need help deciding

i've decided to just go ahead and get rims while i'm already in dire need of tires. hopefully i can get a good deal on a rim and tire package, but i need some help deciding. i'm most likely getting 18's.

i like these: they're ADR sterling's in chrome

these are BSA 259's in black:

and these are BSA 250's in silver:


what would you guys go with? I'm leaning towards the ADR's. also how bad is it gonna look at stock ride height? i have to save for a couple more weeks for my H&R's and illumina's. also what's the bolt pattern for a 5.5 gen? 5x120?

5x114.3
the adr sterlings and the bsa 259's look identical... heh.. but i've always like the adr sterlings... also another alternative to that would be the falken torque 5... they look similar to those three models

the only listed bolt patterns for the ADR's in 18's is 5x112, 5x120 and 5x135. the only rims with 5x114.3 are the 19's. does that mean they don't have an 18" application?

i looked at the falkens but i don't really like the rivots along the outside of the rim.

ok they have the adr sterlings listed in 2 finishes one's chrome and the other is called "diamond cut", which is cheaper. the diamond cut has an application for 18" in 5x114.3 bolt pattern, but the chrome doesn't. so what's the dif between diamond cut and chrome as far as 1)appearance and 2)quality?

yeah i placed my order yesterday. i got the 18x8.5" ADR sterlings in chrome, which are on back order and the tires are nanking(sp?), which were what came with the tire and rim package. i also ordered my H&R springs and am in the process of saving for some illumina's.
thanks for the opinions fella's. those were my top choice but i really like the black with the silver lip.

***If anyone is looking at ADR Rims go to www.gotwheelsandtires.com. according to the guy Pete, the prices on all ADR rims has increased. he told me that he'll honor the price listed on the web page until they get the chance to update it to reflect the newer, higher prices.
