I have a 2004 Sentra SE-R and I was wondering what I should get first, 18" racing rims(not sure what kind yet) or a body kit?

body kit with wheels that dont flow with it (possibly stock) is just plain wrong ... i;ve yet to see a car with a kit and stock wheels that looks good. I say pick out what wheels you want now and then get a kit that suits those wheels. ALso personaly i'd \stay with 17's ... save some weight.

18"s and Sentras don't mix so well. People do it, but even the most hardcore of those people will say the ride sucks, and the likelihood of bending a wheel is high.

That's not to mention that it looks offbalance.

Get some nice 17"s. It'll look good, I promise.

Then look into a kit. IMO, the lip kits around are the only tolerable option, every other aero setup I've seen on a Sentra looked gawdy and nauseating.

Get some (Bronze) Gramlight 57C's for it and call it a day.

I can't say I've heard much about ICW's. From what I can dig up, they're along the lines of many brands today - heavy and relatively low quality, but strong enough for daily road use.

If you like the style, go for it I guess.

IMO there are a lot better looking wheels out there, even in that price category.

You should actually make the car fast before you make it LOOK fast. But rims are always a welcome addition. The ones you pictured look nice.

TireRack is always a good choice.
