I went with 205/50R15's wrapped with Nitto 450's. Of all the research I did
on rims and tires, I found that overall, 5-star rims look the best. For the
money and for the functionalism, I found that the Lenso VPD-15's are worth
it. They are a very light rim and ran me $120 each. the tires were about
$70 each. I ordered them from Washington Tire and Wheel out of California.
Bill Fugua runs the place and is has outstanding customer service. He
called me to confirm the order the next day and sent the locking lugs and
made sure everything was complete. The shipping for 4 tires and rims
(already mounted and balanced) was $100 from California to Indiana. Tire
Rack is located in South Bend, Indiana (about two hours away). They wanted
$100 for shipping also. I just though that was outrageous. Plus they didn't
have the tires I wanted. You can visit Washington Tire and Wheel at
http://www.washingtontire.com. If They don't have something listed, chances
are that they sell it but they have problems updating their site to keep up
with what they have in stock. My total order ran me about $860 with
shipping and all. If you want a cheep way out. I have four tires and rims
for sale from my 1999 Nissan Sentra GXE Limited Edition. They are the
factory tires and rims from when I purchased the vehicle new. They all have
under 5000 miles on them. The rims are aluminum
with a 4X100mm bolt pattern. You can see the rims here:

The tires are Dunlop SP 20 A/S 175/65R14's. I'm asking $200 for the four
plus shipping. You can calculate shipping yourself at http://www.ups.com.
The shipping size and weight is 24"x24"X8" and 30lbs. for each tire. They
will be shipped from Muncie, IN 47303 to the destination of your choice. I
priced shipping from my house to New York and it was like $16.24 a tire. I
will also include the 16 factory chrome lugs with the tires and rims. The
rims are like new, no curb checks, just dirty.
