I’ve been thinking about getting some new wheels for the maxima. I like whats on there now, but would like something a little larger and a different look. Here’s what I have, 17x8 Borbet type E’s painted graphite with machined lip. This is my car: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/venompwr2/IMG_3188.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v239/venompwr2/IMG_3188.jpg) I’m in search of 18’s, and the choice is between these few rims. ![http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/tend61.mgm.xl.jpg](http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/tend61.mgm.xl.jpg) ![http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/tend61.brs.xl.jpg](http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/tend61.brs.xl.jpg) ![http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/tend62.mcm.xl.jpg](http://www.discounttiredirect.com/product/wheels/tend62.mcm.xl.jpg) They are Tenzo R DC-6’s, just different colors. I am a huge fan of SSR wheels particularly these on a maxima but they are too pricey for me. ![http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/ssr/swap/ssr_competition_ci3_l.jpg](http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/ssr/swap/ssr_competition_ci3_l.jpg) The tenzo’s are the closest looking style I have found aside from rota’s. so what do you guys think? ---

I think you should get something lighter than these choices. Tenzo-R 17x8’s are probably 22 lbs a piece or something stupid like that ---

what is the size bolt pattern and offset of Maxima’s, there are a few sets of Comp C’s or Comp H’s floating around for about the $1g mark that I know of. ---

5x114.3 and 35mm offset i believe zong, the wheels i have now are 22lbs already so if those are the weight I dont mind. If and when I go to the track i have another set of rims in the garage. ---

I checked out tirerack… they’ve got the SSR GT10s (18x8) on sale for like $330 a corner (50% off) – it’s not every day you can get a $3000+ set of wheels for around $1300. Unlike some ghetto tenzoR’s that you’ll spend $800 on and get $200 when you sell. you could rock these for a few years and sell them and get all of your money back. ![http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/ssr/swap/ssr_gt10_ci3_l.jpg](http://www.tirerack.com/images/wheels/ssr/swap/ssr_gt10_ci3_l.jpg) and those aren’t poser bolts either, reel 3 piece wheels up in here 😃 ---

I have too many projects going between rebuilding the motor and my bike etc. I’m still in college too and dont have unlimited finances to do whatever I please either. tirerack has the ssr’s decent price but it says they have less than 4 on hand :roll2: and they are all 19’s Gram lights 57 maximum are looking up my alley too ---
