        Second. Those are Rondells right? Much classier than the first one.

            Yes.

            ADR (first One) cost arround $389(4 rims) +140-150$ Shipping while the Rondell are near $650(in 16")Rondell and $799 for 17" ROndell plus hsipping wich I think is arround 100-150 too.

                2nd wheel. But please, don't get anything over 8" wide that stick out from the car. But yes, definitely the 2nd wheel.

                    It is just too far out there when you go much over that. I suppose it would depend on the offset and/or spacers, but wheels that stick out past the tires and/or body are just plain tacky. The design of that wheel is sweet, and would look really good on your car. I think the 8" would be more than enough width to fill up your wheel wells without going out past the car's width.

                            So, I guess I'm the only one who likes the first wheels. Although I have to agree with this guy:

                              I see, and I'm agree. Now what offset should I put if I go for 17x8 ? and what offset if I go with 16x7.5?
                              Thanks
