was in your situation and did that. Later, he sold his Max as I was buying mine. I got his extra rims/tires for $250 and a 6-pack (total... for 4 rims and tires) ... sweet deal, but it also means I won't be able to "convince" the wife I need "different" rims because I'll already have 2 OEM sets. So it kinda sucks in a way, too.

You've got Private Mail and email.

 

Yes, I'd like to know what ppl have done with their old wheel/tires. Mine are just sitting in the basement collecting dust.

 

There's a big market on eBay for good condition OEM Maxima rims. Search 'maxima wheels' and you'll see what I mean.

 

I would keep them for the winter situation. A lot of people want the maxima rims and they are hard to buy from private people, and you'll never know when u need them

 

If you really want to part with the wheel set. Find someone with a 4th Gen who is just starting to mod but have little $$$; this will be a good start for them.

 

Door stops....

 

if you have nothing to do, weld them on the front of a Van..call Mr. T and Murdock.. then bust through fences and stores while helping the people in need...

 

Email me at maxdriver2002@hotmail.com. I will buy these off of you. :=) . Are you selling the tires too? If so add the price with the tires in your email. Thanks. <-- very INTERESTED

But what would be the advantage for the fourth gens? don't they also have 16 inch rims?

 

I suggest keep your OEM rims so that you can put them back on and get more trade-in value from the dealer if one day you wish to trade-in your car. Dealers prefer to buy cars in stock form.
