I was wondering what a Max would look like with Murano wheels so I photshoped this. Opinions?

 

NOOOOOOOOOOoooooo................... The bottom picture rims look much better. cute kid...

Curious, did you drop down a wheel size to 17's? Look smaller than normal for an SE...

 

I think the top one looks better

The wheels in your sig look kind of small for some reason...

might be that wheel gap that makes it look small

 

Yeah, lower it a little so it doesn't sit so high and it might look better...

 

I dont think they would look to bad. I did the chop of the murano wheels on my car a couple years ago and was considering them. What size are the wheels you have right now?

 

I've seen a Max w/ Murano wheels here on the org, don't know who.

 

Those are 18's on my car now, they look small because they have 235/40/18 tires on them. I bought the wheels and tires as a package not thinking about how the car came stock with 18's. So my overall diameter is smaller. Which I don't like, therefore, I'm looking for different wheels and tires.

 

How about fx45 20" wheels?

 

mymax97, he has a 4th gen with murano rims.

 

Have a friend who had Murano 18's on his 02 max and they looked sick w/his drop...I love the fx45 20's i love that style but I don't want 20's on my 2k2 SE, They look good in that photoshop, if they fit would be nice

 

ive got muranos on my 98

 

That would be me.


Cool i know how to add photos now.

Edit: If you want to do some more photoshoping can you see what they would look like in chrome on urs and mine?

 

If that helps you do the photoshop. There are more pics on ebay.

 

the murano wheels look like they belong....on an SUV. they look heavy a hell (and they ARE heavy as hell, also)....don't like the look at all. Those wheels are just ugly, IMO.

 

For 18s they are acctually pretty light. I weighed them in when i first put them on (no to accurate b/c it was wheel and tire weight combo) but it was 1lb lighter then the sawblades.

 

I think those wheels look great! Was actually going to put them on my 3rd gen, but have decided to go for more of a gunmetal finish wheel and possibly 17's instead of 18's

I bet the chrome ones would look awesome!

 

get the muranos and call it a day, def a hot stock nissan wheel that (i think) belongs on a max

 

I don't think that's correct. There's almost no way an Murano 18" wheel is going to be lighter than a stock 15/16" maxima wheel. Even the Forged Rays track edition 18" 350z wheels are 18 lbs each.

 

Jeff92se: I am not saying thats completly correct. There is a couple of variables that im not accounting for.

1) It was wheel and tire weight. Different Tires on the muranos then on the sawblades.
2) If it matters they were mostlikely different PSI
3) It was on a bathroom weight scale

When i get new tires (within a month or so) i will weigh them with no tires to get an exact weight for all of you.

 

Your Murano wheels probably weigh in the area of 25-26 lbs. I will guess. With tires, it will be 48-52lbs.

 

my scale show like 43-46 i forget but i know it was in the area. (low-mid 40s)

 

That might be correct. Let us know when you get a chance to put them on the scale again.

 

My Sterling Mist 5th gen with the Murano's

http://www.eden.rutgers.edu/~nbalani...Murano%20Rims/

 

Looks good. But take some photos from a better angle.

 

Maybe in the spring......

 

those murano's are 18s uh?

 

Yessir.

10 chars.

 

My 98 w/ Muranos wrapped in 235/40 Toyo Proxes. I wish I had the cash for a nice drop and body kit to make it look a lot better.

 

Muranos look pretty tight to me and they are probably stronger and have a better weather finish than aftermarket rims. So if you don't want to spend a whole lot and have big rims that don't scream HEY RIP ME OFF!!! Then muranos are a pretty sweet option. Here's mine wraped up in 235/40 Toyo Proxes 4 I always get compliments on them and people ask if they come standard with the car. I sometimes say yes...



Anyone know how to make image quality better and how to resize?

 

Get a camera that can take better pictures?

Nice rims though

 

LOL thats a good start! If you guys saw the camera i'm using now you'd laugh!!! It sooooooo old school! My cannon sd450 got milk on it so I'm waiting to buy another one. The one i'm using now is some old school Nikon that only uses........... AA batteries!

 

it still takes pictures though.

 

the Murano's look good IMO, especially on the 6th gens.

 

I feel that they may be small. Do you have pics to reference to? The first pic is a photoshop....

 

to all those w/Murano wheels, how is the ride with them? Is it better than your stock wheels? Im lookin for some wheels that will look nice on a Pearl White 5th gen SE/GLE

Thanks

 

UMMMM....

We'll theyre 18's if that is what you are asking about...which will be firmer than your 16's or 17's, but not as firm as 19's....

Handling is improved because they're wider.

With the exception of firmness, wheels really don't tell how your ride is going to be, that's more how much sidewall your tires have, as well as how soft/stiff your suspension is.

 

thanks, but as u may know..Im a newbie. Dont know too much about Max's other than the fact that I've like them for a long time. do u have any pointers/ideas/suggestions on slightly modding my car? you can email me @ jeronyoung2002@yahoo.com I'd really appreciate it

 

Start reading the stickies and FAQ's in the 5th gen forum. Typically you will be able to find most of your simple questions answered before you even post. READ READ READ, anything and everything you can find.

 

As for riding you'll feel road imperfections more due to the lower profile tires that you have to use. They're pretty sweet rims i'm happy with them can't go wrong for 275!

 

With the 18's you'll feel the road more because now you are on a much lower profile. I went from stock 205/55/16 to 235/40/18. I notice the bumps and imperfections more, but it isn't as uncomfortable as you might think. I keep mine inflated pretty well, too, because the lower profile needs to be more carefully monitored so you don't run the rubber off the rim. The picture of my black SE on Muranos wasn't photoshopped for anyone who saw it posted. I only added this because of the one comment up above.
