Evo 5's i believe are more lightweight...i coulda sworn i saw 18.5 on tirerack (i also saw 23.3 on other websites) but i don't know if that is possible...the EV-S if i remember correctly is obviously more heavy and the spokes are more square..it also seems like they concave in towards the middle more

Here is a picture of the Ev-S... (max4speed)

Here is a picture of the Evo-5 (Igor911)

After looking at those pictures i actually think i like the Ev-S better...good luck with your choice

The evo5s are really nice looking but they are extremely soft as someone else already suggested. I've had mine for about three years now and they have lots of little nicks and dents...but I live on a dirt road so that has some effect.

Very true about the nicks and scratches. I noticed that right away and mine are only a year old. I still love these rims.

Guys, there is a new version of the Evo 5

Yes, thats right, Mille Miglia has release a new version called the FX.

I guess i said it first, but i don't like they way the FX looks kinda ricey with the raised FX Letters

I luv my Evo5's

I'm likely to purchase the FX though, for my next car, unless someone releases a nicer/cleaner 5 spoke wheel.

Nice

Hey Those VR's are awsome, I like them, they look more sporty and with more style. But I like my evo 5s which are on my Maxima right now.

The handling is great. I have hit some major bumps with them and no bends yet. I really haven't noticed them to be too soft. I see some scratches on the inside of the wheel but the outside is still immaculate. I have had mine for about 9 months I guess. The EV-S does look real tough, really agressive, which I like. I didn't like them at first that is why I went with the EVO-5's. But that pic of the EV-S earlier looked real nice.

They both look nice. EV-So be a little more unique on the .org, but I'd prob go with the Evo-5

Defenetly the evo-5s are the best. Unless anyone has VR's on. I would like to see that.

www.tirerack.com has the EV-S still, but the EVO-5s are discontinued.

Btw, there was a guy selling his 18" EV-S in the Classifieds... I saw em in person, they looked great and they're in good shape too...
