Advice please .......

Hi
here is my deal... I bought my maxima 97 GXE months ago...it came with stock steel wheels and stock 97-99 wheel covers (pretty dirty and dusty)...I discarded them in seconds (dumb ha ??).......tried to look for alloy wheels to fit my maxima ...No body seems to sell nice alloy wheels with 15 inch size (I know 95-96 SE alloy wheels are 15 inch .. but I don't like them) ...I am now with those fugly walmart cheepy covers (they suck really)...my ptoblem is that
-I'm kinda tight on budget
-My car came with really nice and nearly new tires (size 205/65/15) ...I can't sacrifice them easily

So do you advice me to go with :
-Stock OEM wheel covers (or replicas for same desgin) ?
-Searching for alloy wheels size 15 (to save my good tires aaaas) ? do you have suggestions for which 15` wheels ?
-Searching for other wheel covers (not necessary to be Nissan) ? again , do you have suggestion for non-Nissan nice covers that look nice on my 97 maxi ?

you input is appreciated...
Thanks

Junkyards have em for cheap, may not be in the best condition. I'd try there.

That's all personal preference. You are going to see them everyday, not us. Choose what you prefer.

Also, your thread title just flat out sucks.

And of course, this extends to the body of your post. Please be as descriptive as possible.

i threw away my stock covers asap, bought a set of trashed rims with bald tires for 100 bucks and refinished them, gunmetal gray ftw. cost me 70 to refinish them. took a few hours.just look for deals, plus normal people dont care what your wheels look like.

i actualy just took my stocks out of storage to check on them to put them back on for the winter.

Yeah I think you should just try some cheap-o-rim on Craigslist or something that is a good looking design but needs to be refinished and fix it up as best as you can and paint them black or something to hide the imperfections and BAM!

Basically the same thing HandsonMaxima just said

Just search a yard for some OEM covers, save your money for a real set of wheels/tires once your currents ones need replacing.
