"topped" Most likely you just hit governor. My friends GTI in USDM form has 125 top speed but It has 136 top speed in Germany EDM form, and it can go faster with chipping.

So I'd say 125 is good enough for a daily, and not quite on a track car.

Also IMO your wheels look heavy.

IDK I like stock wheels but the heaviest wheel I would rock is 21 LBS. Mine are 18 each right now though.

I don't think you would know other than it doesn't go any faster. Hitting a rev limiter you'd know.

I'd ask the altima guys.

I dunno if the sedan is different than the coupe, but the 3.5 coupe can hit 135 (pretty sure I remember that correctly).

For new rims, might want to check the altima section. They would better know what sizes and fitments work.

get some altima ser wheels.

and would people stop with the whole wheels/rims thing? yes, technically speaking, it's a wheel, but for f***'s sake, we all know what people mean when they say rims. it's not like they're being referred to as elephants.
