Dont want to make a $1000 bad decision!! Need advice!!!

i thought i was pretty set on some wheels, but im beginning to have doubts if theyre the best looking ones. i really dont want to make a $1000 purchase that i might regret after a month.
anyways, please let me know which you think are the best out of these:

ADR Nengan 17" were my original choice. no one really has them, and ive always liked the 2 spoke design, but i dont know how they will look on the car.


then theres the RS-Racing RS-32 17"


then the ACE Spade 17"


or the Maxxim 187 17"


or the Maxxim Defcon 6 17"


im looking for silver painted, machined lip if thats how they come...but not chrome or anything like that. i have a silver sedan.
please help me make a good choice. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

I ordered the ADR M Sport in the Ion metalic finish
They look just like chrome, but it is made a different way so it is completely resistant to brake dust.
VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!
Only rinse em off and give em a wipe down and there is NO more maint.
I have one pick on my members ride, check it out.

I LOVE EM!!!![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/IMG]

maybe it's because i have some already and i'm partial but Tenzo rims look really good on 7th gens. you just have to decide if your going race, show or style, then pick.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/IMG]

I like your first choice or the third one down, as well. I was condering those myself but went with the RS Limited Trama instead....

Well if you go with the ADR's you will original... I have never seen anyone with those.
But, on the other hand I like the Maxxim 187's. I dunno man... they will all look good![IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

i like the top ones the best by far. they look very similar to the ones i've got my eye on. i'm retarded and i don't remember their name though. i'm also too poor to afford them. [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-sad.gif[/IMG] good luck though. i think the first ones would look badass

I like the second and third ones down, probably would go third, everyone has the 5 spoke, but 6-spoke looks good on our cars

wow, so i guess you guys like my first choice a lot. hehe
still wanna know what others think as well, but for now im thinking of sticking with the ARDs.

Hawk, i looked at whalen tires, and they do have good prices, but StreetTrendz can make me a better deal, so Im gonna go with them as my first choice provider. unless someone can beat their price (very tough to do I must say...but PM me if you want to try).
