Looking to replace my hub caps on my 2007 2.5S Altima because, well... they are hub caps.

Not sure how and what I should be looking for. The only thing that makes this hard is that I would like to keep my stock wheels (16x7 I believe?), and just change the hub caps to rims. I know this might look a little weird, since the wheels will look bulky, so what should I go for? If anything, I'll just try to pick up some stock alloy nissan wheels. Looking to spend around $400 in total.

Also, how much do you think it would cost me for a shop to put on the rims, balance wheels, etc.?

The specs on my car according to the label along the door shows: P215/60R16 94T 220kPs, 32PSI

... ok, wheels are whats behind the hubcap. the ones you have are just wheels with a cover ie :hubcap so what you want to do is replace your wheels with different ones, if you want to stay stock then just look on ebay and such, but to mount and balance the tires on the new wheel, it differs in certain areas, around here is about 12$ per wheel or if you get all 4 done its like 35$ i believe.

here is an example of what you could buy

Thanks, could I get any 16x7 wheels and have those installed? Going with the stock look is my last option since aftermarket ones aren't that much more expensive. Know any that'd look good on my Metallid Jade altima because that is what seems to be the big problem for me.

tbh im still running stock wheels, i dont know a lot about which manufactures of wheels are good and which ones are bad, but to answer your first question, you can use any wheel that has the 5X114mm bolt pattern, and just for the record, some sites list the pattern as 5X114.3mm which either will work, i think they are exactly the same, just some site round the numbers off and others dont.

i think these would look pretty sick though

but keep in mind, bigger wheel means you need new tires, so you should just shop around on wheelsnext or tirerack.
