Guys,
I saw a set of wheel costing 550 bucks from AAA rims. Is that a good deal? Also, is that a good company to order stuff from?

not really..unless you have your heart set on nissan oem wheels..and even then you can probably get em for less than that through e-bay or find someone sellin them off there car..if you think about it this way, since the wheels are 550 and each tire will probably be 120 or more..after shipping youll pay 1100-1200!!! you can get tons of 16 or 17 wheel/tire packages that will be alot better..try www.whalentire.com or www.wheelmax.com....:)

The reason why i am choosing OEM is because there are tons of aftermarket available. and the biggest difficulty is to find a set which looks good and I can afford.

I say it is a good price for a set of OEMs, as long as they OEM and not replicas or anything like that.

Not really considering aftermarket 18's would only cost you $40 more. For that price you can easily get a set of aftermarket 17's shipped from me. But stocks look best if your car is not lowered.
