Welcome to NICO

Picking out rims is a huge ordeal and a personal experience. Look at lots of Altimas that have rim upgrades to narrow down what type you like, then go for rim diameter and offset to fit.

Take your time.

At least go with 18s, if not 19s.

[nismoonmymind2008]

Do you think 18 because it would make difference compared to only 17s...I originally wanted the momo black Knights but not sure... I guess you speak from experience which always helps

[BRicci]

I don't really speak from experience because I haven't even got my wheels yet lol but I personally would never go below 19s. 18s can look good though. So I would go with 18s if I were you.

Cool thanks for the help. I haven't really done any mods to my car but I just don't want to mess up suspension by going to big.. I heard it's bad for your car. Btw have you seen the momo rims I was talking about...lmk what you think

Are they these? http://www.carid.com/momo-wheels/black- ... 66691.html
They don't look bad, just don't buy anything smaller than 18's. Five spoke wheels in my opinion have always looked great on coupes. The fact that it has machined in addition to the black is good. All black rims always look smaller then they are.

4 years ago I rushed into buying my first set of rims off Craigslist. They are konig sideways. The machined lip and black and my large rotors made these 18's look tiny.


As much as it pains me to look at this picture of my car when it was at stock ride height I use it solely for you to learn from my mistake. I sold them a while ago and only lost $50. Take your time like audtatious said and look over this thread the-rims-thread-post-a-sideshot-take-a- ... 95986.html

Yeah it was those... I like the European look. Man sorry to hear your story but I'm glad I could learn from that . I'm gonna keep looking around for sure but I think 18s then for sure
