Thinking of getting these 18 inch wheels, on a White coupe.I kinda like how the outside is machined with the black wheel, kinda goes nice with white. With some 225/45ZR18 tires.Opinions?http://www.discounttire.com/dt...w=7.5

My other options is getting some OEM 18 inch SE rims, I like those allot to.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...%3AIT

Or should I upgrade exhaust and intake first? I am, not sure what to do first!

Thanks guys!

I like the first ones... but regarding the size, "Go big or go home."

The Nissan ones are replicas. Unless you can find out the manufacturer and can verify they're good quality I'd walk away from them.

Given options, I would say option 2.

Personal pref . . .

Try and get some Nismo rims! Light and Wide!

Thanks for the replies guys...I did not know the Nissan ebay wheels were replicas...how do you tell?? I really do like the style of the 09 SE Nissan wheels...I guess I should go with my gut, I cannot seem to find a decent aftermarket wheel that I truly like.

Blacnkandwhite, I like your rims in your sig, those would look good on a white coupe, what are they?

And yes, I would love some G35/37 wheels or NISMO wheels, but price is my hold back, for wheels and tires, I only can spend up to about 1200 max. and thats pushing it.

And thanks Nicky Altima for the offer, but no offense, I do not like those.

Sigh...Ill keep looking...and 18's are big enough for me I think, any other Ideads, or links to pics of wheels is appreciated

At my DEALER, yes the over priced dealer, they had 19' Nismo rims for 200 each! I would have bought them if I had not already gotten my sterns.
