I am losing too much sleep over this.....

I've been trying to decide on a pair of rims for over a month now....I STILL can't decide what to get, but I have it narrowed down to two options.

First option is ADR GT-Sport 18x7.5" in Hyper Silver finish (a darker, high luster silver) These shots are of a '97 Max with 19x7.5" GT-Sports in Silver I believe.

ADR GT-Sport Silver 1
ADR GT-Sport Silver 2
ADR GT-Sport Silver 3
ADR GT-Sport Silver 4

It's down to either the ADR's or the Mille Miglias in 17x8", still haven't made up my mind.

Mille Miglia Evo's 1
Mille Miglia Evo's 2
Mille Miglia Evo's 3
Mille Miglia Evo's 4
Mille Miglia Evo's 5

The Evo's look kinda silly on the Mustang cuz the wheel gap is so huge

Okay so I lied about the two rims...there's actually a third . Decisions, decisions, decisions.....

ACE Lolas 1
ACE Lolas 2
ACE Lolas 3 (Large)
ACE Lolas 4 (Large)
ACE Lolas 5
ACE Lolas 6
ACE Lolas 7
ACE Lolas 8
ACE Lolas 9

Pic 6 is KICK-A$$

Yes...you are losing too much sleep!
Personally, I'd go with 18" Albas!

Go with the albas, from far the EVOs look like the same OEM 16" wheels.

I've been wanting to get the evo's in 18" or 19" for a while, but lack of $$ keeps me from getting them. I think they'd look sweet on a 5th gen.

Yeah they do I thought about that too, but I don't necessarily think that the OEM 5 spokes look bad. But then again, I'm not sure if I'm okay with the having rims that look like OEM rims...this is a real headache for me. My girlfriend gets really ****ed at me every time I bring up rims because that's all I've been thinking about the last couple months and she's tired of hearing it from me

I say...

why buy the EVO's just to look stock? they are more agressive than stock, but from a distance, no one would know you had aftermarket wheels. the ADR's are hot..

The ADR's are nice, but if you get the Evo's in 19" then they definately will not look like the stock 16". But I do have a biast opinion. I also like the OZ's, but I can't remember the name right now, after a long night of going out, and it being almost 2 am.

pic a rim

pick somthing that also important to you other than looks to break the tie.

Do you want:
1. The lightest rims
2. The best price
3. You get the picture

When there are 2 thing I like I try and haggle with one of the dealers. If I don't get the price I can always walk out and buy the other brand. This is probaly not as effective if you are buying over the internet. Get some internet quotes and hit the local wheel shops.

Wheels you get for a good deal look better on your car.
