uhm..f* the ADRs...the girl in your avatar is beautiful! who is it?

 

I had ADR M Classics on my BMW they were good wheels.

 

My ADR's never chipped and I abused the fukc out of them... never bent either... I think people think that b/c they're a cheap rim that they suck. Not true.

 

I have had my ADR M-STYLE's for about a year and they have worked great for daily driving.

 

The only thing I'd be concerned about with wheels like this is weight. They will weigh a ton. They look fine (subjective) and will hold up to some moderate abuse but they're just heavy. That's where most cheap wheels fall short. If you can live with that, go for it. I say most because some Rotas are pretty light. You have to be selective.

Most people don't need forged wheels. The only advantage to forged on the street is weight savings. As far as durability, if you hit a major pot hole, forged or not, they will bend. I've seen forged BBS wheels give out on major pot holes.

So, get them if you like the looks but they will make you slower. Good luck.

 

They look even better now that I lowered the z 1.25 in front, and 1.75 in back... nice and level. I get a few comments every time I ride out, on how well they match my car.

 

Did I mention that I only paid $399 for mine?

 

Are those 19s?

 

18x8.5 + 255/35/18 and 18x9.5 + 275/35/18

 

I paid $100 more for brand new forged SSRs but I won't rub it in too much

Hey, if you like the wheels and don't mind the weight, go for them. As long as you're happy, it's all that matters.

 

ADR vs stock 03 05 track wheels for similar prices, I will def go oem at ~8 lbs lighter per wheel
polished lips on the OEMs are very nice looking..

 

I have ADR. I like them.

 

Ah, also forgot to mention that wheels like this will effect your braking as well. Since you'll have significantly more rotational inertia, the brakes will have to work harder to do their job. Another thing to consider. I guess I think more performance than bling....just personal preference.

 

though adr is a cheaper brand they do last a long time and stay in good shape. I know many people with different types of ADR wheels and they couldnt be happier....

go for em...that lip is SICK! :P

 

Wow! Your wheels/car look awesome I can see why you get compliments. I just bought the same wheels in black for $293. Not too bad of a price for a nice looking set of wheels.

 

The sterlings have always been some of my favorite ADRs...they're just heavy....if you're not tracking your car....then get em. Check out the Ruff Racing wheels too...reasonably priced option for wheels.

+10 on the 19s over 20s too. IMHO. 20s look hawt, but I think ride quality and brake life will suffer pretty badly.

 

hmmm

 

adr's chip like crazy

 

Is it necessary to post twice saying the same thing?

 

there are pretty mixed reviews on these. I was tempted for a second but am holding back for now. They do appear to be very nice but I feel like wheels are something I really want to "do right" the first time. I think I am going to wait and see what my '08 Z budjet is like from head office lol. Then I will decide on wheels.

Ps. Always nice to know there is a less expensive, yet pleasing alternative out there.
