Help me decide on a set of new wheels...

So, I’ve been banging my head on the wall back and forth about a set of wheels for my Max. One pic is the my car with the stock 19’s. I do actually like the stock wheel but just wish it was a little wider. That said, after months of combing the internet I am down to 3 choices. 1) 2013 Nismo 370z wheels (not staggered but 19X9 all around). 2) Rohana RC7 in silver or 3) Rohana RC7 in gunmetal. Decisions, decisons...help me decide,

The way I look at tires, how hard is it (long does it take) to get one replaced if it gets damaged? If the store is nation wide, all over town, and can get your tire in your size in under 4 hours, you're in business. Then performance/comfort, looking for the perfect balance. Also great wet weather. I've stuck with the Bridgestone Serenity Plus series for a few iterations, they wear well, and perform well. And again, If I get a piece of metal that damaged the sidewall, I can bring it to Firestone at 7 AM, they usually have the tire in hand before 10AM, even on weekends if it isn't already on the shelf.

You know he is asking about wheels, right? Not tires.

"Shoes" in the subject means tires. And he posted a question without pictures...what kind of thread about wheels doesn't have pictures? Hence my confusion.

Gotta read the question; "So, I’ve been banging my head on the wall back and forth about a set of wheels for my Max. One pic is the my car with the stock 19’s. I do actually like the stock wheel but just wish it was a little wider. That said, after months of combing the internet I am down to 3 choices. 1) 2013 Nismo 370z wheels (not staggered but 19X9 all around). 2) Rohana RC7 in silver or 3) Rohana RC7 in gunmetal. Decisions, decisons...help me decide,"

When I saw the title I thought "another thread about tires"? Then when I read the question I thought, "another thread about wheels"?

Sorry for the mislead but yeah, looking for wheel opinions. I’m not sure why the pics aren’t posting I’ve tried three times now and no luck.

My vote is for the 2013 Nismo 370z wheels. No contest for me vs the RC7’s. YMMV.

Those RC7'S WILL LOOK GOOD ON THE MAX DEPENDING ON WHAT COLOR SHE IS, NOW IF YOU REALLY WANT THE MAXIMA TO LOOK BOSS....GET ROHANA RFX5'S OR THE RF2'S. THESE WHEEL'S WILL GIVE YOUR MAX A BEASTIE LOOK FOR SURE.
