Default Which rims would you go with?

Whats up everybody I am new on the forum, trying to keep a budget here and I want a new set of wheels. I decided on some 19 konig crosshairs or 19 privat gassen rims both staggered. I have a 04 silverstone grey Z. I know, these rims are not no volks or true 3 piece forge rims but not really care for the speed on this car. I have another car for that. All opinions will be appreciated and if you feel it is necessary bring on the flames.
Here some pics of the two rims I found on the net:

If you have to go with one of those go with the Konig Crosshairs

i think the konig's are trying too hard/a little overdoing it, but the other ones color wont look good on a silverstone unless u paint em black or something

Yep, rota's are definitely cheap, and not just the prices either

I like the Konig's...I put a post on here last month and was totally beat down by everyone for considering those wheels, but I think they look cool. I ended up with Volk GT-C that I bought used with tires for 2000....In the end you'll spend that much anyway after buying tires. Like the others said, check out the Rota wheels, they have 19" P45's now!

If you can find them, you may want to consider a set of the 19" Rays for the G35. They look good, are reasonably light, and have the correct offset.

Go to the private classifieds and find something used and worth while. I have found wheels for fantastic prices on there just never had the cash to fit the bill. If your to worried about buying used go with rota work or enkie rpf1s . There al great for the buyer on a budget. Just don't track rotas but for that matter don't track either of those top choices you picked either. You can find sick volks for just over what those cost anyway.
Please save yourself the trouble and don't buy those.

couldnt have sed it better myself.

OP, you cant limit yourself...you CAN get better wheels and better offsets for a cheaper price.. at least check out the ROTAS.. Check these out as well.

check out the battles or the weapons. Battles you can get up 9.5 width.. with a +23 offset... just something to think about..

I have no suggestions for the 2 wheel options you have... My question is ...Whats your budget?

Offsets are 19 x 8 30mm front and 19 x 9.5 25mm rear, I thought these were standard sizes? I check the other rims out everyone suggested. I really want to look pretty and color match the silverstone.

Right on..these are all suggestions...your opinion is what matters..So its ALL up to you.

Have you checked out how much 19 inch tires are?

Also are you planning on going lower? there are so many things to consider if you really want to make your car Look Pretty...

"...trying to keep a budget here and I want a new set of wheels..."

Man, you're driving around in a Z and you think you need different wheels to look good?
