Mille Miglia Evo5 in either silver or chrome. I tried to attach a photo, but as usual failed.........

Maybe Ed can !

Larry

Thanks Gene !

While I have your attention, what's your honest opinion on these ? Your car happens to look teriffic, so I know you'll say what you feel about these.

Thanks again for the photo. I really appreciate it.

Larry

I'm also planning on lowering the car and having the calipers powder coated. Do you think that would look OK with these wheels ?

Hey Lar, my wheels are similar (5-spoke) and I must respectfully disagree. The rims as well as the Rotors look great. Even on my old Supra (which had huge brakes) the rears still look dwarfed by the rims, mine are 19's too. Dont sweat it, those rims are very nice. Simple, clean and etc. Only difference with mine, well obvious, is that mine are setback a little more, so it gets closer to the rotors and calipers. Just make sure you get the closest ofset that you can get, I believe mine are +45. Anyways, hope my two cents helps.

I think they make a decent wheel at a pretty good price. I think someone on here has them in 19" chrome

Great choice!!!

Those are the same wheels I'll be getting on my soon to have Red SC. The SC is a fat car (fat as in fat as well as phat). Thin wheels look better on cars like the SC.

I think silver painted wheels look killer on red cars. Take a look at the IS300 in red with it's stock silver painted 5-stars.

Go for the 19's all the way.

Larry

Thanks guys for all the help ! I decided to go with the silver ones in 18".

I'll try to post photos when it's all done.

Just placed my order with Tirerack for a set of MM Evo5's in silver with a set of Michelin Piolot Sports........to be delivered fully mounted and balanced !

Can't wait to see pics. I may go the same route as I'm ready to give up on the infamous "wheel conversion kit".

Larry

I gave it a bit of consideration first. After looking at the conversion kit photo for a few months, I really started to dislike it.

I'm really excited about the wheels and tires arriving.

The total cost of the "package", including lug nuts/wheel lock, mounting, delivery to my front door and balancing came to $2,029.

I think this is pretty good since some folks have spent twice that on wheels alone.

I'm very happy with my choice.

Larry -

Be careful with the Milli Miglias. I had mine for only 2 months before 2 of them got dented going 30 MPH over a 1" deep pothole.

Larry

Thanks Rod. I have to be careful, especially here on LI.

Manaray

Keep your air pressure up...higher than 32 psi...it will roughen your ride but it will help prevent you dinging your wheel on some small potholes...

$2029 isn't bad but you can't compare it to people who have paid double or triple on other wheels (I don't think anyone has paid $4000 for MM wheels...if they did, I have a bridge to sell them)...

RodF

Actually, I had my pressure at 38 psi at the time. And it was more than a ding, it was two wheels that went out of round and were unusable. Just be careful. I think someone else posted in the past about a similar problem with MM wheels.
