19" Nismo Maxima Rims on sale for $489!!

[guitarist982]

I was looking around online over the weekend and found a set of 4 19" Nismo Maxima Rims for $489 @ http://mynissanparts.com/ . I know a number of people out there have them, but I couldn't pass on that deal.

I was going to get hit $125 for shipping and have to pay sales tax, until I realized they were about 6 miles from where I work and talked them into letting me buy online and pick up myself. It's the parts department at Trophy Nissan for any locals.

4 19" Nismo rims brand new in the box for $540

Guitarist,

If you are considering selling you 17" SE wheels email me. I am looking for a set for my Hybrid Altima. I have a set of Nismo 19" you just purchase and love them.

thats the best looking altima sedan i have ever seen! that looks amazing!

[gli liphon]

Wow, those are a crazy deal. With the way I drive I could never put a set of 19's on my A/C though, they'd be chewed up in a month.

Too bad they aren't running the same deal for the 18's!

I might sell if you want to foot the shipping bill from TX to CA

Thanks. I couldn't decide if the body mods were right for me, so the skirts and fascia are off right now. We'll see how I like it with just the wheels and then the kit might go back on.

Now I just have to decide on tires. I'm looking for either 245/35 or 245/40 for as close to $200 a piece as I can get. Anyone running a set they recommend? I'm slowly making my way through the wheel and tire section, but anyone want to through out a suggestion? Anyone have comments about the Goodyear Eagle F1 All Season?

I have the same nismo rims and I decided on running with Kumho Ecasta LX Platinum. I am running 245/40/19. I like them and haven't have had any problems with them. Plus they look real good

That's a read good deal for a set of 4....

[ohiostate]

Great find... Exactly what I was looking for...

The only problem Im having is tires for these bad boys are atleast 180 each!

I think Im going to call some local shops and see if they can get me a better deal on tires.......

[ohiostate]

Just called and talked to the parts department

Nissan is not making these rims any more, so when they are gone, they are gone.. A little worried if i dent a rim, I would have to try and find a replacement, or have to purchase all new rims

[LongBeachCoupe]

good deal man!

[banshee08]

Guitarist,

Tell me how much you want shipped for the 17s and I will certainly give it some serious thought. I would take them without the tire if possible since you will have to dismount the tires to get to the TPMS for your new wheels. I have the same nismo wheels amd running a set of Falkens on them. I have a buddy that is running the yokohama S. Drives and they are much quieter. Both of those are for under $200 a tire. Tires direct has some good deals on ebay right now also. Too bad the live cash back from microsoft is over thou.

There is only one set left...so if any of you were on the fence you better jump on it!I know, because there were two sets before I bought mine...

yep, last night I called and he said they had two sets left...

BUT what do you do if you dent a rim?From what i heard they are not manufacturing these any more..Any ideas/thoughts/comments??????????

That is the only thing really holding me back on thse rims, and of course the price of the tires...

It's my understanding that forged rims are quite difficult to dent, at least in comparison to cast wheels. I've never gone this low profile before, but I really don't think you really need to worry about it. Just try and avoid potholes.

As far as tires go ... yup they're kind of expensive. It all depends on your needs, though. I don't need $250 or $300 tires since I don't race or anything like that. I'm leaning towards the General Exclaim UHP. $150 per tire and well rated. That's well within the same price range of any 17"-20" tire.

Worse case scenario - you dent a rim and sell your other three as full size spares to the others on here, and presto ... you got all your money back.

But seriously, this entire set of wheels cost nearly as much as some of the single rims I was looking at. It's too good of a deal to pass up

Banshee - Not sure about selling my stockers yet. Can't decide if I'll buy some TPMS sensors off Ebay or have them taken out of the factory wheels. Either way I've got some time to think about it since I'm going to wait until I run the tread down on my current set before I put on the Nismo's (of course that's what I say now, but we'll see how long I can just sit back and look at those boxes on my floor )

Yes, that is why forged rims are way more expensive. If you run 245/40/19 with good tires then you shouldn't have to worry about dent rims.

Well after reading guitarist982 post, I bought them... I was thinking the same thing, if that for some reason one gets dented, I will just sell off the other three.

Kuhan- thanks for the information about the rims, and I yes was planning on running the 245/40/19 so everything should be good..

Also since these rims are made for our cars, kind of a no brainer to purchase them...

Well thanks for all the information, very helpful!!!

[digitalbow]

Hmm... can't find em. Did they sell them all and remove them from the site? Link?

[xeene]

probably, there were only a couple sets remaining and they have been discontinued.
