I still have my oem SE wheels, because I think they are the 2nd best looking wheel out there, next to Momo Arrows..
But I want white rims, and dont know if they are considered too ricey on a white max or not. A friend of mine told me
"you're too old for that man.. dont get white wheels".

IMO, white wheels on a white max will look GOOD, especially on mine, because my car is as stock as it can be, looking from the outside.
I got no coffee can tips, no stickers, no nothing.
But I do have tint, red/clear tails,(my fav mod), cai, ypipe, eibachs.. (these are the mods I finally settled with, after some experiments and $$)

What do y'all think? Should I get white wheels or not? Or how bout those graphite, gun metals? I like those a lot too.

 

If its the right type of wheel it would look good to me. Especially since you dont have the typical "rice" stuff on the car. It should look pretty clean.

 

I saw a white 5th gen near Tampa on I-4 last saturday. Not sure if it was someone on here or not, but it had white rims, and red painted SE badge. It looked real nice, very clean. Definately one the best 5 gens Ive seen.

 

SprintMax has white rims on a white Max.

 

Like white on rice.

 

 

i think it would look pretty good

 

I think white rims on a white car look way cool. The old Mark III supra had a special all white edition with white wheels as well. Loooked awesome. SprintMax's rides looks very good, too.

Do whatever you like, who cares what other people think. I think it would look nice.

 

i think it would look sweet! i also like white rims on black cars.

 

 

i dunno i personally dont like any "colored" rims...looks either ricey or looks like those early 90s pontiacs with body colored stock rims

 

Sprintmax and a few others as an example had/have white rims. Very nice combo imho.

 

if you have just plain white color(not pearl white) Maxima, i guess having white rims is ok...it'd look really clean(like Sprintmax)..

but if you have a pearl white(like mine) and bought plain white rims...i think that'd look sorta weird...

ok.. just to clear a few things up here.. i didn't buy my rims white.. they were actually silver..




I took them to a shop and had them powdercoated to match the factory color.. meaning i took a book out with paint colors and put it against the body color and match what i "thought" was the closest..

some people say white rims are ricey.. personally.. if its not on a white car.. i think it is.. so i am not saying oh yeah.. white rims are not ricey.. its ok if done right..

some people say white rims are ricey on any car.. well thats just their opinion.. i get alot of compliments on how my wheels match the car.. and i am sure their are a few people who find it distasteful also.. but you can't please everyone.. the only person you can please is yourself..

FYI: your car is the same color as mine.. so if you needed a good comparison.. there you go..

here are they now..

Niice!

You need to get some clear corners real bad though

White rims are rarely ever done right................

 

i've got white stocks. i love em. not alot of maxima's with em around here.

 

i have a white car muyself, and i HATE chrome, and it hink white look ugly with some RARE exceptions

 

yeah but Sprintmax's white on rice looks good.....IMO

 

Agreed. But I couldn't resist the white on rice comment.


Unless the painted rim matches the paint on the car, it is usually a stupid look.

 

its not painted bill.. its powdercoated

 

 

what do you guys think of black wheels on a white max, like the kosei k1's in anthracite?

 

CharlieNewbieMax has that.. look for himin the 5th Gen Forum

 

jahAHAHHAHAHAHAHA
do whatever you feel is right man, its all opinion and taste so-

 

I had white Enkei's on my '87 SE and I used to get a lot of compliments on the car. If you like the look I say go for it. Modifying your vehicle should express your taste, not what others think looks sweet.

 

I agree, if done right like Sprint's car, it looks really good...

 

What about purple with pink stripes?

 

you should add formerly a comedian to your sig too
