I'm too cheap to get new tires so I can't buy oversized rims. Plus I don't like the idea of a bunch of unsprung weight. I'm looking for some nice 15" replacement wheels for $400 or less and so far all I have found are Enkei RS5 and Rage 5.0. The Rage would be a risk even thought there is a 1 year warranty that provides full replacement. Does anyone know of any decent 15" wheels that would look nice?

 

If you're looking for 15" wheels, just about any website will have plenty of different styles at different prices, so you just have to keep looking. You can also go to a place like town fair tire and check out their selection (www.townfair.com)
Personally, I was in the same position that your are, I wanted to replace my 15" stock rims but didnt have too much money. I went on to ebay and found out there are some pretty good prices, and you can get a set of 15 or 16" rims for pretty cheap. I ended up buying a set of brand new 2001 16" maxima rims for under $400, and am going to buy four Kuhmo performance tires to complete the package. Ive heard very good things about these tires, and they only run about $70 each. They are not all season tires but if you keep your rims and tires that you have now, you can put those on in the winter(which will also keep your new rims in tip top shape). So, in total, buying 16" rims off ebay and adding the Kuhmos can keep the price down around $650, give or take, and it would be a big improvement over those undersized 15's. If you still want to stick with the 15's, try www.konigwheels.com, but Im not sure about their specific prices. You're probably going to have to just keep searching.

 

I was in the same situation. i bought borbet type B. They look great and really improve the look of the car. Cost about 450, but tirerack.com and discounttiredirect.com both offer sales on some of the wheels that bring them to 80-90 bucks each. Mine were 110. Wheels are 5 spoke and real shiny but not chrome.

 

My friend bought 15s with pirellis in a package deal for 650, in case you wondered.

 

I'll sell you my 15" Chrome American Racing rims, from my 93 SE, great condition...pix coming soon hopefully. Looking to get some 16's or 17's now to go with the Eibach/Tokico setup I am going to install soon.

 

I'm in the same boat. I can't afford larger rims & tires since they seem to go up in price. What do people think about aftermarket rims with the stock tire size? I was thinking about going to a 205/60/15, but that won't make too much difference. I mean, 80% of buying new rims is for the looks (in my opinion). Cincy, why are the Rage 5.0's a 'risk'? I was thinking of getting those in 15" with some Yokohama AVS db's when the online stores finally get some in.

 

Well I think that my 15" chrome rims to wonders for the look of the car...I agree that it is at least 80% for looks when you get new rims...unless you get insanely expensive ones, there's a good change they will decrease performance a bit if anything...not increase. But they look damn good thats for sure! I belive I got slightly lower-pro tires with my new rims, 305/50/15 I believe, also helps the looks a bit, but now theres some ugly wheel well gap and the car is just BEGGING to be lowered

 

dude, just find someone on the 4th gen forum that'll sell their 97-99 se wheels. they look great, are 16"ers, and you can get the rims/tires for around $450. and you can also put a 215 tires too.
