Default my $100 winter rims!!!

since school is coming up, i figure i get the oil change and throw on the winter rims now so i dont have to do it while i'm stressed out in pharmacy school. i won these sc430 rims on ebay for $160 shipped a little while ago and sold my stock 16"s with tires for $350....i know i might get flamed, but i figure 18" > 16" here's some pics...it matches my car nicely IMO. its nice to have OEM rims on again cuz it gets rid of all vibration whatsoever. even with centering rings, i could still feel a little vibrating with my aftermarket rims...




here with my buddy's maxima

It doesn't look that bad. I do like the Maxima though. Looks a lot like mine.

Smart move and not a bad look for winter. A little early!!! but still it's better to get it out of the way for school as you stated. At least you don't have chains on your tires

your winter rims are now bigger than most people's summer rims ! haaha Hey, as long as you don't mind paying a bit more for 18"s rubber
ya it felt like i won the little lotto when the auction ended. eventually i found 4 michelin alpines on ebay as well for less than $100 per tire so it was nice.

Welcome to the club! I struck it rich too when I snatched up my set of SC430s back in May for 99. Shipping was 110 but shoot 210 still isn't a bad deal considering I got two runflats on them when they arrived (I've since taken runflats off but that's besides the point)
