I have a Black 98 Maxima SE 5 speed.

These are the rims I might get. Money is a bit tight so I got to try and stay under $1400-1500 total if possible(tires, Rims, shipping and fees) but I need tires because the ones on my car are getting warped from the past owner never had them rotated.

I think they look pretty sick but I was worried about them looking too ricey. Just check my car on Car domain and tell me what you think.

Now tires.

After much debate I was leaning towards some BFgoodrich G-Forces sports. They are really the best ones I can find that are a good long time name brand, ZR rated, nice looking and for that price. I also heard these were some good tires and judging by the ratings they have some good scores.

I am also gonna have Tirerack mount these because that last thing I need is some punk kid to scratch my rims at a tire shop while he is mounting them. I might have them balanced though because I heard Tirerack did not balance tires well. I will also have my friend who is an alignment expert to give me a discount on aligning the car for me at one of places I used to work.

I thought it would be better to come here than the maxima board but I guess I might make it there...

good choice in tires but i definately think you can find better in terms of wheels

the wheel selection in 18" for that price is somewhat thin so youll probably have trouble finding something you like, youd probably be better off changing some of your variables

Yea, Thin meaning the prices are rather high imo for a lot of them. I will keep looking.
