correct me if i'm wrong but i think RPM and ADR are pretty much the same company. I got RPM's and I'm very happy with them so far. I mean yea there nothing special but they look great and havent had any issues with them.

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.

damn, those r some real cheap wheels. But add shipping and other stuff, i would say about what, 600? add falken/kumho tires, thats another 500, so thats about 1100, i would rather go with TSW's 20" rims and tire package from tiresdirectonline and save some money, and get a even fatter lip. Heres the link, and Vtec just kick in yo!

oh they come with nito NT555 tires and mounting and balancing

Several members ride on ADR wheels. If you like them buy them. And NO the will not self-destruct at 10,000 miles.

wheelsdirectonline has some good prices but for the 19" rims for the rear 275/30 is a little too small..need 275/35

its not a smaller tire, just the aspect ratio is smaller. Numbers translating into 275mm wide with 30 or 35% of 275mm on the sidewall. So a 30 is a lower profile compared to a 35.

going from 245/45 18's(stock rear) to 275/30 19's will bring your tire diameter from 26.7in. to 25.5 in. which wheel make you have a larger wheel gap than stock. 275/35 19 is 26.6in. diameter. http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

I have the ADR Battle EXE wheels on my Z in 8.5/9.5 x18, in gunmetal. They look real nice, and match my silverstone well. I had issues with two different wheel shops scratching up my rims, and having to replace them. the third set I recieved, straight from golden apple corp who manufactures the ADR and Stern wheels, came defective from the factory with a bad finish. when the wheel shop and I called them to explain the problem, they said we were crazy, and cursed us out and tried to refuse a refund. Other than bad customer service from the guys who make them, I like my wheels. Check out the Battle EXE, I think they are better suited for the Z.
