Just wondering if anyone has pics of TE rims on an '03 or similar 5th gen? Can I purchase these from Nissan and how much do they cost? Any other places have these available to buy?

LithiuMax

If you get some from LithiuMax that is cool. If not the dealer will bend you over on a set of these.
I would suggest salvage yards of even some rim stores take trade ins and might have a set. Your other and possible cheaper option would be to go aftermarket.

Your best bet is to purchase these from an org member who is upgrading. For pics of the wheels, go here: www.innerbean.com/housecor

Also, I can tell you, Lith has a good reputation on the org and is someone you can trust.

housecor, those are some wicked pics you have! Your TE looks awesome! Do the TE wheels have a bit of a bronze hue to them or are they more like a polished metal? We have a sterling mist '03 and if they have a bronze color to them, I don't think they would look good, but if they were more like plolished metal, I think they would look awesome!

Also, I saw the pics of your PIAA Super Plasma Fogs. They look great! I am going to buy those for mine! Any problems with the wiring harness or melting the housings?

Thanks for the approval! I love doing automotive photography.

The wheels don't have a bronze hue. I'm not a wheel finish expert, but I suppose you could describe them as polished metal. The pics are a pretty accurate representation, though I will warn you this: They must be clean to look shiny. Otherwise they look very similar to an alloy. I do think they'd look great on your sterling mist.

Sweet homepage you got there. What kind of camera do you use?

Thanks looslip! I use a Canon S30 3 megapixel and a tripod. It is no longer produced and has been replaced with the S50 5 megapixel. Canons generally have great optics, particularly the S series.

Thanks for the good word, housecor.

Everyone that has PM'ed me has been PM'ed back.

Sorry, didn't respond to this point: I've had no problems with melting. These bulbs do run hotter than factory, but many orgers are running PIAA 55w fogs with no melting issues. Definately buy from opauto.com. Great price

Sounds good, thanks man!

Hey - Try Dave B @ South Point Nissan in TX - he's got really good prices on OEM parts - tell him you're from the ORG - his # is 888-254-6060

I had to get new rims for my car - due to an accident - and my body shop got them for about $700 each - but try Dave - he's really good on prices - usually 25-40% cheaper

$700 per rim???
