Maxima with blue rims- I need some opinions on rims

So, I've decided not to put any more money into my car except for dumb **** like stickers or something useless (I'm kind of good at that.)

I need a drop big time, but I figure if I save some money, put it into something that will make money, in the future I will have the funds to go all out and not be struggling with making this thing perfect.

So anyway- Here is what the car looks like now











(The rice box was adding too much power and I was getting wheel spin so I had to take it off)




I am looking to do something new.

I have 2 ideas in mind that I think would look....good.....in my mind that is.

A. Snow Camo Rims
B. White Rims with Graffiti on them

I'm assuming this will be a controversial thread, but hey, its for fun.

Will it have the same effect as the ricebox or should the horse power be maintainable?

get yourself some red/clear tails and peel off the stickers. lip kit looks good, but like you said rims definitely need to go and you need a drop.


also if you havent already, join maxima.org they are a really nice community with a wealth of information and parts.

No one said you're a ricer directly. Most people mocked your mocking of rice that you've attached to the tow hook. Were you deprived of attention when you were younger?

LOL, now why go ahead saying something like that?

I mean I wish there was a more indepth reason for it, but there isn't.

I found it funny.

I wasn't mocking ricers, it was more or less just to get some laughs.

I think you guys are looking to far into this. I like the crazy colored rims and ****, while it may reflect my personality, its simply because I like those colors, not anything to do with being paired with attention. Hell, I've had the car all black before and no one noticed (Kind of liked that way the best).

If you like those colors then knock yourself out, my name is not on the title, so not my car.

Okay where to begin. I'll start with the good.

The lip kit looks good
Your plans to lower the car good

Now the bad.
A dark car with dark colored, ie dark red, blue, green, Looks like ****. Go for a brighter blue. You said you like crazy colored rims. So go bright colors.
Get rid of the **** rims you have now. I don't know what kind they are but they look poop. There are a bunch of other options out there that don't cost a crap ton of money.
Also the tail lights are a little ehh to me but its not that big of a deal.

My friend had a white maxima slammed and it looked amazing so don't worry if its not that way now.

"So, I've decided not to put any more money into my car except for dumb **** like stickers or something useless (I'm kind of good at that.)"

when you start a thread off like that it makes me think "ricer". If you are just painting your rims some stupid color or something because you want to "have fun" idk why you'd post on a car enthusiast website. If you want us to give you ideas on what would look best and hopefully persuade you to modify and style your car in a way that makes the automotive scene better instead of worse, then im sure plenty of ppl would give you their opinion. Personally i think painting the wheels silver, or gunmetal, or maybe even black would look 10243820470x better than they do now. Also that windshield banner should go bye bye.

Just my opinion though since you wanted to know why i called you a "ricer" so badly. If you dont like my opinion than its all good i try not to push my style on other people but hey, you wanted opinions.

edit: And yea like Teku said, the wheel choice and tail lights are meh. I rather see them both go back to stock and use the money for coilovers and save up for some better wheels over winter or something. Again, just an option, they arent TERRIBLE by any means really a drop would really pull the lip kit and wheels together.
