I think the 18x7 size is wrong for a Maxima and personally don't like the universal 10 hole look on a wheel. What matters most is if you like them.

Yeah...idk know why but I really like these I think they would look pretty good. Also I don't think the width would be that big of an issue, I mean the stock wheels are only 17X7 so it would be just an inch bigger diameter...

they make look nice to the eyes, but when you put them on, they sometimes bend pretty easy cuz of the cheap metal it was made with. its cheap dude, dont get it. shouldnt go cheap on wheels,

Alright...honestly I don't think I will have the funds for a while now...but I think I will probably end up buying some of the 18" G35 wheels, I have found several sets for around $500 so that's not too bad.

Weak offset...

OEM rims (Z/Gs) would be a better bet (as far as fitment and quality goes) but if you want aftermarket ones then go with something you really want. 10 bolt pattern makes it look dumb IMO.

And the design itself is meh.

No. They look awkward. Too many spokes for me, and the 'universal' lug pattern doesn't float my boat, either.

Don't cheap out on wheels. If you buy a weak set, and manage to slam into a pothole -- you can do ungodly damage that'll cost you more than a quality set of wheels in the first place.

The wheels are nice! They flow with your car quite nicely.

Now time for the moment of truth, you should stay away from Ebay rims, they are cheap and look nice at first. But the paint quality might be crap or extremely brittle where a single rock gently scraping it would go straight to bare metal. Or like previous members said the rims might warp from daily driving because of the weak metal used.

If you are going to buy rims online and are looking for a kind-a-cheap option, you should try Discount Tire Direct sometimes they'll have those rim and tire packages that are a bit more. But you get peace of mind.
