Steel wheels
I'm in shock. I just called the dealer and was told that a 16" alloy maxima wheel (2001) is $384. Lets see that's over $1500 for a set and I don't even have tires yet. I want a second set of wheels to mount snows on for both better traction on my 100 mile a day commute and to save my 17" stock wheels from the salt. Tirerack has steel wheels as part of a winter package that are $44 ea. Can I get 16" maxima wheels at the junk yard and if so would only 2000 & 2001 fit? Or should I just go with the cheap steel wheels? What about the cheap alloy's at Tirerack that start at $105...are these any good. The kids might not have boots this winter, but my maxima has to look good.

MS 2K1AE has the right idea
Go to the tirerack website...you can get a decent rim or some metal rims with hubcaps for cheap....they just sent me a brochure for snow tires that fit the maxima.....here you go...
www.tirerack.com
$512 (15" steel wheels with covers and Blizzaks)
608 (16" " )
840 (16" alloy rims with blizzaks)
You would be hard pressed to find a better price than those folks...and they come mounted and balanced...no taxes...just a little shipping.
