i fixed the link for you.. when you want to post an image... click the "mountain with yellow backround" button on the posting page.. then paste the link inside the IMG codes..

Come to the 12/13 meets and meet some of the guys!Ill give you a ride in my 20"s and you can see if its too rough for you..

Also, i wouldnt ride on the 20s (or 19s for that matter) thru the winter if you are planning on getting performance tires... and if its 20s, i dont think you can really FIND all weather tires that will fit suitably..

I like the 2nd one.. but i wouldnt drive em in the winter.. i think chrome will wear badly in the winter with salt etc...

Come to the meet first, then get your wheels, you will see lots of stuff there...http://forums.altimas.org/zero...-meet

Yes... Salt is an abrasive and i just wouldnt want to run chrome wheels through it, especially stuff thats not "triple dipped" or really high quality...

Im more concerned about your tires though, you are a new driver and if you get 20s your tires will not provide the winter traction you need at all...

Id take a check from the "gift giver" and say you want to wait till you see the best deal... Come to the meet, talk to some of the guys, eyeball some wheels and ride on 20s and 19s in person to make a better informed decision!
