Rims or not?

Question

i have a 2006 nissan sentra but im debating on rims or not, i have a black color??? do anyone else own black rims or 18' rims and would you advise someone else to purchase aftermarket rims or black rims? why?

Answer 1

Getting aftermarket rims for your vehicle WILL NOT VOID your WARRANTY. As long as you get the correct bolt pattern & offset that will fit that vehicle and your tires including rims have a similar overall diameter as the stock rim and tires.

As I have always upgraded my rims on my new cars and trucks and have never had any issues with the warranty at my dealerships because, I upgraded to nicer aftermarket rims and tires. Also, you see many dealerships adding aftermarket rims & tires to NEW vehicles on the lot.

If you live in a winter climate it would be a pretty good investment if you are going to keep the vehicle for a few years. You can use your stock rims and place winter tires on these rims and buy yourself a set of 18's or 19's that are a nice chrome rim that will just pop on a black car. Get yourself some nice high performance summer tires with the new larger rims.

Answer 2

you can always use a rims visualizer app. I personally like and spend a lot of time using RimsDealer.com visualizer. It's the best way to see your own car (you can upload a picture of your car) on new rims before you buy them. See the source! :)

i honestly would have to say light grey (lighter grey than the stock tc rims, like almost white grey), the black, then white. putting white rims will definitely attract a lot of attention, it'll look clean thats for sure though. black rims go well with the contour of the lines of the car, and with black tint that thing would look like a beast. but for the most subtle look, get the light grey. i've seen that and that looks perfect, classy but doesn't attract attention like the white or the black rims. check out the link i posted, it has pictures of all types of tc's with different color rims. and about the guy above who says his friends drive with 18's, yeah it'll feel that way if its on stock suspension without replacing the stock struts/shocks and the springs. what looks really nice is flint mica car color with black rims. no joke.

Answer 4

if you don't care about your warranty then get some rims, and just get whatever you like and can afford. i have some on a honda and i still love them after over 5 yrs. but i also waited to get them until that portion of my warranty was almost over.
