Thanks for your help. I'm trying to decide which one is better. Those rims or these Advan's. What you do you guys think?

I'd do the Advan's.
I had Mille Miglia's on my Jetta a couple of years ago and they seemed really soft. I bet two of them on different occasions during normal street driving. Tire size was a 40 sidewall. That's why I probably wouldn't buy their products again personally.

NO DOUBT!! Those Miglias look cheesy. This is one thing I don't understand about a good amount of car guys. You don't buy an Armani suit and go to JC Penny for a pair of shoes! You get what I'm saying. Car looks too good for an ordinary set of wheels

How deep is your pocket?? If you got the cash, go with Advans and best tires you could afford.

Ya, I guess I'll go with the Advans, besides, I heard that Mille is going out of business. I still love the Blitz 03's though
Thanks for your opinions!

Advan's are on backorder for 3 months according to a few shops here in the area. I don't want to wait that long
What about these?

I really never weighed them, I can tell you, they aren't particularly light, but they're also 3 piece forged wheels. The rears are probably well over 20 pounds a rim (18x10) and the fronts are probably 18 pounds (17x8) just guessing based on how heavy they felt compared to the stockers. The 275/35R18 rear tires weigh a lot too though. I'm a big fan of light wheels, but everything on the 7 is already WAY light and I really liked the Blitz wheels so I lived with it, plus all but the most rediculously expensive wheels this big aren't particularly light.
