Looking for some daily wheels...

[Loud3 10+ year member]

Specifically looking for 17" wheels. The 20's are too big for daily driving on the coilovers...

These are the two wheels I'm looking at now... I've ALWAYS loved the BBS RS wheels. Clean, timeless mesh design... super light... you know. The works.

The first set is more of a 'face' wheel... but I can reuse the hoops of the SSR's for MANY, MANY other faces. Plus the price allows me to have them refinished.

Both are multi=peice, which means that they'll hold value and can be refinished relatively simply.

Anyone ever seen a maxima, or similar car... rocking either set?

i see u have a fetish for ugly silver wheels.. Plz keep the ones u have. they look very nice

but if you must, get the 1st ones.. the 2nd ones are gods gift to blind people

BBS RS wouldn't look right on a maxima IMO. I only see them on GTI's. MAYBE would look ok if you had a mad stretched tire and some serious stance. maybe...

or you could pain the centers on the BBS to match the color of your car. that might be cool. seen alot of RS's with colored faces that were sick as hell.

you have great taste in wheels, but those wheels belong on a euro

I thought you were trying to get rid of the car?

What about taking of the coil-overs off and see how it does?

I personally love the rims you have now.

One of the reasons I'm looking at them is because they'll be virtually interchangeable with my Mazda3 hatch, and if they don't flow as well with the Max... then I can try them on the hatch. I'm sure they'll flow on the 3.

I'm keeping the 20s, but they're going to be more of an option when the road I live off of, and work off of, gets finished. They're expanding it to a 4 lane, each way... and ****ing it all up!

I've decided that I am not going to get any interest in the way of trades that I wanted. Might as well finish it up, and call it a day.

Have you seen my stance? It's pretty solid.

And I'm going to polish them all the way around, I don't think colormatching would work on my Maxima.

Suby running 17" RS's...

BBS RS's with the right stance i think can look good on anything.

im about to build a set for my GTI this winter.
