Car: 08 altima coupe

Post

Hey guys I bought my first new car a couple months ago (altima coupe, convenience package, moonroof) and since this is the first time actually buying things for a car i was hoping i could get a few ideas of some places or websites i could look. I am looking for some rims. i dont know if 20s would look good or if i should stick with 19s since i see them around this site a lot. i am looking for some racing type wheels, maybe 6 spoke in black with chrome. i live in dallas/fort worth, texas area in case anyone knows of any places around here. also if i go with 20's what size tires should i get. like i said this is my first time doing anything to a car so any advice would be helpfullthanks!!!!

ok after searching i found out i posted in the wrong place. shouldve gone to wheel section. sorry guys!!

if you want light weight racing wheels for performance, then get 18's or 19's. If you want some thing that looks amazing, get 20's. The best tire size for 20's is 245/35/20 If you hurry, you may still be able to get in on the eibach pro kit group buy.(lowering springs. Stillen is offering them to nico members for $198 if the group buy is still on.

For the best wheel and tire prices check out wheelwarehouse.com then use the price they give you to negociate at a local shop.

and welcome to nico, enjoy

Um, if you get 20's they most likley won't be lite unless you spend 4k on wheels.

As far as the tire size goes, it completley depends on how wide you rim is and how thick you want the tire to be. There is no set "best size".

well everything im doing is not for performance, i guess just for show. if 20s fit fine then im gonna go with 20's. any good brands or are they really all the same? if i get some kind of body kit, im guessing its best to take it to a body shop to get it installed. is anyone from the dallas/fort worth area that knows a good body shop. again im sorry for all the questions but i am really new to all this and i would just like as much input as possible. oh btw i like the venti v59 rims. are they a good brand?
