jus go to them with a foreign accent so that way if you pronounce it wrong, they'll understand.

I'll never say that and quite frankly would have trouble keeping it together if i heard someone say that. Nissan guys have always said NISS-MOE. I've never really ever heard anyone say that and if they did i would surely not know what they were talking about. When you break it down you have a very valid point, but you have to admit it sounds like sh*t.

Co-Nig. I know their Marketing Director.

As far as NISS-mo or Kneez-mo, It's the prior.

When pronouncing "Nissan" in Yankee-speak, we say "Knee-sawn"... However, the proper pronunciation is NISS-ahn (rhymes with with missin)..which means NISS-mo would be proper as well.

ahhhh lost in translation...i eat my wordz with nizmo

Post by **kyle@stillen** » Mon Jul 21, 2008 2:58 pm

thanks for the responses guys!

hey kyle they are the konig trouble, looking for 18x8 but it will be a few months before I buy but that would be great! hopefully adidas doesnt think im "copy-catting" , they just look sooooo good and since my coupe is radient silver it should look different

Post by **adidas2go** » Mon Jul 21, 2008 7:53 pm

No worries bro, everyone is copycatting everyone. Its a new market for this car

hehe, my wheels are coming from Japan. Currently waiting for them to come in.

Post by **kyle@stillen** » Tue Jul 22, 2008 12:18 pm

No worries man...I would actually suggest ordering them as soon as possible...Those wheels are being discontinued and they might not be available for long...Last time I checked there were only 2 SETS (8 wheels) still available and that was 3 or 4 weeks ago...

WOW... this is a great thread.

can anyone say grammar lessons....Gram-er..

I agree with 08altima35 Knee-san does sound like sh*t.

Post by **Enzo24** » Wed Jul 23, 2008 6:31 pm

I'm glad I've been saying Konig the right way...I've been saying Nissan as Niece-sawn my while life tho.I find it annoying when ppl say Knees-SAAN for some reason.
