Talking

Its all about your taste of wheels. but it should be around 2k installed.

PS. Do it you will not regret it.

can cost anywhere from $1,000 to $5,000. It's all in your own taste as far as "nice" goes. D2 autosport is a good website to see a crap load of wheels.

Give us an idea of your budget and the type of style of wheel you're looking for.

You could but *personally* if Im going to spend money on wheels, 19" or 20" is the way to go... which requires new tires

You can get cheap 18" tires and wheels for about $1k installed if you look around.

You can get good 19" tires and wheels for about $3k installed if you do your research.

You can get great racing-performance 19" tires and wheels for about $5k installed if you want to go all out.
