I just bought a new Nissan Sentra 1.8S and was thinking of jazzing it up a bit. I'm thinking about alloy wheels since the ones I now have seem cheap. The ones I have the cheap plastic caps. I was thinking about ordering them from the dealership, but can this be expensive?

So what do they usually cost and should I order a set of 4 from the Nissan dealer?

Lol don't order from the Nissan Dealer. Check out Discount Tire. They will install and everything. You will barely have to do anything.

Actually, try E-Bay. There are people selling Betamax machines and blank, unopened, Betamax tapes. If there are people like that, there has to be someone selling the factory alloy wheels for your car.

Good for you. You made a huge contribution to this thread.

Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or are you always this much of an ass? The OP asked how much alloy wheels cost, iloveme2 told him how much his alloys cost. Quite relevant to the topic at hand. You've got serious anger management issues, Minendo. Perhaps you should take a vacation?
Oh, and to stay on topic: I'll second the Ebay suggestion. You may also want to check out some Nissan forums to see if anyone has any for sale. Much cheaper than buying new :)

I think you can shop around at different performance shops in your city, get different quotes, and see in real life what would actually look good on your car. Most of the time, these things are not returnable.
