Are there any 5th geners rockin the nismo rims I'm lookin to get a set I just want to see how they look first. I've seen plenty of pics on 6th gens but none on a 5th. Thanks

 

I second that.

 

I haven't seen any. You should ask someone to PhotoShop them for you.

 

I plan to get a set of 18" Nismo Rays for my 04 Maxima. Anyone have any suggestions on the perfect tires to go along with them?

 

Ask and you shall recieve.
Oh, and IBhow'stheweatherupthere.

I installed them back in October. Personally, I think it's one of the better looking wheels for the 5th gen. The fronts are as flush as you can possibly get. And don't worry, H-techs and Illuminas are in the closet waiting for an install post-Xmas. Enjoy.

 

^^^ tire size on them?

 

MIK3 - Those Nismos work well with your ride.

 

^ Thanks.

The tire size is 245/35/19, it's a perfect fit.

 

That looks great Mik3, reminds me of the Volk CE28s. I've always contemplated those Nismos in the darker finish on my 2002 but just don't want 19s.

 

^^^ Same here, but at $500-600 for 4 rims thats just a great deal.

Its either the 18" rays track in black or Nismo Rays 19" in black

both weigh less then 20lbs IIRC

 

^^^
the 19" nismos weight just over 21lbs.

 

20.6lbs (measured)

And the Nexen's are only like a 23lbs tire or something like that too, so it's a good set up for light-weight. And so far, they sure don't feel like 19''.

Plus, like someone mentioned above, you are not going to find another product 18"+...Forged...and Rays/Volk for anywhere near the price you can get these. Thanks all for the compliments.

 

Here is a pic of my 5.5 gen with the Gunmetal flavor. I realized that the gunmetal color matches my grill and the boarder of my headlights (lucky bonus!).Let me know what you think guys !

 

Looking sharp man. Did you end up picking them up from a dealership? I think you're the 3rd active member with them on now. We gotta start the 5th gen Nismo wheel crew soon.

 

I ended up calling a few dealerships across the country(only 2 dealerships left with this flavor), and I fortunetly came across a set in Chicago. I'm originally from Chicago, but i moved down to Austin for a career oportunity. Any who my brother picked them up for me, you wouldn't believe how much i got them down too, 600 flat! He mailed them over and the next day i was off installing them . I'm surprised not many Max owners have considered these wheels. They fit very flush, and ride really well considering the size(245 35 19). We definately need to put together a group for these great wheels! Let me know how you'd like to do this?

 

Those do look great in gunmetal... hmm, maybe I need to get over that they are 19s and start looking for a good deal on these....

 

I like them better in gunmetal for sure. Geez $600, thats a freaking steal.

 

the color of the wheel depends on what the color of the car is.
Silver goes perfect with pearl white

 

Very true nice combo . I'm still debating on lowering my car any suggestions?

 

Well, zero rubbing issues with the Illumina/H-tech set up. Not so sure about S-techs, I'm sure some rubbing will occurr. As you can see by SpooledVQ35's, the Tein coilovers are an excellent choice as well if you have the $$. I hear Progress offers a nice drop with good ride quality as well. Here are some pics of mine w/ the suspension.







I must say, however, that the springs have since settled a bit. The front is definitely lower and that gap is not so much relevant, which I am very pleased with.

 

man those look really good in the gunmetal version.

 

^ HOT!

 

+1 for gunmetal

 

Good looking wheels, and light too!

 

that gunmetal would look great on my 5th gen w/ all the AE 'accents'...

 

Those Nismo Rays wheels look really great especially with the gunmetal version.

rims look real good on a 5th gen...would look even better on a drop...lol

 

I saw some on a sweet 5 Gen that was dropped. It was sick!!

Crazy even!

 

Just got my set in gunmetal, looks awesome on my silver car.

 

Damn, that's hot. More pics in Members Rides please.

 

damn those stock front brakes look wimpy as hell. my 13" cobra's still looked wimpy under 19s. we need a 15" rotor kit...

 

Will do! Just gotta get time to do a real photoshoot with my car. :P
