2004 SE's 18' wheels on a 4th gen
 

What do you think ?

Should i polish them, leave them as is or chrome them?

buy thinner tires? (even if it would leave a bigger gap) Tell me what you think !

Thanks,

I would leave them alone, they look good. What suspension setup do you have?

Wow, it looks great. . . .I bet the speedo is off with that setup though.

Car looks good, but IMO those gold handles gotta go, my old car (93 Altima) had them and they were faded and looked horrible.

looks good, i dunno how they would looked polished tho

I have B+G lowering springs (2 inch drop)

And yeah, i hate how the door handles fade out but i like the gold plated crests on the trunk, what should i do???

imho chrome crests/handles dont look good on beige

did u weight them by any chance? They look really good.

Original tires were : 205/65/15
New are : 245/45/18
Speedometer Difference: 4.669% too slow
Diameter Difference: 4.47%

So its really 60 mph (100 km/h) when it sais 57.3 mph (95.5 km/h)

It doesnt bother me too much

That looks really great!

Yes i did ! :-)

They weight 32 lbs each and they are manufactured by TSW

Very nice!! I really want to get some for winter use. But I want my summer wheels to be 17s, I would feel like I'm down grading when summer rolls around, lol. But in your picture they look like 17s with the sidewall like that. I like!!!

do u rub anywhere with those tires and that drop?

thats for the wheel only right?

Yeah the sidewall is huge, but it fills the gap perfectly.

with thinner tires i would want to lower the car a bit more and the coil springs i have are the lowest i found !

speedyglx : I 'tested' them a bit, slapped the breaks while turning ect... and they didnt rub yet :-)

With the tires or not???Are those lighter than the stock 2000s 17s???

Yeah, wheel only

They look good, Those would look good chorme, but how much does it cost to chrome out a wheel?

Its 32 lbs without the tire, i have no idea how much the 17's weight tho... does anyone else know?

oem 17+ wheels never were the way to go if you even care about weight.
btw your car looks like crap , george. hahahahaha jk lookin good.

Its expensive but it looks sooo good !

Haha, i know i still have alot to do, but imo it looks a little better now... Crap was last week (with the stock gle 15' rims) :-)

nicee im tinking of gettin those or the 5th gens

:slap: j/k, i would say the same thing after the winter i have had(cracked lip, rock dents, deers, people breaking into it):mad:

i consider the 17" se wheels boat anchors and they weight 28lb each, but they do look good. i think its the same deal with these, just bigger size and larger weight.

all i have to say is :bowdown:

what exactly is expensive, 300$ for all 4 by any chance?

I'm in montreal (canada) and the best price i found is 270$/wheel... thats around 210$ usd

Your wheels would look really good chromed out !

That looks perfect, awesome stance!

polished rims = horrible look

Isent it pretty close to chrome when well done?

Hello :deezo: that's exactly my point

Hum...

getting them polished would cost me only 100$/wheel, if its gonna give me something 'almost' as nice as chrome... i could be interested.

sorry, i dont meant to be rude, but i think the 5th gen rims looked better on a 4th gen

I think you misunderstood me here, once again IMO:

polished rims = chrome = horrible look :thumbsup:

Yeah i thought the same thing a few days ago but i got used to them.

And now i love them !

Boss : Now i understand.... So you would leave them as is, i kinda dig the chrome rims :-) I'm looking for a 'classier' luxurious look. (not building a race car)

Thanks for your opinion tho, i apreciate

I have 2k2 wheels on my 97, I think they fit the 4th gen a bit better but the 2k4's still look good.

I think they look very nice...:thumbsup: I was thinking about getting a set of those!

Well, Those are nice looking wheels( I have loved them since they came out), but 32lbs. each is just way too much! Wow! Do you realize that compared to my stock 4th gen 16", there is a 21.4lb/per wheel difference. That is like having an extra 496lbs riding in the car with you! I, personally, cannot sacrifice that much performance....no matter what they look like. That is not to mention the tires...they will cause it to weigh a lot more too.

heh entek i was referring to geo1317's car looking like crap but either way i was joking.
entek your car is looking good the way it is with or without a lot more to do. youre already there good job. you dont have to go all out, keep it simple

Are you serious!!?? thats crazy, i didnt know they were that light...

Do you know how much the 2k2's weight?

Thats cool Sil se, thanks... The car definitelly needs clear bumper lights and red/clear tails, after that maybe a little tint and fog lights. Thats it!

i want 2 little fogs on each side, like this :
