I decided on 19" R1 Racing Hype rims after seeing them in the other thread. They're pure SEX!

maybe its all that glimmer thats throwing me off.. but did you check the offset on these? in the 2008 wheel guide (def worth picking up for $6) it shows lots of wheels like this... (mallrats quote) Trish The Dish... these look really deep though... idk if theyd fit on the alti... the Z would take em... but check your specs, and see if with our fitment, what the lip size would be...i think itd be smaller than what you are looking at here..

I went with option 1 and here's why: The third one was pretty nice, but kind of 'ordinary' if you know what I mean. It's catchy but also kind of normal. And between the first and the second one, I think the second one would be a little too dark on a dark slate -- too much black/dark grey everywhere, whereas the first one still has the black accents which I think go really well with the Dark Slate, but also the nice shiny silver which will really stand out on the Dark Slate without being too bling or ricey.

I like the Zinik Wheels, I was gonna get that one but I chose one of the newest one's by them. I am also going to match the black inserts with the body color of my car. You can do the same with yours too. Where are you lookin at getting them from and how much are they quoting you?

Damn, I completely forgot. I looked on tirerack.com and they`re listed under the rims for the 08+ Altima Coupe but other than recommended tire size (245/30-20) for 20" but it`s not giving me any other information.

I suck with tires and rims in general.

I was looking on tire rack. The prices for the 20" Zinik's are between $280.00 and $325.00 I believe. Probably could find somewhere a bit cheaper though.

Are you lookin at getting rims/tires package or just rims? If you are looking at getting rims alone go to http://www.kbcustomwheels.com and check them out. That's who I dealt with and the owner James, he's a wiz when it comes to wheels. Tell him Domonic From Michigan who ordered the Zinik Z26 referred you.

Also, Tire Rack doesn't necessarily know all....that's what I found out when I was looking for these wheels. They told me they won't fit the car but when I talked to James, He called Zinik direct and said that the wheels will fit with no problem.

Just Rims.

Depends on what style you're going for. The first two seem more like a luxury show car feel, and the third has more of a racing look. All three are beautiful rims, but personally, I like option 3.
