So here are my new wheels,my chrome ones started to rust after a year.My wheels are 20'Enkei's.The really interesting part is that the chrome part of the wheel is just a insert,the wheels them selves are just all black and I also purchased a set of red inserts,so my wheels can go three diffrent ways.Will post pics of the red inserts as soon as I change them out.And now I desperatley need to get some paint in behind there because now its all exposed.lol

Re: New Wheels
I like these more than the old ones. I wish they didn't have the rivets.

Re: New Wheels
I wish they did not have the rivets either,on my last wheels they were indented,but these stick out and are a real bitch to wash.

Re: New Wheels
Our Les Schwabs do not have these wheels on display,however that is where I purchased mine.There is no one around in our area with these wheels though,especially when I change out the inserts to red.I like to be diffrent,their was way to many people rolling on rims like my chrome ones.So with these I can change it up and be diffrent,yet still have a lil bling bling that I love so much.

Re: New Wheels
Yes I do need to do that,on car domain also.I have such a hard time getting just the right light and angle on my photos.Your pics are great,were they done professionaly? The sig pic I have now is cool,but with the light it almost doesn't look like an Altima.I will work on it,I am so picky it could take a while,I do love photo shop though,it helps change things up a lil.

Re: New Wheels
No I took the pics myself, but thanks for the compliment =) I'm an graphic design student and been getting deeper into my photography hobby, the two sort of play off one another.
For your sig photo, its quite dark and hard to make out details on your car. It's probably because the car is in the shade and when your camera metered the image, it might have been reading some of the bright light in the background and underexposed your car. Just keep shooting and playing around with it, get some of the basics of composition and you'll be fine.

Re: New Wheels
Which wheels did you order? I was on a time limit due to my chrome wheels rusting,and both wheels I originaly picked out were on back order and I couldn't wait,Totaly sucks! I like my new wheels,but they weren't my first choice.I looked at a wheel called the Petrole(not sure how it was spelled?)Good Luck on the back order thing,we have ordered things that never ever made it,hopefully that won't be your case:-)

Re: New Wheels
Looks good. I would have gone with the Petrol as well. It is a pretty nice wheel. My 'new to me' G35 wheels will be here on Monday.

Re: New Wheels
You are lucky that you will be able to get the wheels you want.There were two diffrent rims I was interested in,the Petrol,then another that was made by Stern,but both were on back order,and because it had been about a year with my chrome ones that were rusting I was on a time limit to get them swapped or Les Schwabs wasn't going to warranty them.Sucks because I had to get what was available.But I do like my new rims,they will just take a lil getting used to,but its really that way with anything you change on your car. I will get a diffrent photo up today,but then want to take some better ones.The one I am posting is not my fav.
