I need a second opinion, too!

[skreemin_trdgts]

Since everybody seems to need help making decisions about mods to their Celi's, I thought I'd get your all's help in deciding which wheels to put on my Carbon blue GT-S. Check out this site:
http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/Color/chrome.htm

I'm trying to decide between these 18"wheels : 1. ADR Battle EXE
or
2. Hyper-X D-spec
or
3. ADR Valkyrie(which i really like cause it's similar to the RacingHart)
Come on everybody!Tell me what you think.
I need to get these before April 20th. THANX

Out of those three I like to ADR Valkyries

ADR Valkyries

Reason:
I don't typically don't like wheels with the small bolts around the perimeter to join 2 or 3 piece wheels. Remember you'll have all these additional small places to clean if you go with one of the others. :(

Can we see some pics?

[kaioshin]

Click on the link lazy ass. :D

[ringthree]

Ummm, I dont like chrome wheels much. But if I had to pick I guess I would go with the valkyres.

[kaioshin]

My thoughts exactly

[skreemin_trdgts]

I personally don't care for chrome wheels as much either,but everybody here in town tells me chrome would look better because my car is dark. I like the Racing Hart Z5000(silver),which i am being told is a discontinued model. and i like the Konig Flatline(silver) which comes in 17" & 18" but if i can find it, ican only find it in a 17"

[kaioshin]

You'll hate chrome in the winter....
They discontinued the Z5000?!?!?! Damn that sucks!!! I think there are several knock-off brands though, maybe you can get one of them?

[skreemin_trdgts]

Prinya, I'd keep my stock GT-S wheels for winter no matter what I'd get. Yeah the guy I talked to on the phone at that link told me they were discontinued. First I'd heard of it too.
Has anyone else seen the Konig Flatline? It's in the March issue of SuperStreet on an orange Focus in a pull-out poster on page 195. I think this wheel looks tight & not much difference than the stock GT-S rim,except the few rivets & being 18".

No Macaroni for you. Only Jake gets macaroni.

[kaioshin]

Not bad... Good backup choice. :) Only question is... how heavy?

Side note: I just realized that I now have 5 sets of tires for 3 vehicles with sizes of 13", 14", 16", 17", & 18". How's that for variety? :D

I believe that ADRs are cast instead of forged are are a little bit heavier than stock. The chrome will add even more weight.

IMO the Valkeries look good.

How's that for variety? :D Yeah, I know they're not M&S tires, but I'd NEVER drive my GT-S in M or S. I only meant that I would use those wheels in the winter because there's more road chemicals that time of year that can ruin the finish on aftermarket brand wheels(especially clear-coating) easier than it can on factory OEM wheels.
