My wheel dilemma- 19 or 18? Which ones? Help!

Okay, I'm the guy who banged on ADR in a previous post. I'm at the point now where I don't even want their wheels on my car. I was never in love with them to begin with....

I have a credit with Toyo and I have worked out the following numbers..

Both packages will have the Toyo FZ$, so which one should I go for?


19" ADR X-Factor- 4 wheels need to be remachined- cost $360
Toyo tires (after discount) $386
TOTAL 19" package- $746

OR


18" Maxxim Rumor- $625
Toyo tires (after discount) $318
TOTAL 18" package- $943

I could probably sell the 19" wheels on ebay for a few hundred bucks and let whoever buys them remachine them...... Ya think?

The ride quality of the 18"s would be better. Plus the wheels would be brand new....who knows how the 19"s will look when the machinist gets done with them?

Should I pay $200 more for new 18's that I REALLY like? Or stick with what I have?

Ok this is the Maxxim Approach

This is the Maxxim Rumor

So which one are you thinking about purchasing?

Crap. I don't know. Which one is cooler? The bottom one is $5 more per wheel... But I think I like the machined look.....

Go with the Approach in white. I'm sure that Konig/Maxxim has to offer the white's in 18, although it says chrome.

18s

Ride quality (comfortability and smoothness) is a great deal for me so i'd go with 18s.
Choice is up to you.
Good luck

Man, I really like that machined look. I wonder it they will be impossible to keep clean with all of those little screw holes on them..... I think I am getting the Rumor..... I like that inside lip.
