I like #3, but it would have to big BIG in order to look good. If your not going w\ 20+ id go with #4.

very true they would definatly look better (3) if they were 20", its funny because when i had 20s on my other mark everyone thought they were 18s

I hate that, I get the same thing once in a while with my marquis. I think its either in your case the black finish or the fact that our wheel wells are fairly big.
 
Propulsions look directional, but I bet they only go one way. One side of the car would not be "right" if you know what I mean.

Not sure, maybe the do make both directions?
 
Number 2 is the only one I'd personally consider.

I'm definately against the #4. The fake rivets' contrast is bad against the black. The shape of the spokes and the finish makes them look something familiar to something a civic would wear. You generally really do get what you pay for.
 
I would like #3 also, but they are curved spokes. I like the LS and Town Car rims best. But thats me :)
 
have you tried Brad for cobra r's...?? i got my saleens through him...couldnt be happier.. and theyre 18's but everyone thinks they are 20's..

Stern is ADR....ADR is Stern

I am a dealer of their products. They build a decent product and as long as you don't need to make a claim with them its all good. Getting them to cover their product warranty is like pulling teeth. AND...Most dealers are no help because they already got what they wanted from you. So...Take that into consideration. I hope that coming from me it doesnt sound negative for any other reason than to inform/help you make a decision.

I would stay away from their polished/machined lip. They use a Clear Coat that yellows, unless they are using something else now. Stick with chrome or painted wheels IMO.

Cheers

Brad

They make a good product...There are just things you need to know before you make a decision. If the car is mostly a show car and only driven in fair weather and stored inside I would say shop your lil heart out and use any of their products. If the car is used more for personal use and not garaged then stick with their chrome and painted finishes.

they dont sound reputable, so ill put my money elsewhere, -10 yellow polished lip and bad warranty service.
