In search of new wheels

I've been thinking about getting some new wheels for the max. I like whats on there now, but would like something a little larger and a different look.
Here's what I have now, 17x8 Borbet type E's painted graphite with machined lip. This is my car:


I'm in search of 18's, and the choice is between these few rims.




They are Tenzo R DC-6's, just different colors. I am a huge fan of SSR wheels particularly these on a maxima

The tenzo's are the closest looking style I have found at a much lower price.

so what do you guys think?

keep what I have, or solid black, black with red lip, black with polished lip?

It's your car, why do you care what other people's opinions are?

We can't tell you what to do, nor should you allow anyone else to tell you what to do in regards to modifying your own vehicle (especially with purely aesthetic modifications).

no kidding

I am interested in what other people think because I am up in the air about it and that may help me decide.

yeah I think the red ones would look good with little accents around the car.

Seems like those styles have been done too many times IMO. What ever you do I recommend going black if you are going to choose a darker colored wheel. To me a black car with darker grey wheels look a lil off, like the wheels are "ashy" or something.

I guess because of some site policy (I wouldn't know, im a noob), I cant start my own thread, but this is kind of urgent. My question is this- (and the only reason im asking this in here is becasue this is a thread about rims, and the ones im trying to buy are about to end on ebay) I drive a 1996 GXE stock, and I want to put these wheels that are 18 by 9 inches with a 28mm offset on my car. Will they fit? Please help me out, im just a poor lil noob...
