Konig or Nismo?
Stemming from my last wheel thread, I have finalized my choice to the Konig Runaways: 18x8 ET35 20lbs @ $650 shipped.
However, due to some price dropping recently with these wheels, I'm starting to get very attracted to the silver Nismo 19" Forged Rays:
I could potentially get these for $750 shipped. My car is a Sunlit Sand 02 SE. What do you guys propose?
The Konigs Highs: Lighter, Better Color, Cheaper The Nismo Highs: Ray's Engineered, Forged, Look Outstanding.

I believe they run 20-21lbs, which is pretty awesome for a forged 19", so the difference from the Konig's are only a pound or two.

Better than $750 shipped? Do tell where man, that'd be awesome if I could get a lower price.

you're comparing 18's vs 19's
so....its really up to you. i would personally pick up the nismos.... why?
OEM, 19's and DEEPLY discounted. ---- just a better value overall.
However, the konigs finish looks awesome.
Both are good choices. just remember you'll have to buy tires too. that can RUN the BILL up real quick.... especially with the nismo 19's.
Good luck.
Anthony

Yeah, so far, the difference is about $80 for the tires I'm looking at. I wish I could see what both of these wheels look like on the Maxima... 
BTW: There was a 5th gen with 19" Nismo's on...can anyone find that picture? I tried looking, but no luck.

Are you freekin serious...$750 for rays. I have these wheels and I must tell you that these are the sweetest wheels ever. They do scratch easy though. Also, only $80 more for a set of 19s over 18s...did someone rob a truck straight off the boat? diiiaaaammmm
