5th Gen 18" Murano SE Wheels Gallery *PICS*

A few you may know, I am not happy with the noise level on the tires, so I am considering going back to my stock wheels. Before I do, I should post some pics for show. I haven't come across any on the .org yet, there probably are some, but they look so good I think they deserve a repost =) They'll look even better if I did a drop, add tint, and spoiler.

Rims:
- Nissan Murano SE
- 18x7.5 Front & Rear
- 35 Offset
- 5x114.3

Tires:
Front - 235/40/18 Dunlop SP Sport 8000
Rear - 245/40/18 Bridgestone Potenza 040

Can't say I'm feeling it. They just don't feel like a good match and I think it's because the spokes a bit too thick. And I'll agree w/ Irish - they just look heavy.

But I'll give you credit - certainly original.

Thanks =) I don't know how much they weigh exactly, but they don't feel any heavier than the stocks I had, so no disappointment there. I agree the spokes look too thick, that was the first thing that came to mind when I saw them online, but once I saw it in person, it looks way better, and after I put them on, I got a lot of compliments. I guess it's one of those "they look better in person" kind of thing. Doesn't matter now, I am going back to stock until I figure out what my next set of rims/tires should be.

P.S. I think they look better on a 4th gen since it's more rounded.

Not feeling it, those wheels were made for a Murano and should stay on a Murano!

Looks about as high as a Murano. Look at Djfrestyl's ride, he has some 18" muranos, but they are a different style.




I like these better.
