Rim opinions needed

I looking at a couple sets of rims:

18" Mille Miglia Evo-5 silver

or

18" 7 spoke G35 rims with some rash, but I was thinking of painting them gunmetal.

My 02 Maxima is majestic blue.

You didn't say this was a thread only for people who know exactly what the G rims look like compared to a Milli Vanilli whatever.

Pictures, please.

Mille Miglia. Hands down. Here's a picture from an old FS thread. Gorgeous rims.

However, like in this photo here, your rotors and calipers are going to stand out. As long as you're OK with that.

i like the mille vanille better, but the exposed hardware seems to ruin the flow/design...

still a better choice than the G35

I love the Mille Miglia's EVO 5's but Where at online could you buy these?

I'm also going to purchase new tires and rims very soon. I was looking at the Sport Edition KV5's from tire rack, they look almost identical to the Miglia.

That does look like the Mille's, doesn't it?

I swear, Sport Edition designs knock-offs. They have a rim that's the spitting image of the Infiniti G37S wheel (which is made by Enkei):

sport edition may be like rota, sportmaxx and all the other "cheap" wheel companies that just make copies...
