Look pretty good.....the tires they come with are for a Honda though.....you need 225/45 or 235/45 tires.

I've seen these up close two weeks ago. They were silver and are VERY nice. Look a lot like Volk Gram Lights, but without the price.

1.) the "hahaha" means it was meant in good fun 2.) you asked "what do you think" so don't be a baby



btw, those 5zigen wheels are THE ****...they look awesome and the cast version is super light and still very cheap. Local boy has them in 18" and silver, and they looks very nice...

Nice to hear you've liked the 17s the best out of all the rims you have cause I'm pretty much set on getting 17s and all you hear is 17s are too small and to go at least 18s if not 19s. I don't understand why the new trend is to get the biggest wheels possible while sacrificing performance and then be all about making your car faster. I know 17s arent the best for performance either but Id like to compromise between both looks and performance

Triple8Sol i was thrown off by the "Sad but true" part. Its not a personal attack on you and i do happen to be a big fan of your car it is clean and i will not lie the 19s do look good its jsut for my car i want 17. so you say the 5zigen wheel are really good quality. i have allways loved these wheel i have a friend that has the Exel version but i wan the real thing. oh and sorry to be grumpy. school and work have me stressed to the max

Are you sure it's in good fun? This is the second post in just a few days that you have ragged on someone for wanting to get 17" wheels. If your main goal is going faster, 19" wheels will only slow you down. That is a proven fact.

The sad but true part just may be that you are an adult that needs to brag about their 19's.

People go for the big rims nowadays because that's what all the rappers and sports stars are getting and they want to look like "ballers"

Well I am going for 19s just cos I thik they look better. My car is not terribly quick anyway and the top speed of around 150 mph should not change too much. We'll see. If I was racing a car or if the roads were terrible I would opt for some light 17s though. That would make sense. I am not racing the car and roads here are perfect so I am going with 19s. I was going to get 20s but I think they look a touch tall. If you just want good all around perforance form you car go for the 17s. The 2004 maxima here, (which still looks the same as my 2003) comes with 17s from the factory and I think they suit the car. Post pics once you have done the swap.

I'm upgrading from stock 16's on my GLE to 17's. I like the look of 18's better, but I prefer comfort over a little better looking wheel. 17's still look good.
