what do you guys think about the SpeedStar SP1s?



ive been drooling over these for a while, and now have the means to get them, but a lot of people have been tellin me they look better on coupes, like a G or a Z. i love them, and will probably get them anyway, i just wanted to get an opinion from the maxima community. it goes well with the 'smoked' theme i have on my car...

I love them too, but I tend to agree with the others. Those wheels would look nice with a deep lip. I don't know how great they'll look on our cars in the offsets that fit our cars.

SP1's look great, but I agree w/ MetaOrbit they need deeper lip.

im so torn, i love these, but im not sure. my friend has an Evo with these, in 18s, and according to tirerack, the offset for the cars is actually the same. so im using his car as a judge to what the lip will look like. im also gonna photoshop it at home later

i like how that lip looks, and mine should look the same, if its the same offset, just with 19s. i wish i wasnt so picky...

im gonna have to photoshop these onto my car tonight. same with the Hiros in anthracite. im totally torn between wheels, even the axis milanos might be a possibility. i just am not sure about these SSRs, since they may actually look smaller than 19s. i dont really want a 19" rim that looks like an 18.

I LOVE those rims. Maybe a tiny bit less now that you can get them from Tire Rack, so much less exclusive. But they look awesome with a nice deep lip on RWD cars. I don't think it'd look that great on a Max though, to be honest with you...

I only like those types of wheels on RWD cars. They look so nice with a fat lip on the rear.

i did a couple of photoshops, with these wheels and with Axis Hiros, to try and make my decision





since cardomain sucks, you might have to Right click the red X, properties, and paste it that way. ugh.

I'll have to agree with the rest of the bunch... beautiful wheels, but not really at home on the Maxima. The Hiro's look pretty good though.
