New wheels/ which ones? [pics]

I am going to be purchasing wheels soon and there are so many out there it has been a very confusing search! I think i have come down to 3 sets of wheels

1.18x8 HP evo (lightening) Hypersilver finish with thick polished lip




2. 18x8 HPR5 wheels (by HP Racing) Hypersilver finish with polished lip



3. Just found these too, i think they might look better then both the other one's



Does anyone have these on the 95 Max? If so can you post a pic cause i'm really stuck between which ones to get and would really like to see them on your car to get a better picture of what they would look like. I know it's my decision before some of you go to saying "whatever you like better" I would just like people's input on what THEY think would look better. I have ordered the Tokico Illumina's and they will be going on in the spring along with the wheels.

Here is a pick of my car it is Granite Pearl in color so i think the "hypersilver " finish will look good....now which set?

I like all 3

Number 3 looks like Speed Star Prof SP1 or a knockoff of it, checkout Tirerack to see how they look on a Max

number 3, they should look good in 18s, but I really think you cant go wrong with the 2nd one.

Where did you find the black wheels? And what size are you talking here (including width)? I have a 1995 Maxima myself and I am looking for some black wheels.

Hp wheels are weak and if you have bad roads, I'd advise staying away from them. I see you're not lowered, I'd lower it first and then get wheels. It'll look weird if you get rims first.

No. 2 - Nice and clean.

The black ones will look like 16's.

My first choice would definitely be #3. And if not #3, then I would pick #3. And finally, if that one is not available.........................#3!

The black ones look the best, but if it's some crappy brand, then #1.

# 2, i dont think ive seen them on a max yet and they look so sexy.

everybody and their mama has Hp Evo's on the max so they are kinda boring to me now, but I would go with these over #3

#3 just looks plain funny

P.S. Rims with a lip are the nicest style out right now so your onthe right track!

I sure will, just have to figure out which ones. I am down to #2 ,#3 and the "no lip" version. I really want to make the right choice cause i can't afford to buy different sets every year or every 3 years for that matter, so whatever i choose i will be stuck with for quite some time.

I think you should go with the second one. If you go with the third one they will look smaller then they are not because they just have a lip. But because the center piece sweeps inward and that makes them look smaller on top of the extra step the lip before the center piece. You can find a better looking black with silver lip rim that dosn't look smaller then it is.

the thing about 3 piece wheels is that even though they look smaller, they look so much harder and bad azz so its worth a bit of tradeoff as long as they are true 3 piece wheels... if they are not, dont bother, they will look gay to anyone who knows they have fake rivets and crap everywhere
... SSR Professors and Work SP1s (Ithink) are bad azz wheels and worth every penny
