I've been mentally shopping for some 19" for my Slate Grey Altima Coupe. It seems like all the ones I like are the cheapo's. Which is good, but maybe they're cheap cuz they're not the "cool" ones. For example. I like these

$274/each

$177/each

$253/each

$218/each

Now if i could afford them, i'd want these:

$1098/each

These are probably my fav's, but way too expensive$1243/each

So are the cheap ones at the top nice or do they make it look cheap. I dont want to be that guy that throws some new rims that makes the car look worse.. I like the brushed aluminum or that dark grey/silverish color.

Ha, i think i doubled them up but price wise they're good. I'm looking at no more than 300/per. I can see how people throw down 4k+ for freaking RIMS! I guess if you've got a lot of disposable income everything is possible.. Not I said the poor fellow.

SO you're saying they look cheap or they look nice AND are affordable ?

these ones are really nice and affordable, forged and less expensive than any of the ones that you chose, and then you could use the nismo lisence plate frame.

Nice rims ... but personally I do not like rims that have "extra" lug nut holes....with that said ... # 2 would be my choice.

Those are really nice, from what I can see of them. Those pics are really small even if you click "enlarge" still takes you to a tiny pic. The price is very right.. Decisions.

What are some other sites to check for rims aside from tirerack?

#1 looks similar to the CE28N Volks, but I am also not too fond of the extra lug nut holes...
