help with decision
Which of the two wheels would you get between the millennium and the Emill.I originally fell in love with the millenium.but,the emill is lookking pretty sweet.I found a decent deal for 19's with toyo tires.

thanks for the replys guys...Not quite what I expected I thought there would be more votes for the millenniums.I really like both wheels.The only
couple of reason that Im leaning towards the millis over the Emils .

1)weight...Those Emils look heavy

2)The emils are pretty simular to thw monos that are on the car already

W124's
I would go with the Millenniums.

I have a ton of pictures of W124 with that style wheels which I'll post later since I'm at work right now.

and you can easily fit 19's on the W124.

i know it's blasphemous to buy knockoffs, and everyone will say just save up for the real deal, but if you really like that style of wheel....
