Ordering Rims And I'v Got Some Questions

so i have been pricing out a set of 20 inch TSW Kyalami rims and Nitto NT555 tires and found them for $2100, installed, balanced, taxes, duty, and shipping here to Ontario Canada. Also will i have to get different lug nuts? Or will the factory ones work with the new rims? Also will going from 17 inch to 20 with a 35 series tire totally destroy the ride quality? I have never bought aftermarket wheels before so i just wanted your guys/gals input before i order them

It will impact the ride. Are you dropped?

If you order them online, they should include the new lugs for free if they are a reputabale site. Going from 17" to 20" will make your ride quality drastically worse.

its all about looks, your ride quality is deff gunna change but its not to bad and I live here in NYC. Your driving habits will change too if you live where there are a lot of pot holes as well. I used my factory lugs but have to use a breaker bar with socket to put them on as the tire iron was to fat to fit in my wheels... but i have exposed lugs (no center cap) and got my rims off another person.

no no... I don't hijack anything lol... I only meant that I'm getting 20's too.. and most people with Maximas are getting 20s... So, I don't see how they destroy your ride quality that's all... lol
