Thanks for compliments. The rims were pretty cheap $300 for all four on ebay. There are quite a few on ebay. The tires were more costly- Toyo Proxes 4 were $200 each installed. Probably could get it cheaper for about $150 each plus balancing and mounting.

Now I just have 4- 15 inch sawblades that I need to get rid of.

The handling is MUCH improved probably b/c of tires- I can hit the corners fast with loss of traction and feels rock solid in the rain. The acceleration is a bit slower as expected but not horrible and the ride quality is almost the same- not more bumpy or harsh.

All in all, I am very happy with the purchase.

over the sawblades, i like them but to me the spokes are a little to wide... overall, nice improvement!

I like the robust appearance of the wide spokes. I was specifically looking for this style, makes the car look for aggressive IMO but I could see how it might take some getting used to for some.

The max looks sharp. Gotta love the new wheels, especially with the amount of money you gave up for them.

Seems to be a trend going on wit these 18" murano rims. Cheap 18s. Whats the offset on these bad boys? Looks to be about 34-35? Mine are 38 and sit perfect at the edge of the car, but those look like they stick out just sliiiightly. Or it could just be that black is decieving...


Anyways, drop that ish ASAP!

I believe the offset is 35, the front sticks out a touch not the rear

Isn't 20-24lbs awfully light for a stock wheel coming off of a car or crossover or suv or minivan whatever you wanna call it... Alot of nice aftermarket rims weigh more then those do whats with that... I think they look real good and was thinking about getting them but they really do look like they gotta be at least 30lbs or am I way off base?

I guess rims for good performance would be 15 inch sawblades - 16 lbs each

This weight was independantly confirmed by another org member, I forget his name but it's pretty accurate. The question is do you really want a very light aftermarket rim that most likely will NOT be as strong as a heavier stock rim -say in an accident or rolling over something at high speed.

Well that is exactly where my theory comes from haha you would want a stronger rim especially on something bigger which would be the Murano so you would want a tougher rim and that is why its hard to believe that is is really 20-24LBS... Don't get me wrong im not doubting the weighing skills of you its just a little weird I guess that it is so light.
