Will 5 spoke tires look good on the sedan

I have looked all over the old posts but most sedans do not have a 5 spoke design.

I want to know how the axis elite wheels would look on the sedan.

Any thoughts?

Can anyone photoshop them on a grey 2010 sedan?

This is from tirerack's view on vehicle app. They don't have the axis elite wheels; but these are somewhat similar (albeit cheaper) 5-spoke wheels.

Are those staggered?

Im looking to stay away from staggered cause I have AWD.

THAT is a very nice looking combo! Accentuates the chrome trim very well and really fills out the wheel wells. Nice indeed!

Yes... 5 spokes look GREAT on the sedan... just be picky about which ones you choose.

Check out TSW Thruxton and Jarama, and Petrol Throttle. Those would be hawtness!

Nice! Are you on a drop?

I have a set of Nismo 19" wheels with Nitto Invos on them. Trying to sell them locally so I can possibly get 20s for the summer. I don't want a 4x4 look, but at the same time, I'd like to get by without springs if I can. I lowered my Maxima and I was bottoming out everywhere. It stunk! And the crappy Chicago roads... Ugh!

hey fuse, you have given great advice in the past. How do you think the axis elites compare to the ones you suggested?

I think they'd look good on your sedan!

Maybe I missed it... if so, oops! What size are you looking at? 18s? 20s?

19s are really the sweet spot, but tires cost a fortune. That's the spot I'm in right now. lol

I am looking at the 19's actually.

And I don't really want to run staggered on my AWD so I figured these have no lip and would look good non staggered.

And I dont really plan on a drop.

What do you think?

19" would be perfect... just shop for tires before you do anything... they are pretty costly compared to 18s and even 20s.

If it's worth it to you and you can swing it... definitely go 19s!

Yea I am going with falken 452's. I think they are best bang for the buck.

I'm looking for 18" 5 spoke rims that would clear the Sport brakes on the sedan.
