Question on the first rims. What the he!! are 'Tuner Lugs' and why would I want them? Save up your money, get some quality - you'll be happier in the long run.

First ones seem to only fit 4 lug.

Second ones are poor quality ADRs.

Get neither

You obviously don't have aftermarket rims. They are necessary most aftermarket rims, especially those with open lug holes.

Yeah, don't put those $hitty wheels on your car. 5Zigen makes a wheel similar to the first one.

It's not that you WANT them - you NEED them to fit most aftermarket rims. They are the "socket style" or "allen style" cylindrical lugs, with the special tool (hehe - I said "tool" )

Oh, to answer the first question, I like the ADRs better - the way the spokes meet the rim looks better to me. I have no idea which are better quality...I've had cheap alloys and I've had high-dollar alloys, and never had a single problem with any of them FWIW

I just bought these in gunmetal for my Max...

...don't know where they stand on the "quality scale" either, but I like the way they look
