Mille Miglia Evo5- good wheels for Maxima?

I have decided on the Mille Miglia evo5 (painted , not chrome) for my Maxima when i get it (gawd, i hope i do get it)

Do these look good on a 4th gen Maxima? I have decided that the 18X8 are right for me, unless you guys suggest the 17's. what are your opinions on these?

I like em.

If you want looks over performance go with the 18's, which also will be a tiny bit rougher of a ride.. If your interested in staying quick stick with 17's, they should be a bit lighter.

Beautiful rims for the Maxima!!!!!
IMO they can't be beat as far as looks go. I will have them as soon as I make enough money. Do a search for any post by Max4speed, he's got them on his black 4th Gen. I think.

Thanks for the pic, they look great.

The car i am hoping for is a 95 5spd black maxima with 92k miles.
gonna offer $6500, reasonable? He is asking 7200 and it is supposed to sell for less than that

7200 is actually a pretty nice price, but he should be happy with 6500

I ran this exact wheel on my car for a while & must say, the ride was very reasonable and the looks, well. . .I personally have seen few wheels that look as good on a 4th Gen as the 18" MM Evo V.

I say, GO FOR IT!

Evo 5

That is the exact wheel I have been thinking of for my 95 GLE. This has made my decision for me. Now,I am trying to decide on 16 or 17 inch. If she was an SE, I would no doubt go for 17, but this is a luxury GLE. Any opinions?

get 17's man, how many people have you heard that buy 16 inch aftermarket rims.. if you're gonna spend a grand, might as well get a decent size rim. just my opinion

What sort of slowdown are we talking here?
I am not gonna race much or anything (if at all)

But i want the most performance and handling i can get out of the car.
Do the 17's still look really nice?
If the difference is not negligible i will just go with the 18's, but if i can save some money on smaller ones while adding performance i'm all in for it

Dont worry

Its not that significant of a decrease in performance. Youll never notice. The ride may be noticeable as 18s hit bumps a bit harder. I'd say get the 18s cause if you want to fill the wells and you get 17s you may wish they were 18s. I wish my 18s were 19s and I had some light azz 17s as spares for racing

They are a bit heavy I guess but these rims look so good the looks compensate for their weight. BTW, I'd go all out and just get the 18s....
