Default Need opinions on wheel trade

Ok so I just got the infiniti oem wheels brand new and put some new tires in it maybe about 30 miles ago. Well one of my neighbors has a set of maya rt5 wheels he wants to do a straight trade for. Wheels are 19x9 in front and 20x10 rear. Wheels are in decent shape but need tires soon. What do you think about this trade? Other thing is wheels are matte black with polished lip. So I would have to get wheels refinished. Here s a thread to the wheels I have now

I'm leaning to mods. I just dont know how it would look with different sized wheels and they are matte black which I dont think they would look good on my car. Maybe I need to do a photoshop request

What color is your GS? Do you have pics? Sorry, too lazy to search to see if youve posted before. lol. Matte black might look good. Is the face and lip all Matte? Or lip polished?
