I think 18 or 19" wheels would look great on the Altima, but I have stuck with the 16" wheels because (to VictorE1123's point) 18" or 19" wheels and tires are expensive.

I do a lot of freeway driving at, at 56K miles, I still have about 20K miles left on the stock Continentals. And, at $84 (or $108 for the Michelin Exalto AS tires) each to replace, my pocket book will be happy.

What I find shocking (in a good way) was my inspection of the brakes! at 55K miles, I did an oil change and inspected my brakes, expecting that I'd need to change them soon. Not so. I am estimating that I can go another 100K miles before I need to change them! Impressive.

Hey Victor, nice car! I just picked up an 09 altima and had a question. Did you changes the struts as well or just the springs?

Congrats on the new ride... and i only changed the springs. The original shocks/struts have been fine for the past 30,000 miles or so...

Bought an 09 a month ago...really like it. Took me a while to find a red one. Like the keyless entry and ignition. Im getting about 32.5 mpg.

Im in Santa Cruz CA.

I've had my Hybrid for awhile now. Been driving it since June 2011. Love it. Will upload pictures when I get a chance.

Also, I'm looking for ideas for some mods. I do not have the best paying job, do you guys know of any smaller, cheaper, companies for parts?

I have had my winter frost 2010 hyb since july of last year, I have since had the windows tinted, 6k hid's, and polished 18's. I still manage to get around 33-35 mpg's. I love my car!
