I added "pink and purple" to your poll so I could vote for it.


I also added bronze since you forgot to put that popular finish in your poll (see sig)

Do you not close the door when you're taking a picture because you didn't turn the car off and you're afraid it'll autolock?

Theory #1: The excessive weight of those wheels simply bent the frame of his car so the door won't close completely. True story.

Theory #2: He's afraid that the car will get angry at him for putting the stupid 20'' decal on it, and will lock him out. True story.

I think my car would just run my *** over if I ever put a chrome sticker on it.

Ima say it depends on your car and it's trim bro. Like for example, if you have chrome door handles (not sure if this came on 5th gens like my 4th gen GLE; pic below), I think chrome wheels may look better.



but if your 5th gen is all black with black door handles, you can float one of these choices; stock silver color or gunmetal.

Black with chrome lip looks good, but you may lose detail the with all the black in my opinion. I actually like the stock or aftermarket silver myself. I think this Maxima right here is one of the smoothest Maximas I've seen on this site (belongs to irish44j no doubt)



also, Deckdout2's Maxima is one of the hardest with the gunmetal



also, Revs2Hard's Maxima looks crazy with these gunmetal SE-R Altima wheels (I think). Need a couple more pics to see the real deal though...




It also could depend on what look you want too. For example (some looks based on my opinion);

1. Understated, grown man look = silver
2. Flashy, "girl get you *** in my car" look = chrome

You would have to provide more detail on what your end expectation is bro.
