Opinions...new wheels???

I've been in the market for new wheels. As much as I like the black on black look on my Maxima, it just seems like everybody is going with the black on black look. Booo!

I've been dreaming about these...Volk Racing LE37T in gunmetal.




Yes? No?

Hot? Not?

Can't go wrong with LE37T, I still like the design although it has been at least 3 years since I first saw them, but they're expensive.

On a Z, yes, they look tits. Really tits.

But on a Maxima... I'm not so sure. :\ Just different styles.

I guess we'll find out when I get them. I think they'll look hot in a G. Black!

I think I'm staying with the black on black look...I think it's classy looking.

I don't think you can go wrong with most Volk wheels.

Not sure, need advice please...

I am new here, so not allowed to post new thr. yet

I have read many posts, but still not sure.

My car is 2002 stock SE suspension.

I am planning on buying AZA Z-10 wheels 18 x 8.5 offset 35 and would like to put 225/45.
Is the rim toooooo wide for 225 tires?
Will I have any problems with rubbing or the tire snapping off the 8.5 rim when taking curves?

Back up plan:
My second option is replica G35 18 x 7.5 offset 30 with 225/45. What do you think of this one?

I really do not feel like dropping my car to reduce the wheel/fender gap on the 235/40.


Please advice me.

I'd prefer the LE37's over these because it seems a lot of companies have copied the design above. For example, the ADR Sokudos look almost identical to them, of course the VR's would be much larger & better looking. I'm also not liking the multi bolt pattern of the LE28N's.

Yeah, alot of companies try to copy them.

Rays Engineering is on the wheel on the real ones tho. Not just a sticker or a center cap, but it's actually on the wheel itself near the lip.
