Dude - mad props. It looks really nice.

Now all you need is a good exhaust to solidify that rear section. Maybe a Tanabe? (hint. lol)

You got a Tanabe hook up?? Toss it over lol.

I actually got the two final pieces of my "first phase" done:
an exhaust: top-speed-pro-1-cat-back-exhaust-review-t542759.html
and a front lip

Small update:

My friend is selling his VS-XX with more Altima friendly specs than mine!

Image

Image

Image

You also have the option of getting MY faces with HIS widths and offsets!

Image

19x8.5 +26 up front and 19x10 +22 on rears.

Tires are still good 215/35 , 235/35
Price is negotiable: price with tires 2500 Obo
Price w/out tires 2200 Obo
He's really not trying to ship so shipping is buyer's expense. I'm just helping him out so I can maybe get his wheel faces ;)

2200 is a STEAL for these. I paid a lot more for mine AND waited 4 months.

Even WITH shipping its still a lot lower than retail. Shoot me a PM if you have any questions about fitment, the wheels or anything!

Mods if I need to move this post, I will, no problem!

Ide do it for 2200 shipped but that's because I could get them for that lol Let me know if he is ever in desperate need. I know its a low ball so dont be mad lol Just stating what I would pay. Also if you are selling your wheels let me know because I would love your wheels too. It would go great with my new theme Let me know how much.

I would be selling mine for a lot more than he is lol. If you can get yours for 2200 brand new then you should just do that instead of buying mine lol. I should have bought mine through you or whoever!

And what kind of tires does it have right now?

Great job on the car... this is probably one of the best looking altimas ive seen these days...

Question ... how do you tune the car so that it's that's close to the ground?

Also, From your front bumper , i can tell you're driving the same 2010 altima coupe as mine... Besides the 20'inch rims, what else did you put up there?

Great job man, truly an inspiration for me

Yeah, max low on BC's don't go so low.. If you have a body kit that might help since your frame will be lower but the wheel gap will still be a problem. You could try removing 2/3 of the gold locking rings on the struts.

naw, no body kit here. maybe stillen front in the future, but not anytime soon. saving up for coils is hard enough lol is that other dude on here (with the varrstoen bbs lm reps) on bc coils too? if i recall he was pretty low, but now that i think of it, i think he was on d2s...

don't know why i can't PM you alex, but i am new to the forum have gotten insanely interested in getting an AC based on how much you can modify the aesthetics of these things. what actually made me really interested in them also was seeing your car, looks so sick. have you seen the axis penta wheels? they appear pretty comparable to the work vs xx but much cheaper. also great work with the post about wheel fitment, i really learned alot from your post bro

Hey, SVT - Welcome to NICO!

It is possible Alex doesn't have his PM service activated. Best way to ensure your settings (and his) are correct, go to your User Control Panel, then Board Preferences, and Global Settings. Ensure all your messaging options are set correctly. I'm sure Alex will see your post and verify his as well.

You're on the best Altima forum on the internet - there is a lot of information here. Search up and post any questions!

Thanks man. I just looked up the pentas. You have a wide variety to choose from when it comes to mesh wheels! They all look about the same as far as the faces go. There're just subtle differences here and there.
