Your Opinion of these wheels?(Just added some new wheels)

[HIM_Darling]

Thinking of getting these Kazera KZ-Y wheels for my Rogue? What is everyones opinion of them? I'm getting new ones because the others look dull, with the side bars being so shiny.





This is my car now:

I like the stock wheels better, looks less ricer.

[harryg]

those look good but it depends on wat size they will be

[rogueagent08]

those look good but it depends on wat size they will be

those are only offered in 17"

i would definitely not replace the factory wheel with the same size wheel. it's just gonna make your car look goofy. i would not do a wheel upgrade less than 19" likehttp://www.tirerack.com/wheels...Brand

this is just my $0.02

Is there any way you can re-size your pics because it can get annoying trying to look at the post and gives a headache. I know we love our rogues and they deserve to be shown in real life size and nothing less.....lol. But its hard to read at times.

Ok, first my opinion on the tires. SINCE you said that you were into auto show contests, so for a show car, I would do something that shows: Compared to smaller tires So in my opinion, for shows and contests in general. I would like too see some tires like these. A bigger more aggressive stance. Like I said SHOW, so this does not mean ride and comfortability. The size is up to you, but the bigger would look better. I know your still in your 20's so I am sure you can handle the ride. Like harryg said, it depends on size. The one's you chose is ok, but make the size more aggressive. That will compliment the nerf bars.Check out these Muranos. Now that shows!:

And this one!

Those rims look really good, it's all about personal preference, and I happen to like the narrow spoke look, however with that style of wheels it really exposes your brake hardware. Once you install them it might highlight some of the imperfections in your stock rotors and calipers and you might consider replacing them with some nicer looking hardware.

Another good idea is to photoshop the image of the rims onto an image of your Rogue so you know exactly what they'll look like once they're mounted. It's really simple to do but so effective because we all know how different something can look in real life compared to a catalogue or store.

[Eikon]

I like those rims a lot. I don't think they they are ricer, and I don't think you need huge rims to make it worth the upgrade.

My best advice... don't go 19's... For some reason 19" tires cost way more than 18's... and for some reason more than 20's as well.

I think 18" is just right.. but again, it's all personal taste.

[HIM_Darling]

I am also considering getting these 18" ones. They cost more so I will have to wait longer to get them and I will also have to buy new tires.

[HIM_Darling]

Also if I buy new tires, does anyone know how the Lifetime Nitrogen fill works? Do I have to buy tires from Nissan for that to apply or what?

[harryg]

thos rims look good but personally too small and not sure about the black with indigo blue

i would go with the 22inch version of those rims

*tried posting a pic from tirerack but it only showed the stock wheels???*



or even these but then again these are A LOT more expensive take the suggestion above and photoshop em onto the real life picture

To get a pic you have to press CTRL+Print Screen and then paste it on paint and then select just the car part and save that and then upload it to an image hosting site and then put it on here. I was using tirerack to get my pictures. Honestly I wasn't looking to get really big wheels. Maybe the 20" ones but since they cost nearly $300 a wheel I was gonna just stick with the 18".

Yeah, you can see my stock calipers much more after I put my OZ's on it. One thing you can do HIM_Darling if the calipers are too noticeable is you can pick up a caliper painting kit and paint them.I'm going to paint them black to further the red on black look I'm going for, and also because the calipers aren't really one-piece (or, one-piece looking at least), so I figure black won't show all the parts of the caliper as much as say, red paint.

Here's a shot where you can clearly see the calipers:



Also, I like the first wheels you posted best!

Love the wheels but I also like aggressive tires. I went with 225/70-16's on five spoke alloys, and as soon as they run thin I'll move up to 235's. My 2009 S is AWD and I want a tire platform that takes full advantage of that plus gives me a bit more clearance and footprint for sticky situations.

[HIM_Darling]

So I've found some more wheels that I like here are the pics of them:

Here is a pic of what my rogue would look like with the 20" Mazzi Fatals

Meh, too much bling for me.

Ditto, here.

[HIM_Darling]

Lol, actually now that I've thought about it more I think you're right. They would be fun at a car show, but a bit too much for everyday. I'm thinking about these Mazzi Stars. I kinda have a star thing going with the rogue so, now I just need to decide if I want 18" or 20" wheels. Ahhh...choices, choices. Lol. The 20" wheels are $70 more a wheel, not to mention to extra cost of tires. Would it really look that much better in the 20"?

[harryg]

I like those wheels the best as well, the other ones were a little too flashy

personally I would go with the 20 inch in order to fill the wheel gap up a bit more plus personally I think 18s would look too small unless you lower it like Eddnog did with his

also it may just be me but those look like there 20s in the pic u have on the rogue and they look good
