I photoshopped MY car with the rims I wanted but it only made things harder LOL so I can't decide - I WAS going to go all nismo, including the wheels (nismo A34 19" Wheels), but I decided I wanted the nismo IN the engine, and I wanted the outside to look, flossy. I eyeballed a 2" drop on the first two pics... Please help. Thanks! *IF ANYONE DECIDES TO TAKE THESE PICS and repost, at LEAST give me some props where you use em! lol thanks!

What props? Those rims are "teh suck." I think they look horrible, especially on red, and don't fit the Altima very well.

lol props on my chop damnit! lol I don't like the rims nowadays as far as chrome go, so I wanted some discontinued ones... and the volks I want are $4000 without tires, and the nismos are only 19s - so yeah, if you HAD to pick one, pick one...

I used to have the Assassyns when they came out and had hydros with my car too - I guess it's a different look, different breed of things, but damn, the panties were a plenty LOL

ugh I'm sorry but both of those wheels give me the shivers. Especially on an altima. There are wayyy better wheel choices out there. Please do not post these in the wheel,suspension, tires forum or you will get flamed because they are not as forgiving as the altima members are

lol thanks for the feedback... honest feedback is always the best! I appreciate it... I've just really look for wheels, and I'd hate to have my coupe look like someone elses with one or three piece alloy wheels... and I'm tired of the deep dish look...

Too bad you guys don't live here because a guy is selling a like-new set of Nismo's for $1200 w/tires!! If I didn't have already, I would've jumped on the deal.

I have no opinion on the wheels because neither one is to my liking. Sorry. I pesronally like the aggressive, mesh type look. I really don't care for chrome!

If you were getting them for free, I would say go with #2. Since you're dishing out hard-earned cash for them, I recommend that you keep looking.

Wow, Assassyns! I had forgotten about those! They look horrible stationary, but pretty cool when moving!

I 'm sorry dude, and I know I'm gonna get flamed for this, but I always thought assasins were bad ***. I mean, they just don't look like any other type of rim out there...they're different. My rims, (if my wife lets me get them..yeah I know, but hey it's true) are so unique, I've only ever seen one other car with them. I can't give it away cuz I don't want any posers bitin' my style... lol.. no but seriously, your car is a reflection of you, not anyone else. If you like the assasins, run with them. IMHO, I would never post something asking for other folks opinions of something that I want... because IJDGAF!!! If I like them, and I get them, and you don't like them, then F*** you and what you're going through, ya dig.

But then again, that's because me and my boys operate off of the c.o.l.o.u.r.s. motto... Cool Outrageous Lovers Of Uniquely Raw Style. It's about self reflection, not reflecting what someone else finds acceptable or pleasing to their eyes...just my .02!

I agree with you rjdmmfl1. If he wants to roll on old school rims, than more power to him. The fact that a lot of us didn't like them on that car should dissuade him.

I completely feel that mang! thanks for the pos feedback pimpin! I used to do the car club thing - I was president of Notorious Nissans (l.a. chapter), and I recreated the same car club as Showin Out (two years ago), and we were some of the first to have japanese on hydros and bagged on huge unique chrome with all the engine mods back in 98 when the trend started. And we honestly never went by what dudes thought, because there was so much hate in the streets with us, so we just went with what sogged up the ladies around l.a. LOL and I've showed these same rims to a lot of girls and guys, and the girls LOVE them, especially the assassyns, and the fellas hate em. In this day and age when originality is scarce, and every 40" inch rim looks like the next on trucks, and every alloy wheel nowadays has lost it's originality as well as being EXTREMELY expensive for its FUNCTIONALity as being light and strong alloy wheels, I have came to my conclusion =]

*I remember three wheelin my sentra and 2000 altima to a stop in traffic, after murderin opposing car clubs with my switches, to only get out of my car walk and to my lifted rear wheel, and spin it by hand. FLOSSIN. Those were the days.
