Maxima wheels on 03 sedan... Your thoughts? (Installed Pics Pg.3)

Thinking of something a little different. While browsing CL, I ran across a set of these Nissan Maxima 18" chrome wheels and a decent price. Just wondering what you guys thought of how they'd look on my 03 DP sedan (Doggy). Keep in mind, I will be adding the Nismo Aero kit soon, so that may be a factor. Here's a pic of what they look like:



Don't know the offsets or if they'll even work. Will research that later if I feel they'll be a win. I'd like to keep the Infiniti/Nissan theme, would like to upgrade from my OEM 17's and will likely do the Z/G drop.

Photoshops welcome!

thanks ya'll,
rob.g

Not many people are a fan of chrome on here thats forsure.. also why not get coupe 19s? or get 350z 18s would look way cleaner IMO..

I actually have a set of OEM 350z wheels for sale if interested.

personally, I hate those 350Z wheels and would take those maxima wheels over them anyday.

The 350Z track wheels, and the NISMOs are the only ones i'd consider off the 350Z

weird there are numerous sedans that run those 350z wheels and look pretty clean

I personally would run 18" 350z wheels than 17" chrome maxima wheels any day

I wasn't cosidering the 6-spoke maxima wheels (like on Berto's), just the 5 spoke ones in the pic (which are 18x8's). I do like the 350z wheels, but am also on a budget and these can be gotten for cheap.
The 19" Rays are awesome, but like I said, looking for something a little different. I'd like to be subtle about the mods, so an easy drop, the Nismo kit and some authentic Nissan/Infiniti wheels are topping my list.
Also thought about the M45 sport wheels, but again, crazy expensive (not that they're not worth it) for my budget. I also don't want to have to add spacers and such (keep it simple).
I think I might opt for coupe 18's also, they are still a clean look and not near as much, price-wise.

And, not sure about the offset, so don't know if the FWD would be an issue.

Coupe 18's can be had for pretty good prices with tires. Plus you can run OEM size tires later: 235/45/18 and rotate front to back and vice versa. Hope you find something nice!
