Which of these 19 inch wheels would you buy?

I just got a set of free 235/35/19 Nitto tires from a friend who switched to 18's on his BMW. I am down to a few choices on wheels for my dark green 96 maxima. I dont know if I am feeling getting gunmetal or black rims on a dark green car but maybe someone with that setup can post pics of thiers.

Unfortunately I cant post pictures of all of the rims Im looking at but check these out and tell me what you think!

1. ADR Phantom - 19x7.5 42mm offset, $689 shipped



more pics: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT


2. Katana Inspire - 19x8 775 shipped - Hypersilver




3. TSW Volcano - 19 - these are almost 1000 shipped which is pretty much the maximum Im willing to spend. Here is a link to an album of them on a Pontiac Vibe. They only come in gunmetal.

Right now I think I like the Katana's the best. I want to order the wheels as soon as today or tommorow as soon as I make the decision. If anyone has another suggestion for good strong 19 inch wheels that cost well under 1000 shipped then let me know.

The car is very dark metallic green / forest green. Some people think its black until they see it under the right lighting. The Katana's and the ADR's are "hypersilver" with the ADR's being hypersilver in the middle of the spoke and regular alloy on the flanks of the middle part of the spoke that juts out. Anyone have pics of the ADR's or Katana's on a car?

I like the TSW's. They look nice with that polished lip on them.

Arite! I just ordered the Katana's from racerwheel.com for 779 shipped. Im siked and I will post up some pictures when I get them on the car in a week or so. Thanks for your opinions. I decided on them because they are $170 cheaper than the TSW's, will look bigger on the car because they dont have a lip, will be easier to clean, and the roads here at Cornell in Ithaca, NY are really ****ty and I think would be more risky of messing up the lip on the TSW's. Plus a little brake dust wont show up too much and I dont have many good chances to wash my car here.

TSW would look the best and they don't have those annoying 10 holes like others

I ordered the katanas from another place that had them in stock. The TSW's i feel are a traditional style that I think has too much open space between the spokes, with stock brakes on the car. The lip might get damaged on the crazy potholes where I go to school. The Katanas I checked out on a few nissans on some websites. They look huge since the spokes go all the way to the edge of the wheel. Its basically a personal preference for me the TSW's are nice wheels also.

Here are katanas:

Although I'm not really feelin' any of them, I hate ADR, and don't really like Katana either. I'd prob go w/the TSW's over the other 2...
