I just bought a 2009 precision grey altima coupe and want to put rims on it. Right now I just have the stock 16" hubcaps and im not sure to go with an 18" or 20" wheel. Please help me!

Im looking into rims but I dont know whether to get an 18" or 20" wheel. I saw a 20" wheel in person the other day and it didnt look that big but when I see pictures of the wheel on my car it looks huge and im trying to see what people think so i can get help with this decision

ummm. has 19" ever ocurred to you??? lol it's right in b/w 18" and 20". Usually people who cant decide on either end agree on the middle value.

just get 20's

Logic would tell you that if 19" tires are expensive, then 20" tires are more expensive...yo.

Looks like you need 18"s.

I went with 19 and I think they look perfect. The tires are not that much more.when your putting on wheels and tires they are expensive no matter how you look at it

actually, tires for my 20's are a lot cheaper than tires for the 19's and 18's.

Situational Im sure. More rubber = more money. But Im sure that supply/demand for each manufacturer for each size plays a part.
