I don't track my car or race it so I don't see the point in getting forged wheels. Some people will talk **** on here if you get them, but if you like them who cares.

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.

Here are the ADR Battle EXE on my Z..
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.

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.

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.

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.

Seems to be...
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.
