Okay guys, I am conflicted on whether to get new wheels first or the nismo kit first. I wish I could do both at the same time, but I just paid for the car in one shot so to do both at the same time would not be wise financially. However, since I'm not a big fan of the factory wheels and the front bumper along with the black trim all around is not great either. I am leaning towards getting the kit first but I am concerned that it will look funny with the factory wheels. What would you guys do?

 

What size are the factory wheels? Are you running the 19's? If so, i would say you could get away with the kit first -- if the wheels are smaller than the 19's - I'd say get the wheels first.

 

Nismo... I can't stand the plastic on mine neither and it's my first priority to get rid of it as soon as possible. You can always get the wheels later. Just my 2 cents

 

I would go with the Nismo too.

 

The factory are the 17s T.T and yea the front bumper for the 03s is seriously just so ugly ><. Thanks for the opinions so far.

 

I went the other way with my car and wanted the nismo every time I saw it. At least with the nismo you look like a very clean oem car and not an "ok" one with big wheels.

Sorry guys, just my $0.02.

 

NEVER THOUGHT OF IT THAT WAY. OKAY KIT FIRST ><!!!!

 

im voting for new wheels + lowering springs

 

That's because it would.

 

It was a factory option and I have seen a dozen or so around here with that kit and oem wheels. They still look 100X better!!

 

Cars with body kits and stock rims look silly. Get the rims first.

 

yea wheels will make it look nice but our front bumper kills any look

 

OK so why would it be a factory option?

Have any of you seen the nismo on a stock sedan in person?

 

^I have and it makes a huge difference, even with stock wheels. My vote is to go with the Nismo kit first, then get wheels.

 

Yes, but you have 05 rims. He has 03 rims. In my opinion the 03 17" rims blow ba115. I say get the rims first. The kit is good and all, but most people seem to notice the rims before anything else.
Just my .02

In the long run it's your car, get what you want.
