Now with bigger cars (like ours) the effect of perception makes these wheelare very noticeable & appear tiny. If you are concerned with size appearance, its best to go with a wheel that has an actual lip extended over the design spokes (Such as most Enkei and Konig wheels, and any wheel made by Dazz motorsports like Racing Hart & RH Evolution.) or stick with a wheel that is flush against the outer rim with long spokes (like the stock wheels on the 2003-present Maximas and I's.) *some tilt inward and others just are flat.* I.E., notice how large my stock rims appear on my car in the sig, those are 17's but due to the perception concept, they appear larger than they are.
Its very tricky, but here are a few websites you can browse to help with your decision. www.acealloywheels.com
