I still like my (and several others) choice better than those you picked - but it's your car and your money.
2011 BMW X3 35i Vermillion Red, MSport
and
2012 Toyota Camry SE V6 in Alpine White

I'm really torn. Some pictures of the Evo 5's they look almost gunmetal. some websites say they come in hyoer silver others say only hyperblack.

I might see if my local guy is willing to order in in a set of both the evo 5's and the Inferno's so I can see what the color really looks like with the understanding that I will buy the rims and tires from him picking between the 2. As long as he doesn't get jammed with a restock charge he'll probaly do it.

So many people have picked the inferno's and I too like the color beter than a black.

Buying wheels is like buying shoes over the internet. Most of the websites like Tire trends do have a feature to let you scan your own car but only about 10% of the wheels can pe put onto the picture on the site the rest don't work.

I really appreciate the help. I'm going to have to live with this for 2 or 3 years so it has to be done right..but it also has to be done  ;D

Which picture is the right car?  The first one (posted by UmroAyar) has 4-bolt wheels and the second (posted by 2latecrew) has 5-bolt wheels.  IMO, 5 spoke wheels look terrible on 4-bolt cars because of the symmetry mismatch.  If you have 4-bolt wheels I'd go for an even number of spokes unless the wheels come with huge center caps that hide the bolts.

Both are the right car but the 2nd one is the right color.

All maximas are 5 bolt its probaly just the picture that looks funny.

Ok, I saw the optical illusion once I cropped the picture down to the front wheel and resized it 400%.  Being a 5-bolt car, go with 5 or 10 spoke wheels.
