Newbie Wheel Question

Just bought a 96 Maxima that has stock rims which I would like to replace. My question is that I would like to purchase a set of Konig Blatant rims. I was looking at 16x7.0 and was wondering if I would have any problem installing these. They come with a set of tires on them (WKOBL-16-WT) for a total price of $699. Is this a good price?? Are these good rims?? Like the title says, I am a complete newbie at this, so any information would be greatly appreciated...


cheers,
dr

Spend a little extra and get some 17s or 18s. I always try to keep the width at 8 inches wide or above. You'll regret the 16s later on. Especially once you drop your max. If you check the FAQs in the 4th Gen Forums and even the 5th Gen forums, there is an abundance of information on adequate tire sizes and rim widths as well as offsets. Also, before you get flamed, as we all have learned, the SEARCH function at the top of the page is your best friend. As for your new rims, also remember, that every four pounds of roatational weight is equivalent to about 25 pounds of static weight, or some crap like that. Either way, remember that a lighter wheel will perform much better than a heavier wheel.

Welcome to the ORG.
Let the modding begin.
