Need 6th gen opinions

Im looking to get a set of winter wheels for the max. For some strange reason I sold my stocks when I thought about 20's. Now we really dont get much snow here in KC and I usually only drive the max on Fri. and the weekends but im getting tired of these heavy *** 20's. Heres where I need some imput.

I really like the Murano wheels, heres a quick photoshop

I like how it looks but it kinda sucks buying a set of rims I already own (the wife drives a murano) I'd actually rather roll these over the stock SE's. I can get a set of these shipped for 350$ w/o tires

Or, I found these.


Now these are 17's and their only 400$ and I can drive 2 hrs and pick up. The only thing is the rear tires he's runnin look a little tall.. He said their really light and no rash. Hmmm more chrome or alloy's?

Next theres these:



Now my buddy is selling these. Their 17's also with the same offset as factory.Theyve got 225/55's which is the same circumfrence as stock and the tires have 600 miles on them. I can have these for 500$ They look a little small, I guess the 20's got me spoiled.

I thought about powdercoating the murano wheels a light gunmetal and just rolling them for awhile. That might look like this:


Again quick photoshop. Any help would be appreciated. Im open for other suggestions. Nismo, Can you leave this up for a few? I know what the other gen's will say...

Thanks guys
Mike

Not sure what I'm doing in the 6th gen forum, but I'm a little bored. If you want my opinion, the stock 6th gen SE wheels are better looking than any of the wheels you posted here.

Everyone here (in KC) has the same stock wheels... I have yet to see a 6th gen here or on here with something different. (being stock)


This is kinda hard to see but you can get the idea.


But I appreciate all your comments all the same

I do remember seeing one 6th gen on here with G35 rims. Id like to talk to him. Cant remember who

My $hit is year round, during the winter season just hose them down to keep salt off if used during snow in your area, sorry I'm a 365 day a year representer.

I can understand the desire to be different, but there's a line to draw somewhere... if my car came from the dealer with 18" alloys on it, I wouldn't replace them with cheaper quality chrome 10 spokes.

You can get altezzas and look different too, but they're still ugly.
