Now I might be alone on this, but I like the size of my stock rims (16s)

do you guys order the tires/rims in a set? or just the rims? Do you take it to a mechanic to do it or yourself?

So you are buying aftermarket wheels in 16"s I assume?

Doesn't matter how you order them, if you have all the cash now order them together. You will have to take them to a tire shop/mechanic to have the tires mounted to the wheels and also to balance them.

While the stock wheels do look good on the car, an aftermarket 16" will most likely look weird. I've seen a few in person and they don't seem to add much to the car. Not saying you shouldn't get 16"s, but maybe you can find some people to post pics of their aftermarket 16"s so you can get an idea.

+1 to RC's post, my mom has a pair of 16" aftermarket on her eclipse, if I get a chance I'll take a picture. In my opinion it looks way to small for the car, and by no means am I one of those 'go big or go home' people on rims. But altimas are very big cars, the bigger the car the bigger the rims need to be. I'm looking at 18's myself, 19's max.
