Cool KMC DIMES OR ADR-78s ON AN 06 GS300

I need some opinions....which set of rims should I put on my GS300? KMC Dimes (non-staggered) or ADR-78s (staggered)??? Thanks.

I like the spokes a little longer or the center a bit smaller so ima go with the 2nd picture (ADR). Also i think there is 2 much going on with the 3pcs rivots on the KMC

yeah man, you've got a high quality car that can define luxury for many people. if you're gonna throw some shoes on it, it should compliment the car's quality, not deteriorate its reputation.

heads up that KMC usually designs wheels for trucks. I was into the KMC dime for the G35 I had, but found out they specialized more in truck wheels i passed. not saying they arent nice wheels. I like the dime over the other wheel

save the ADR's for your little brothers civic. The dimes are pretty cool but look better on trucks in big sizes..when they are smaller.. They seem to have a nasty bullface. if u like that split multispoke check Sevas they have a similar style one piece...
