Need help looking for rims...

[Truerocket11]

Hey guys, im trying to find 18" konig runaways for my 08' altima coupe. My A/C currently runs on 16' stock alloys and im switching to 18's. My problem is, i need a good, reliable site to buy them off of and i also want tires as well (i want them shipped to me so i can just bolt them on). If you guys can find them post links plz...I want to also know if hyperblack rims would match my grey coupe....since i cant find gunmetal in these rims (unless you guys can)

Buying the tires from one place and the wheels from another will probably be a bit cheaper (even though you have to pay to get them mounted/balanced locally)...

If you want em both from the same place its possible though, DTD has the wheels on ebay, and after the live.com discount the wheels are $590 delivered... and they have all sorts of tires for em, depending on what you want.

Did you check the sticky with all the pics of coupes with rims in this section?

Yea, i would like to get the for cheaper but having the tires and rims seperate and unbalanced would make it a lot harder for me, cuz south jersey doesnt really have that many autobody places that i can trust...Did you say DTD can give me the rims and tires together??? If so, what exact specs do i need for the rims and the tires? cause i posted a thread earlier and they said 225/45/18 is good for 18" rims. i see on other websites that the rims are 18x8 followed by something like 4-100 or 5-114, is that the pattern for our rims?

5x114 (its actually 114.3) is the bolt for our car.

Tires run in 3 dimensions, width, height and wheel...

Width is the width of the wheel, height is the profile of the tire, and wheel is the wheel size..

225/45/18 is what would work on a 18x8 wheel.

DTD's ebay store..http://myworld.ebay.com/discounttiredirect/

do a search there for that tire size... looks like the cheapest ones they have are around 500ish... then minus the 11% live.com discount, and they balance em free if you buy em both from em...

You are looking at btwn 1100-1200 for the set mounted n balanced... I got my 20s for that price with tires... but its all up to you and what you want.

Personally id hold my breath and wait on live.com to increase the discount.. I got the tires that would run you $550 for $375 for the set of 4! (that was when live.com was 35% discount)

It fluctuates, but then again the spring is here and it may not be worth waiting for!

thanks lbc, I will defintely get them from there but what is the live.com discount you keep talking about? If you have the account, I'll paypal you the money and you purchase the wheels and ship it to my house? Also dtd doesn't sell the runaways in hyperblack just black

Id be more than willing to do that, but itd burn us on fees. (3%)

I posted this in the past but ill do a quick how-to for ya...

Do you know how to purchace things in a "buy it now" format on ebay?

If so, its simple...

1. find the auction numbers you want n write down the numbers2. go to live.com3. type in "cheap wii"4. click the first paid link ontop for ebay, it should say something about a discount.5. you will be brought to ebay and shown wii's, just put the #s in the search bar6. you should see the cashback insignia on the top of the ebay window7. complete your buy it now purchace within 20 minutes

once you click "commit to buy" its too late to go back, so if you have any issues shoot me an email, and the easy way would be for you to allow me temp access to your paypal acct, but i think you should be able to do this on your own.
