The second ones for sure, the first ones don't look as smooth.

Well you have a Code Red Coupe and honestly I think The first set would do more justice to the car. I'm not a big fan of the second set due to the black in the rim.

I really like those Mizati-Klick-Black. Would look very nice in gunmetal. Once I wear these stock rims out for a while, I'm considering getting some good rims.

If you're only going for ADR's, how about these? I think they look classier and cleaner than the ones with black trimming. Just my opinion.

No offense but both of those rims look cheap to me. What size are they and how much do they run? Are you trying to stay within a certain budget? I'm not saying you need to break the bank but I think you can do better.

Wheels are one of the biggest things you can do visually to a car - so I would say if you are going to upgrade away from OEM make sure it is an UPGRADE and not a DOWNGRADE.

The first set is way too busy and both sets look like some of pep boys finest.

I like the ADR posted by long beach coupe (on a red car I would ge with a silver or grey face in stead of the black as pictured) and the Lenso and Giovanna posted by others.

Yes i am on a budget since im a college student. Those run for around 450 bucks. I'm planning to upgraded to just some 17s because i still want the car to be smooth on rough roads.

Why do you think they look cheap in the first place? just because it not a top brand? I think those rims look nice. its not like im gonna spend 1g or 2g on rims, its just an altima not a benz or bimmer. I can do alot more with 1-2gs then just on rims. and the oem rims on the i4 are not really that good looking in the first place.

I think they both will look good Shift. I don't see how one can compliment the quality of one wheel and bag on another wheel when they are both the same brand.

Big upgrade from the 2.5 stock IMO.

I have 3.5 stock wheels and tires that I might sell if interested.

Yeah, any wheel is better than the 16" stockers fo'sho I still thinke the 2nd ADR's in all silver look much more classier and cleaner than the ones with black.

I cant wait... Hopefully my friend will mount them tomorrow! Its funny how the wheel on a piece of cardboard comes up to the point where the stock wheel ends and the tire begins at the top... They are big, but i like them, the variance in the mph i think is 1 or 2 mph.20" 245/35 +38 offset They weigh just under 30lbs each(without a rubber)... Anyone know what a stock wheel weighs?

Hey LongBeach, you're gonna run 20's? At 245's, I hope you're running 30 series tires. At 35, you'll come up 1.3 inches too short in diameter. That would really affect your speedo and performance. If your speedo reads 60, you'll be actually traveling at 63 mph.

I'm calculating with my stockers, which are 17's on an SE. I just noticed that you have the 2.5, but tire diameters should be the same. If so, the stocks run at 25.5". Post your wheel and tire size if you can.

On 30 series, you'll come up at 25.8" which would actuall be ALMOST perfect. This is the size I personally would run because it's only a 0.3" difference and wouldn't be noticeable. On 35's, you'll be at 26.8" which is pretty significant. As far as rubbing is concerned, you probably will barely clear. It should be okay, but of course your performance will suffer a little too. I guess there's always a little trade-off.

Quick question guys.. I'm a relative nub here, but just got my black 2.5se with premium package. Just finished some minor mods.. but am seriously looking into adding better rims.. prolly the stock ones on the 3.5 at this point. My question is that is there anything extraneous I would need, as in sensors for the tires or anything of the sort? Or will it be fine just installing these guys without a problem? thanks again for all the help!

You need to make sure they fit first off...5x114.3 or 5x4.5 with 35-45 offset

TPMS are in the wheels, but arent needed to drive..
