My alti is super black and I got the silver. Having them put on next week. Will take pics and post them they are done.

Side note. Should this be a dealer install or just have a local guy do it? Should I bother moving my tire pressure sensors off my stock wheels.

Don't waste your money at the dealer. Hopefully whoever you decide to take it to will swap out the tpms sensors without a fuss (assuming you won't be using your stock wheels anymore)...

Thanks. Probably will order tires from Discount Tire and take it to a local Midas. Then to dealer next door to have tpms reset.

My only toss up is what tire. Want something with low road noise. Thinking of the Falken 452 which I have seen more the ppl on this board get with the nismo wheels and seem to be happy with them. Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum or Yokohama S. Drive? Any ideas??

I decides to go with Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum for the 19" Nismo.

Do I need to supply a lug adapter to the garage that installs them for the Nismo lug nuts that they come with??? Or need one to use the tire iron in the car?

I am really thinking about getting the Nismo Maxima wheels but was wondering about the effect on Gas mileage and performance. I know that they are lighter than stock but there is more rolling mass......right? Those with the wheels, what have you expierenced?

I got them from a seller out of Va beach on ebay. I think this the same guy who has been selling them cheap for awhile. I got the four of them for $550. The rims I believe are now discontinued. Gun metal are the only ones available now.

I went with the Kumho Ecsta LX Platinum tires. 245/40/19. I like them so far. Really grips the road. Pretty quiet.

I just ended up going to Goodyear and got the tires for 250 a piece. Think TireRack has them for about 200. For the whole tire install and mounting balancing, road hazard and an alignment for about 1200 bucks.
