Those MRR will make your 20 look like a 18 incher, that curved face is a
Between these 2 wheels, I will have to pick the Nads

Well, i wouldn't pic either of thoughs. I say go with a nice black face with a chrome lip, over a charcoal with a chrome lip. and the MRR are going to look small due to the curvature of the face. My advice is take a good look at Aftermarket wheel section of the forum. You can find some sweet 20"s for short money. Good luck

The Nad 4's have less curve in the spokes, it looks a lot nicer

Between the choices you have given us, I would go with the Nad wheels.

someone on the forum has both of these wheels, just search, ill have to agree with hartwan that the mrr will make your 20's look like 18'', in addition the design is a little too complex for the design of our cars, they'll gain more attention than the vehicle itself, the nad 3's are ok, but in my opinion i would keep looking!

NAD 3 from these two rims. Color will and style of rim will look best IMO out of these two on a BLK car. Gray, black, and graphite color rims look best on blk cars.

A vote for both is a vote for neither =)

If you put a gun to my head, MRR GT1
