Ok, it's a PITA to find pics of these wheels on car. Went to the maxima forum and got one. These come on 09-2010 models (I guess as upgrade). I'm liking these wheels becasue they got a 350z shank vibe to them. The ones I'm looking at have some curbage, so thought about smoothing them out, blasting them and having them painted or powdercoated (silver or gunmetal).

After digging through hundreds of pages of posts on the maxima forum, found a couple more pics of these wheels. Don't know if anyone has visited their site yet, but it's a PITA unless you're rockin 22's or larger. All I can say is, wow... Prolly won't be visiting their site that often.
Anyway still considering these and blasting them to either have painted or PC'd hyper silver. Definitely not feeling the chrome, but like the style:

The OEM 09-10 Maxima wheels look pretty sick if you can find them for the right price. Otherwise coupe 18's would probably be the way to go for wheels on a budget. I'm not feeling the older generation Maxima wheels as much.

Yep, it's a toss up. I'm thinking that if it's not these exact ones, I'll either opt for coupe 18's, 350z V2's or M45 19's (only if I can score these at a stupid price, which is unlikely).

Borrowed some tires from Big O today and installed two to get an idea of what they'd look like. I like the style, but definitely not digging the chrome. Keep in mind, I'm still on stock suspension (got Z springs waiting in the garage) and a Nismo kit is in the works. Feel free to do some color photo chopping... I'm thinking hyper silver:

They weren't showing up before, but they are now.
Yeah, I wasn't sure at first... now seeing them on the car. Definite no from me. The chrome just isn't doing it.

Don't like the style or just don't like the chrome?
I don't like the combonation of the chrome/style/your paint color.
For instance, I really like Aaron's wheels on his car. Or Ernie's.
I also like Tim's (blue dream) and Tim's (Ttrank) wheels even though they're chrome
The design of these, I'm not sure if it would work with the G in any color.
Kinda thinking they won't.
