Wheels: can't decide!

So I've currently got Borbet Type E's; 17x8, classy 5 spokes...the works. I like the look of them, but have been drawn to BSA 245's and 206's:

Check out the pics and tell me what you think.

I like both of them. The 245's look EXACTLY like Konig Verdicts, except for the centercap of course. Look for pics of Maximas with Verdicts (there are a few of them) to get an idea of what they'd look like.

Later,

I think the 245s are tighter. The 206s don't look bad either. You're right Nick97se, the 245s look exactly like verdicts, guess they are knock-offs or something.

I like the 206's, but mainly because everyone and their brother has Verdicts (or knock offs) on their Prelude, Civic, Accord or Integra around here. The 206's look a little different

Wow, it's exactly 50/50. Thanks for your opinions guys.

As far as too many people having them...I live in sunny OH, so not too many people mod their cars, let alone buy cars worth modding (GM galore ).

I think I am leaning toward the 245's. Decisions, decisions...

Any other comments?

Not anymore. I vote 206s, because the 245s are played out and the 206s I have never seen anything like on a Maxima before. But to be honest I don't see why you're getting rid of the ones you have...

LOL, now I vote for the 245s!!!!! The 206s look a little too fat for my tastes, also, they look like those other wheels some other peeps have, Bags533 has the set I am talking about. Both of those are knock-offs lol....

Yeah i like the 206's too.
An alternative to the 206 is the Speedy Atix-5
Cheapest price I've seen is from Alex@SouthwestAutoworks.com
