couldnt find any bad reviews on the nexen tires, and rims look simple enough for me. the seller even shows what they look like on a xd, mines silver,so to me they match. they're 719 plus 76$ shipping. so what do ya'll think?

Nexen is a Korean company, pretty much just entered the american market, kinda like hankook and kumho a couple years back. they've been getting a lot of good reviews though so no probs in that department. Other then that the price is pretty standard for a set of rims and tires. Not a big fan of the rim style though but its ur car

went ahead and bought them today. someone else (pwq 860) here bought them a while back and was happy with them so i'm hoping for the best. praying that the tpms stems fit the new rims. if not...oh well i guess. gonna do the tanabe df210's and wheels same time, all day fun fest in the drive way!

Eh I've seen that style on other cars near me and they're not my taste. Then as Zefoxe says, its also your car With a silver car, it doesn't look that good if the wheels are chrome or very shiney, which those look like. Do you have a particular spoke preference on wheels? There are a lot of stores online that have many different kinds of wheels so if you haven't looked off of ebay, you should do so.

Don't know much about Nexens really. Have you looked on America's Tire Co. website and read the reviews of them on there? I have Nitto NeoGens which are about $110 a piece, but Nitto sells some around the $80-$90 range.

What I was told when I was wheel shopping is that you should spend more money on the rubber than the metal

good luck with the tires and wheels, post pics when you get them on.

not my style but it should be ok. hey as long as you like them. if not then don't settle for anything less than what you want.

Not too bad.

had them on for a couple weeks now, gotten alot of praise on the wheels.
