The Search is over...(Rims)

So i was searching for rims for about 5 months. I'm picky what can i say. I thought i would just chrome the stock ones, then i found these really nice ones but were 3k. Finally was going with some 18" chrome, similar to what jsmithsole's got. But then i wasn't sure. Finally i went with the ones that 04maxse had on his. I didn't want 20's but the 19's were sold out everywhere, and impossible to find. So i got a great deal on the 20's. Due to budget restraints i didn't get the rims and tires together. So split the bills up and got them separte, came down to the same cost in the end tho.

So what are they? 20 inch dezenyo mirage wrapped in toyo proxes 4's. So far i love them but they've only been on for like 5 hours. Lots of great responses on them so far so i figured i'd share them with you all.




I'll take more pictures tomorrow. Didn't really have a chance to today since it was raining almost all day.

I like them , suits the whole sports look with the spoiler and all ...

Nice one ....

What size tyres are you running and have they caused the ride to be harsh up to any great extent.

245/35/20.

I was honestly expecting a lot worse, but even my girlfriend said that it feels smoother then the stock 18's. This is true until you get on the high way and you feel every bump. I've been more observant on road noises and such and soo far so good. Had to drive from NY (home) to NJ (work and other home) and seemed good, of course just got to watch out for those potholes.

Mystery, Those look good!!! That was the first thing I noticed as well, was the road noise. 20's definitely suit our cars, I'm sure you'll be happy!! And thanks for at least considering my look in the search process, I'm still on the watch for a nice mesh BBS type wheel that is affordable (like my first wheels)...we'll see.
Are you planning on lowering??
And by the way when you said "i figured i'd share them with you all"
You better be sharing!!!

Well of course it would. It made my choice easier by being able to see them on the same car basically.

Out of curosity, why does this have to be moved to tires and wheel. Besides the obvious which is its about rims. but i mean in the 6th gen forum thats where everyone that has a 6th gen is most likely to see them and ask question and such.

Time to lower the front of that bish. I don't understand why Nissan is doing that with the Max and Altima.
