? for those with Gauge Rings -->

Just got a set of chrome gauge rings yesterday, and seems like the rings are a bit smaller in diameter than the plastic bezel's openings. It winds up cutting off the view of some parts of the mile-per-hour tick marks on the dial, and touches the needle on the temp gauge when it is in the "cold" position. Are yours the same way?

I have the rings from SY as well, and yes, they do overlap a little into the guage circle. But its really minimal, and at night, the MPH tick marks actually reflect onto the rings, making the guages look a little larger!

Check the "FOR SALE" section of the board...
Or, you can try sending him a Private Message (PM).

Did you get your Rings from me?
If so, then they should be PERFECT fit for 4th Gen Maxima (A32).

A32= 4th Gen
A33= 5th Gen

If not, it's because the rings (from e-bay or another org member) designed the rings to accomandate both 4th and 5th Gen Maxima's and the TEMP and FUEL rings on the 5th are a bit smaller than the 4th gen.

So with my Cefiro Chrome Gauge rings where it fits our 4th Gen perfectly, but the 5th Gen Maxima would have to shave/grind down their OEM black plastic bezel to accommadate these Cefiro Chrome Gauge Rings.

It's easier and will work for Cefiro Rings to fit A32 perfectly and minor modification to fit A33's. But it would be hard to work in reverse (to get the A33 Rings to fit A32's)


If you have purchase the Cefiro Chrome Gauge Rings from me. I would be glad to take a look and exchange a set for you. Please contact me!

Thank you
