Help me with wheel decision

I am going to get one of these wheels in 17x8 in chrome. They look just alike with a slight difference in the center cap.

Which one should I get. Anybody got anything bad or good to say about either of the wheel manufacturers. Don't worry about wheel weight.

Agreed, I can't stand chrome...just a nice clean matte silver is best. But for the style, the first one pictured is better.

If I had to choose, I would go with the second ones (Speedy).

It's probably the exact some wheel, but Speedy charge less. The wheel is probably made in Taiwan.

ADRs are usually heavy...SPeedy are better looking, in my opinion. What is the weight of each rim?

I called Speedy and the lady told me around 17 to 18 pounds for 17" silver.

Wow, that's pretty good if it's true. Yeah, get the Speedy ones.

How's the pricing? Which brand is cheaper?

this is awesome if true, 17 lb for 17" wheel. ADR Kasai looks too much like Momo Sports (?) too many ppl have those and design is outdated. Speedy ones look very up-date, very clean look. I bet those ADRs are at least 22 lbs each.

Made a decision

Well.........

The Speedy is out of stock and will be for the next month or so.
I don't like the way the center cap looks on the ADR.

So I picked another wheel that I found while looking around the net.
I have already ordered them.
They are 17x8 in chrome. I know I said I would buy silver but, I thought these looked real good in chrome. Let me know what you think.

Alternative to Chrome

Konig is importing Maxxim wheels which are available in "Radianzz" color.

This would be a better alternative to Chrome
