Got my rims and tires put on this morning. I didn't want anything to offroad lookin and also didn't want to go 20's and have a low profile tire since I go on the beach alot. So I think I made a good choice with a rugged tire and some bling. I went with Ion alloy 199's wrapped in Nitto terra grapplers 255/55/18. let me know what you think. Weather stinks up here today so only got a few pics. Next will be chrome push bar and taillight guards.

Not bad, vey respectable. Lots of chrome to try and keep clean. Have you waxed them yet to keep them protected?

Adding a chrome push bar? Won't that be too much chrome?

Who actually makes the Ion Alloy 199s? I swear, there are more wheel companies out their I have never heard of, and then when it comes time to find a replacement centercap or even a replacement wheel, that company is no where to be found...

I have about 60 miles on them so I haven't gotten a chance yet to wax them yet, plus the weather has been crappy all weekend. Ion alloy is a brand name, I just looked at the website though and TWG looks like a parent company and make a few diffrent brands.

I don't think it will be to much chrome. I like the offroad look with a little bling. I found this truck on car domain and its kinda gives you the idea.

see now THAT is a sexy wheel and tire combo..you have exactly what i want. how much did that set cost you with tires? and those are nice tires, a little aggressive sidewall tread i like it!

the bush bars look nice too, definately get them.....it wont be too much chrome itll look great. Too much chrome would be that door mouding stuff and mirrors lol keep it up though your pathy looks great

Thanks man. The total was 1560 with wheel locks. I would love to get that push bar its made by GO Rhino, and its made for 99 1/2-03 pathfinders not 04. I called Go Rhino and they said there was a small change in the front fascia on the 04 thats why it won't fit. I found another company called Black Horse Offroad I am going to go with them.
