Request for opinions please...

My wife saw these rims and I would like your opinions and inputs.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HAYAM...mZ360374996728

I did research and found the fitment and offset to be okay for my 4th GEN maxima. Am I correct that this rim will work? What tires should I go with? I have KYB AGX on Eibach Pro springs. Will there be any rubbing issue? Currently I have 15" steelies on the maxima. If anyone knows of any other rims that are chrome/polished blue,pink, or magenta. Please do post links. I am looking for 18" rims. I think 7.5-8" wide is where I would like to be. Any and all opinions appreciated.

Everyone knows that you don't put mustard on a Max...

I can't answer your fitment question. That's above my pay grade.

Gross, it's more of a lime green to me...and expensive IMO. Fitment would be, just okay, still tucked in a fair amount. But they would fit.

Have you checked discounttiredirect.com or tirerack.com? You should be able to pick up a complete wheel/tire package for under what you'll be paying separately on wheels and tires.

Is this maxima your car? What color car? Do you like the wheels?

The color of the maxima is Celestial Blue Mica off the 2011 Mazda 3. The wife wants to dress up the car. The rims look okay by itself to me. Don't know how it would look like on the maxima though.

So I should stay around 40mm for offset to avoid any chance for rubbing or tucking of the rim?

The rims would look good on a civic hatch or maybe a 240. Dont think they would look good on a max.

as far as offset . Guys run 19x8.5 G35 rims which have a 33mm offset and dont rub.

40 is to much imo. I say try to find something closer to 35 ,but also depends on the wheel width

google the topic for more info i cant really explain it .

Those rims are cool but the color is a killer no where near gold...
