Opinions on wheels please

I'm getting some new 17" wheels for Christmas and wanted some opinions. I've narrowed it to either Mille Miglia Evo5 or Mille Miglia Action Sport. I know the Evo5 seems played out but I like that design regardless of who else has them. With the Action Sport I think the color would look good on my Grey Lustre 2k2. Here are links to both:

Thanks

Both are nice, but why not upgrade to 18"s? Personally, I like the stock 17"s and I don't see the point of swapping them out for the same size wheel.

ditto the above posts. I think the stock 17s are pretty darn good looking, if you're gonna spend money, at least go 18s

They both look good, but alot of people on here have the Evo's. Definitely go bigger if you can.

I already have 18s but don't really like them (Konig Tantrums), I also want a smoother ride.

I'm gonna offend some people, but please don't buy the Action Sports until you've seen them in person. They look OK on the Tire Rack's site but IMHO they look awful on a car. The Evo's look far better.

Chrome was big a few years back but is out of style now. I would go with 18's if I wre replacing my stocks too. I like the Action Sports. I also like the OZ Anteras (sp?) from tirerack.

I already have 18s and I don't really like them--does anyone have any pics of the Action Sports? I didn't think they were chrome but rather a darker shiny silver
