Here is a pic of the Q with 2000 Maxima SE rims. 17x7 rims, 235/45/17 tires. Sorry, no beautiful vistas in the background, just some quick and dirty driveway snapshots...

Thanks Wes. They are Nissan center caps - straight from the Maxima. I'm hoping to do the driveshaft over the upcoming 3-day weekend...

Ohhh, NICE. Those are the newer Maxima wheels. I think those fit the look of the Q even better.

I dont know, yours looks reall good, its gotta be the black, are you gonna do the Eibachs? Joe has the whole package Blues and the springs for a good price, I think it comes with the dust boots also.

Ya know Wes you are right i still like the classic looks of the fat MSW spokes, we have a older 540 here in town with your wheels on it and I cant get over how good they look, I however cant wait to get Heavys wheels

I'd sure like to go with Eibachs. I just purchased the car and need to spend a good amount on getting the car in the right mechanical condition before I spend too much on "wants". Love the look with the Eibachs though...

Im still patiently waiting for a set of 2 18s to top off the look...... HOwever with the 17/18 combo you do save a little on tires..... Kind of stupid but hey, i didnt pay anything for it!

Man, I know this, he's told me tons of times, cause they only a 93 load rating.

I think he's at the Colts game today, so don't expect a reply until this evening.

He does have his winter set on there now, and I could be wrong about the 93 load rating on his 18's.

My guess is he's enjiying himself right now, the Colts are kicking some butt.

17x8.5 in the front, 18x8.5 in the rear.

The rear tires have a 94 load rating, and the fronts have a 95.. I once said that the front had 94, and the rear 93.. Im pretty sure anyway... Whatever the case is, i think it will be OK for a while since the tires are all Z rated...

Whatever the case is, they need ot get me through next year and then ill get some realy sticky tires.....

Right now i got a set of brand new turbine wheels on, with firestone firehawk 235-60-15... Nice tires, decent in the snow and they handle surprisingly well... Really squishy sidewall due to the S speed rating, but 98 load rating.....

Every car on this page looks great. All are clean, and the wheels look good on every one. The 16's on the white EQ's look very oem.

Ok, now I know why i spent like 5 minutes staring at that pic wondering what was going on??

Nice pic, nice looking car. I like the looks of all these, but I want a big nasty lip on my rims, I'll have to get some tires put back on my old silver 5 spokes. Unless someone wants to donate a complete set of BBS RS-GT 18's to me., I'll buy the tires .

I second that, but I do believe elwesso's B.A.D. wheel/size combimation is what I'd have to shoot for......17's on the front and 18's on the rear really balance the looks of the whole car.....dosen't looked gaudy and "tricked out", but a subtle improvement.........best I've seen so far.....maybe 9" wide would look just a tad better......
