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.

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

Would these rims be considerd lightweight?

Would they be good rims for performance.

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

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.
