Help me pick my rims :)

Black 97 max se, full 5% tint, lowered with H&R's and tokico's (might go sprints/agx's soon though), and probably getting a stillen kit before spring. I currently have 18x8.5" Chrome MOMO Arrow's, but i've been trying to sell them to have some money towards new rims.. 19x8.5" Mille Miglia Evo's (Alloy).

I absolutly LOVE my Momo's but the reason i'm going EVO is I want my car to have a more sporty look to it this summer. (thus the stillen kit coming in, and the apexi catback). And these rims are awesome IMO. What's your opinion on this swap?

I'm also getting the 18" Evos...eventually. Excellent choice. I fell in love with them when I saw "Max4Speed"'s Maxima.

Where's that thumbs up smiley?

Later,

I think you should give your MOMO

Those look hot on your car. But if you want more sporty, then get silver or gunmetal rims.

for practicality go with 18"s, I def agree with you, Evos look HOT, but when you go 19" its goodbye to any ride quality and tires will cost you a grip... I need new tires for my 19"s and i ended up buying a new set of rims and tires in 18" for the price of the tires if you do go 19" may I recommend Bridgestone Potenza S-03s and by all means avoid Pirelli P7000s

I have them on my 19"s and they are the loudest most uncomfortable tires I ever owned, plus the tread life stinks. its Pirellis budget tire, and it shows, drive a car on Yokohamas or Bridgestones and you'll feel and hear a huge difference
