Get rims polished or get these?

Hey one of my rims is damaged and the other need polishing, they are 18" giovannas, i could probably get around 500 on ebay for them. It would cost me about that much to polish them. I just found the most beautiful set of rims Konig Imagine, i could get those for the same price if I sell the rims, pictures of my rims and the konigs are below, both rims are 18X8.5.

P.S. the pics with the konigs are 18X7.5

The konigs



The giovanna's (my max is black)

Those Konig's are pretty cool, remind me a lot of BBS...
Is your car going to be that low like the Integra? If not, I always find y-spoke rims look funny on Maxima. I always loved BBS Y-spoke looking wheels, but the other day I saw a white Max with 18" lowered with Eibach's.... don't look so hot.

Get your rims repaired. I LOVE the way they look. The new rims are not as wide, and I have seen them on a 4th Gen and I think they look .

really? well the rims I would be getting would be 18X8.5 in the konig imagine opal. I don't know why I'm liking the imagines. They have an indentation and then stick out like bimmer rims (love that), have studs going around the lip, and just look a little more flasy on a black car. Chrome is too flashy, but this seems cool and unique. I understand, ultimately, I should get what I like, but just interested in other's opinions, so let 'em rip!

Yes really. They won't look that good on a Max - they don't really suite the car because they are so intricate. The ones I saw were 18" silver, and like I said I didn't think they looked too good. As far as the pics you posted, you have to realize that they maek the Imagines look better. A slammed Integra in the dark vs. some car with lots of gap in bright daylight. Yes you should get what you like, and if that is the Imagines than so be it! If you don't like them you can always return them anyways, just takes some pics while the car is on the ground (not driver) and post a poll.
