Default Opinion on Wheels

I got an ibis white car so I got the following rims in mind, the tire size I'm looking at is 255/35/19.

1) Mandrus Millenium: http://www.mandruswheels.com/millennium.php
the gloss black ones

or

2) VMR v708s: http://vmrwheels.com/
matte black or gunmetal can't make up my mind

While the VMR v708 will give you a more stock looking wheel..
I am a BIG fan of Manduras wheels...

My pick . (A) Manduras...

I'd pass on anything VMR. Poor quality.
I wouldn't risk my passengers or my life because I wanted to save a few bucks on wheels.

The Millenium's look cheap IMO. So many better wheels choices out there.

thanks guys, hopefully more ppl will post their opinions. The mandrus wheels look good on the site but I haven't heard of anybody with having them on their cars or their quality. I've looked at other wheel threads but none of them really appeal to me. I like the Hartmanns also but DirtyVegas posted pics of his being cracked.

Nice options..I have a set of barely used 19" Mandrus Mannheims in my garage if anyone's interested, as well as used 245/35/19 Falken FK452.

Yup... just imagine how I feel. Save up and don't go cheap on wheels. Don't do reps or knock-offs. Get a set that can handle the road and something that you will be proud for having on your car. I should have gone BBS CH Black editions...
