So I'm just a couple of weeks away from buying new wheels and tires but I dont want to make the mistake of paying a lot for something that doesnt look good with my car. I'm planning on getting 18x7.55 Drag Dr19's from discounttire with 225/45/18 tires. My only problem is i cant decide which color rims would look best with my car. I have a pebble beach sedan. Below are some pics of the colors and my car. I need you guys to vote and let me know which one to go with. Silver? Black? or Gunmetal?

I like gunmetal, but it might look like you're "trying to match" the car. Silver will probably look best.

Might I suggest you don't buy low quality wheels, but instead look for some better quality used, even OEM take off wheels? There's plenty of threads discussing what Nissan/Infiniti OEM wheels fit the Altima nicely.

+1. I also have a pebble beach sedan, and thought gunmetal would look a little off. I narrowed it down between black and silver, but shied away from silver since it is a little too vanilla (for me). My rims would probably have look a little larger, but I think 19's or 20's would look best on the sedan... kinda wished I stepped up a size from my 18's.

Anyways, black rims on pebble beach 4G sedan:

I agree. 19s are the way to go unless you want the drug dealer look (which is ok) lol. 19s I find fit the car perfectly. Just my opinion.

Oh Beer, your 18s don't look too bad though .

Thanks for the pic! I just love the style of those rims and they're within my budget. Nothing else really catches my eyes. 18" are the biggest they come in.

If you get 20% tints then get the black ones.

I already have 20% tint. That's a very old pic of my car. I like these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ories Plus they're affordable. All i need to find is tires that are affordable. My budget is $1,200 for everything. What specs should i go with?
