I like those a lot. May look better on a darker color car, but the wheels themselves are very nice looking. I've been looking for something similar. Thanks for the link!

I think they'll look alright in gunmetal, problem is they only come in 7.5" width. Personally if I'm upgrading wheels I want to go to 8", but I stll think they'd look good.

7.5" wide will work, but it is only .5" wider than the stock wheels. The main purpose of aftermarket wheels is to increase performance. After having both 7.5" wide wheels and 8.5" wide wheels, I will never buy skinny wheels again.

It's really up to you if you want to leave the aftermarket wheels on in the winter. Personally, I take mine off and put the stock wheels back on. If someone with a silver max would post pics with some gunmetal wheels, you'd get a lot better idea of how it would look. I don't think I've seen any silver maximas with gunmetal wheels though, so it's a blind opinion. Wider wheels will help you more with traction and stability. It's obviously your final decision. I really don't think it would make a huge difference in the long run. I could be wrong though, I'm no expert.

Gunmetal looks terrible....makes the wheels look plastic...I don't think I'd go with that for my silver car, but to each their own - good luck if you get them!
