im trying to decide on which rims to get i got a 95 maxima, anyone with pics please post them thanks

 

i like the 350 rims but not sure which one is heavier.

 

i know the 350z rims are very heavy not sure about g35

but the g35 wheels look alot better in my opinion, lots of people have them

 

i like them, they just dont look that good on a max

 

if you're actually paying for them get yourself some aftermarket rims, they look better than both and will probably be cheaper. if its a 5 finger discount, get both this way you can change them with your mood.

 

Ive seen some of the max's here with g35 rims and I actually like the way they look. I might be getting some from a friend of mine...but yeah, id pick the G35 rims instead...

 

G35C wheels look really good

 

some g35 wheels (such as these) look very nice on 4th gens... even very ****ty looking primered ones

 

they are both garbage

 

here ya go... they are heavy and I wish I could get some aftermarket but I got great deal on these.

 

Here you go. http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....=1#post4032245

 

G35c 18s. very stylish.

 

i saw the 350z 7 spoke rims on a 98 max and it looked aweful.

 

im kinda partial to the G35C 18s

here is my 3rd gen click here for the gallery of my rims


here is Irish's 5th gen


which 350z rims are you looking at? I like the track edition ones the best like these


i take it youre going with 18s and not the 17 g35s?

 

G35 ofcourse

 

G35 18's....anyone have 2 they are trying to sell. I need 2 to complete my set so I can put them on and show everyone.

 

G35s all the way.

 

g35c...i personally dont like those dots they have on the spokes of the 350z.

 

i like the look of the G35 but i think the 350z stocks look like they belong on the max, The car looks like thats how it should have come from the factory.

 

my cuz got g35 coupe and we weighed the wheel and it was 42lbs with tires

 

Maybe you should ask Jeff:

From my research, the G wheels weigh 26lbs each. The Michelins weigh 24 and 26lbs front/back respectively. So you get 50 and 52lbs total.

 

I think 350z 18's will look nice on a fourth gen. I hope so cause I have already purchased some on ebay. The look good on the g35 sedan in this pic ( V )too, don't they?

 

350Z are heavy, I'd go with the G35 C

 

Well, I just got the tracking information on 18 inch 350z wheels being shipped to me via UPS and each package has the weight of 25 pounds. I would think their scales would be fairly accurate. Also, that's counting the packing materials and the box as well. So maybe these wheels actually weigh slightly less than 25 pounds, eh?

 

Track edition 350z wheels are forged and made by Rays. Normal touring etc...350z wheels are just cast and heavy. 25-26lbs sounds just about right. The G35 18" Coupe wheels are 26lbs each also.

 

Hey Jeff, the wheels I'm getting are the six spoke 18" 350z wheels that are on the g35 in my sig. I've seen a new six spoke 18" design on the 350z. Are the wheels like the ones in my sig forged too?

EDIT: I looked at my post after posting and the sig was not there. At any rate, it is above. The lavenderish-grayish g35 above.

 

no they are cast. only the track edition are forged. his say rays engineering on them

 

I got the 350 z rims on my 4th gen max. Someone let me know how to post some pics.

 

[imgpicture url in here [/img] just surround the link with those img tags.

If you don't have these 350z wheels, then you don't have the Track Edition Rays engineering forged wheels. No other wheel for the Z are forged that I know of. Maybe some of the new ones. The G coupe for this year has OPTIONAL 19" wheels that are supposed to be forged. Don't know the weight on those. I can't imagine running 19s on my 3-gen anyway.

 

In case you didn't know, the code the previous guy gave you is only good if you have your pic on the net somewhere. Yahoo or cardomain or something will give you somewhere to put the pics on the net and then you can put that link in the code the previous guy gave you. I think I'm right. Correct me if I'm wrong, people.

 

Yeah those are the ones I thought you were referring to. I don't have those, I have the other 18's. When mine come in, I'm gonna take them to the post office and get them to weigh them for me so I can know for sure. (No offense. I doesn't really even matter to me all that much. I'm just curious. Well, if my mileage goes to less than 20 regularly, then it will matter. But only then.)

 

Your mileage won't suffer any significant amount. I'm running the G35 coupe wheels now. And I'm running the huge 245-45-18s in front (only way it clears). And even then, my mileage is okay. But can tell a diff in low end accerlation. But it's mostly because of the lower gearing that huge tire gives. 4-gen/5-gens can run these big tires in the rears for the staggered look and not have to worry too much about acceleration and mileage.

 

Staggered? I have heard different things, but I concluded that the wheels I have bought and am waiting to get are all the same offset 18X8 wheels. That means that the wheels come out away from the body of the car almost the same distance, more on the front if anything, since the front wheel base is a little wider on the fourth gen. So do you mean that the wall of the tires actually gives the staggered look? BTW, I plan to put 245/45's on all four of mine.

 

 

^^^^ that is the sexiest car i have seen all day

 

Kash, these pics are with the Tockicos, right? If you still want to get lower, holla at me about the Tockicos.

 

Staggered in this case = 18x8 yes. But fronts = 225-45-18 and rears = 245-45-18. I run the widers ones on the rear. 4-5th gens can run the wider ones out back. Thus staggered.

 

Ok. Also, I meant to say that I'm putting 225/45's on all four of mine.

What I have been asking about, though, is spacers for the rears. I'd like them to line up against the outer body the way the fronts do (or, will). Where can I get these spacers for less than an arm and a leg? And how hard are lugs to replace? I'm sure I'd need longer ones, wouldn't you say? Would the spacers have to be fabbed? Would it be recommended for safety's sake that I not go to my old college machine shop and fab some ma self? And where should I go for longer lugs? (I wouldn't dream of trying to thread some longer lugs myself.)
