18x8 Mille Miglia MM11-2 Sport

poldim · 11-23-2005, 03:50 PM

This is my tire debate thread between the Bridgestone Blizzak LM-25 or Dunlop Winter Sport M3 DSST.

Since Tirerack doesnt offer the run flat's in 18's, and I hear its a pain to find a shop to later change run flats of that size, I will be going with the Blizzaks.

Now comes my next decision:

OR

Mille Miglia MM11-3
Finish: Bright Silver Paint
Bolt Pattern: 5-120
18x8 $229 each

OR

Mille Miglia MM11-2 Sport
Finish: Bright Satin Sil Paint
Bolt Pattern: 5-120
18x8 $239 each

OR

The difference of 40 dollars between the two sets is pretty negligible. Both wheels look great to me. I slightly like the Silver one more because its spokes come to a ridge at their peak. Both look very easy to wash (Number one reason for not getting mesh wheels). I think the darker color gives that wheel a more interesting look.

My concern is their look on the car. I know that silver wheels look good against the Sparking Graphite since thats what comes stock. But the gun metal like color could clash and be a few shades off and end up looking terrible. I'm trying to jusitify getting either wheel over the other. Anyone want to assist me in my decision?

I will choose the silver one

I would choose the darker one - would imitate the look of the real M3 mags, IF you have a SG I feel the darker rim looks great!!!

My friend bought a set of 112 for his A4 and a wheel cracked going over a pot hole. He said its a little heavy and built cheaply. I would advise you to do more research, because at one time I was looking at those wheels too and found out through google search that those wheels are kind of heavy.
