I've been in the market for new wheels. As much as I like the black on black look on my Maxima, it just seems like everybody is going with the black on black look. Booo!
I've been dreaming about these...Volk Racing LE37T in gunmetal.
Yes? No?
Hot? Not?
Opinion from you Maxima guys...new wheels???

One of my very favorite wheels. If they weren't so pricey, I'd already have some on mine.

my dad has a '99 maxima.
i really like that car.
i think volk is a good choice, though they are rather expensive.

yeah basically all the wheels volk makes are not only beautiful, but very light (reduced rotating weight = more power transferred to the ground) and extremely well built.
they're expensive but i think you'd get what you paid for.

As long as they dont have that red or orange stripe going around the outside edge, theyd look nice, but id prefer a brighter finish as black over gray kinda looks goofy to me.....
Nice wheels though, they will probably outlast the car

I don't think that is a red stripe going around the edge, but a reflection instead.

Re: (MetaOrbit)
Yeah, pretty pricey. But if I do decide to get them, I believe it will be a wise "investment".
