So Im getting a base model of the 2.5S altima coupe 2011, WHITE, and wanted to make it look like this: http://img13.imageshack.us/i/tirepics037.jpg/ What size rims should I get? 18" or 19" not sure if 19" is to much.


Also, I found a dealership selling it for a discount price of $18,876, do you think that is a good deal, what did you pay for yours?


Thanks

18s would look good, but 19s with lower profile tires would look better if you lowered the car imo. Its all personal preferance and what suits you best.

oh well I meant since the rims are bigger, I thought the tires is thinner and theres less thickness on the tire

Hey wait, does anyone know if the 2.5 S has different rim size options when you buy it brand new? OR does it only come with 17"s??

Thanks

You should get new tires regardless, specially if you live somewhere that gets snow, you'll want to have your stock rims/tires to put back on.
