I am considering whether I should get Borbet Type E or TSW Revo rims. Can anyone post pictures of those on their cars? Help me decide if you can. Thanks!

The Type E's are nice if you want a subdued, understated look....

I have the Borbet Type E's. I love them, nice look too. Close to factory, but still different. I am very happy with them.

Ive been wanting those rims too but Im low on the funds. I think they look the best on the Maxima from all the wheels at Tire Rack.

I second everyone else.. Borbet Type E's are the best looking wheels for a Maxima. I've wanted them since the day I bought my car.

Cheston and Jim Files both have/had TSW Revo's. I don't have a link to Jim's old car, but cheston's site is known by everyone. wwww.maximadriver.com

According to http://maxtuning.com/tech/wheelsweights.asp and http://home.earthlink.net/~cvlocas/wheels.html , they weigh 21 lbs.

And the TSW Revos are 23.5

That's not too bad. Now I need to decide whether to get the 165s or 17s.
