Need Some Info On These Wheels..

[jcrome04]

Hey guys been a while since I've been on LOC.... def never been over here to the IS side though! LOL :whistles:

I just got some wheels for my 06 Maxima. They were on an older guys IS for 3 days when he bought it brand new, and decided he wanted "sportier" wheels. they are 100% mint. perfect condition. I'm trying to keep an OEM+ look, and these wheels are beautiful enough to look great and turn heads, yet not look cheesy or TOO flashy! (found on Craigs List for $600! wooooo!)

they are staggered, 18x8 and 18x8.5 +45F/R (right? haha)

I just want to know the "offical" name and color of these. I've been trying to google for things but I'm out of options at this point hahah

Thanks a lot!!!!!!

Finish? Hyper silver? I think it's called "paint". :chairshot:

[jcrome04]

i mean finish like..

chrome

black chrome

gunmetal

black

machined

polished aluminum

bronze..

is Hyper Silver what it is called? The guy I bought them from called the "Super Chrome" and I've never heard of that.

Good to see you!

They are just the standard IS350 wheels, no fancy name ;)

Not sure what they call the finish, a lot of Lexus' new wheels are that dark silver finish...

[jcrome04]

Is the IS forum the last place you think I'd pop up?? hahaha

Well I guess I'll call the Hyper Silver Type-C's lol.

Gorgeous set of wheels, def going to give the Maxima a nice look apart from others. Can't wait to get these things put on once the weather lets up!

[SW03ES]

I've learned never to be surprised by anything LOL

Don't feel bad...I bought optional 2010 Lexus OEM wheels that were simply called "E-Sport."

is +45 offset right for F/R?

That's the stock offset for the rims. What offset spec is the Maxima? I was just curious what this is going to look like, and how far out or in the wheels will be.

[jcrome04]

Is it 100% +45 for both F&R?

I just read somewhere that F=+45 and R=+50

I just want to be 100% sure of the specs before I get tires and everything.

The stock 17's for my car are.. 17x7+40 on 225/55/17

I have to have some lug nuts cut, and center bore of the wheels opened up 6mm to make these fit, a buddy works at a machine shop and can get it all done cheap&easy. but just want to make sure of specs before I start cutting up wheels :D

The Is comes stock with a staggered set up. (wider rims on the rear than on the front). So the front and rears are different sets. I assumed you had two sets of the front rims? If so, they will all obviuosly be the same offset. If you have a set of fronts and rears, then they are different offsets to compensate for the wider rim. If you have 2 sets of rear IS rims, then yes, the offset is +50.

[jcrome04]

Ok perfect.

yes I have staggered.

Sure I want to do it? lol i'm halfway there! just got wheels bored out +6mm lol

good it's +50, will poke a bit less than +45.
