Quick question-

I'm getting my new wheels installed, but I don't know what to do with those old 9-spokes. Is it possible to mount this on our other car, '93 Altima w/o problems? If not, any other suggestions?

Any wheel over those steel rim hubcaps would be a great improvement!

Thanks.

What size are the wheels on the altima? You can try selling them on E-bay...

No way will anyone want them. They're ugly and old (to put it mildly). I already have 30k on them.

Anyway, the wheels on the Altima are 15', I think the tires are 205/65. I'm basically checking to see if they would fit...Thanks!

My guess is that you would be surprised how many people would want your old wheels on Ebay. Give it a shot...you never know.

I think the base GXE comes with 205/65/15, so these may fit fine....

If that is the case, then it won't be easy. You will have to get wheel spacers and stuff for that.
