I have currently on my car some Enkei Silver style #22(Etoria)that I bought from victoriatire.com this year in March and I have had my car a year yesterday for $115.00 each and they are flawless,no scratches and they are not a year old yet very well taken care of they are 15x6.5".

I am going to change my tire size from 205/65R15 to 225/60R15. My dilema is that I want to get either the 5Zigen GT8 from Washingtontire.com 15x6.5" for $120.00,
or the Konig Caffienes form discounttiredirect.com for only $72.00 each

I want to sell my rims what should I ask for as a price rims alone?and am not sure if I am selling tires with them too. So 5Zigens GT8 or Konig Caffienes.......Decisions,decisions,please help me decide and don't flame me for having the stock tire size that is what I like and can afford unless some of you want to buy me some 17's or 18's hehe....Thank You very much in advance I respect the knowlege and support of this board so opinions good or bad pros and cons will be appreciated. Take in consideration my car color also. I know that the rims I have already look very similar to the Konig Caffienes.

Why not just wait until you get enough cash for larger wheels. I had 17s on my Max, but ended up taking them off because I wanted 16" lightweight racing wheels. With springs, I think 16s are the bare minimum for a Maxima. 15s look too small (especially on stock springs) and they don't let the full effect of the wheel to show thru. If I were you, I'd wait a while. Hell, your current wheels are virtually new.

I'd go with the 5Zigens

What's the price difference between the 16" and 17"? I think you can get the 17" GT8 package for around $1100-$1200. They are not that expensive. Check out http://www.wheelwarehouse.com.

You can get these 17" for $1299. If you shop around, I'm sure you can get them for around $1100.

Check the Specials section on http://www.discounttiredirect.com . They have some amazingly cheap 17s that are real damn nice. Enkeis, Fittipaldis, etc.. Your car will thank you.

Just select your model and limit sizes to what you want.
Sort by price as well...

BTW, the 5Zigens look much better, IMHO.

As you mention, the car color presents certain issues.
The normal bright silver wheel colors don't necessarily look the best vs pebble beige. Consider carbon/black colored rims. Also, you might consider having your rims painted.

It seems that you are into showing the car, so plus sizing is almost a given. You might consider going to at least 16".

TireRack has Mille Miglia Spiders. I also like the MM Emotion. If you can find them elsewhere, I think Power Racing makes their wheels in a Bronze finish, which _might_ go nice on the beige car (it might look bad too, though)
Otherwise I'd even consider a dark finish wheel like the Team Locos (142 and 143, 16" though) or Kosei K1. At discounttiredirect, there are Techomagnesio Rallye and Sport rims. I personally prefer 5 spoke wheels to 6 spoke though.
