I just picked up used Nissan Altima Coupe 3.5 SE. I decided I wanted to improve the look a little bit. I went with a new set of 20" Wheels and the Eibach Pro Kit. I'm very happy with the ride quality and I absolutely love the look!! I wanted to keep it very clean and "executive". Let me know what you guys think.

The car started off like this and I truly hated these wheels...

Then I moved to this...

Then I added the Eibach Pro Kit and now i'm truly satisfied!!!

Why are you set on getting a NISMO exhaust? And where in Canada do you live?

I'm from Toronto Canada. Based on everything I have read online, it seems as though most everyone prefers NISMO.

concave wheels are awesome, but not everything on the370z.com is good taste. some VIPinspired 370z are gaudy as hell, as well as all the pillar CF threads lol

These wheels are MSR wheels and were purchased in Toronto ON from a local shop. Very reasonably priced, although I know they are not the highest quality out there. Didn't matter to me, great looking wheels and best bang for the buck! I paid $1400 for wheels and tires (CAD currency) installed and everything...

Not a fan of VIP, nor have I have seen one recently on their forums. If it does get posted, it doesn't get highly viewed anyways. I would say majority of the peeps in the wheel section have pretty good taste. i.e volk, works, advans, srr. Their taste is also good in the suspension and engine forum. That can be due to the fact they have way more companies supporting the 370z. Not only that, but it's great reading their journals that they have in the Members gallery. Its fun to follow and watch how their cars evolve.

Had to revive this thread, as the rims are beautiful.
20' MSR, most likely 042 series. I found them at OKTire, what about you izey?

Thanks DAAN...those are the ones. In my honest opinion, they are some of the nicest rims around for this car. They are so clean looking, everybody is always asking me about them everywhere I go and each time i go out to the car i stop and stare. Add the drop to fill in the wheel wells and your good to go. I bought them from Wheels for Less up here in toronto with tires, 1400 installed.

Rims are 20x7.5 with 42mm offset, tires are 245 35 20. It's a perfect setup although be prepared when driving in cities! It sure feels bumpy around Toronto!

What's up Mike,

This is the lowest quote I got from Woodchester (403 & Dundas) Nissan, $1,400+ (can't remember the exact number) INSTALLED & taxes-in.


I would've picked it up but Apple is killing my budget this year. :inout: I will definitely upgrade next year, hopefully I can get it even cheaper.

Give them a shout. Later.

You might have just shown me the wheels I will buy for my car. Those are SO SICK!

So does this mean I need to hang around on the Z forums to stay in on all the badass new wheels?
