Help me choose..

So the winter is coming and I need a set of winter rims to go with my 2009 G37s Sedan. I have been trolling around Tirerack.com and have come up with these that look good on the vehicle, but can't make a proper styling decision about it. I would like something that would match the G37s persona... Elegant, sleek, but sporty although it may be asking for too much. I found that look good.

American Racing Villan

Sport Edition F10 Black
Sport Edition F10 Silver

I have a set of Nokian Hakka something RSi winters that work amazing for both dry and wet for the winter for the car.

Thanks All!

I almost got the Sport Edition F10 Black myself but ended up just getting a set of MB Wheels Weapons from Home - Discount Tire Direct

They look nice, however kind of ordinary. I am wondering if the black motif suites the car considering the car is black with black tinted windows. A little brightness may give it some more emphasis instead of being totally stealth.

Dammit the selection of rims is really limited when you have those huge brakes and need a +35mm offset on the rims. The only rim I may look into would be the Konig Unknowns, the look cool, but it screams "PIMP MY RIDE"

I'd lean toward the silver painted F10. The fully painted wheels hold up against the elements better than the machined wheels do. Call me if interested!

Hmmm... Can anyone tell me what a summer looking rim would look like as to a winter looking rim? I just want to know what differences there are or is it a matter of personal preference.

What is the maximum offset for rims for the car. I guess that +35mm will clear the large brakes, but what other offsets can I use, considering I have 18x8" tires?
