With only 6,500 miles on my coupe this is my 2nd set of wheels, MB battle wheels. My friend actually purchased these on in bronze with me for his Honda Accord. I'm not sure if anyone else has these wheels on there coupe but I've never seen them on an Altima Coupe before, wanted to try something different. They're 18's rapped in 235/45/18(thanks to everyone on nico that helped me choose my wheel size) and gunmetal. Drop will be happening in 2 weeks and same goes for Red Lugs! I had a difficult time putting on the front center caps because the axle sticks out in the front so I had to use some of my plastic model skills... Let me know what you guys think!

Nice! Has a clean look to it. Idk about the red lugs though, maybe pictures will change my mind. But of course its all about what you want for your car :P

Lol now to think about it, you should do the red lugs and just leave the tail tint the way it is. My taillights look just like that except the reverse light is tinted too. And is that the Stillen catback?

thanks bri,really? hmm maybe i just have to embrace it a bit more haha, do you think the full tailight tint looks better or with the circle cutout the way i have it? they're actually stillen axlebacks but they look exactly the same as the catback and i actually have it straight pipped from the cat so its pretty much a catback.

Well when I did it I didn't think about cutting it out lol, but it makes yours look like it came stock like that, so that's cool. It's up to you. Maybe I should've gotten the axleback and add a stright pipe, would've been cheaper? And I think the tips are different on the catback and axleback

from the picture i saw online it looked the same so im not sure, it was much cheaper the axleback was around 500 and the straight pipe was 60 installed. Difference was about $200-300 but im actually thinking about making some changes, possibly getting Greddy's debating on it. The tips look much more agressive the mufflers hang differently.

I think it looks good either way, but I would choose without the circle cutout.

I think your car looks sick right now. Red lugs would definitely add to it, make sure they're like a deep red though
