I think they look pretty decent. Don't know anything about ADR...but I dont think I have ever heard anything negative about them.

Not a bad set of wheels. Ive seen quite a few Z's that had/have these. The only thing is the offset in the rear. Maybe some spacers together with the wheel purchase?

what up okie.
those are pretty sexy!
ADR is just known to be on the really cheap end of wheels but people still buy them and they still look just as good as 2 grand wheels sometimes.

Don't do it. The wheel width and offset combination makes these a really bad choice.

8.5 +35 / 9.5 +35

Spacers would make them a better fit, but you would be better off getting the propper offset then the lip would be much wider.

But if you want to make it work with spacers. It could be done.

$900 total + 1k for tires = $1900

Better to wait for some nice used wheels IMO.

You would need a 15mm spacer in the back, and a 15mm in the front to get it nice and flush.

3" is my FRONT lip. My rear lip is 5.25" so no...3" is not decent unfortunately. Those offsets and widths are horrifying as well. Most people are now running 9.5 front 10.5 rear. I'm running a 19x11 rear with a +17 offset!

Real man have real offsets! Join the Low Offsets Club!

I'm 21 and in college Just go eat instant noodles for a while bro or you can do what I did and just buy a nice set and keep switching them until you have enough for the perfect set. Previous to this set I have had 11 other sets. Takes time but it's worth it - this set was the only one I paid retail for because of my limited budget.

im not a big lip guy... looks so "ghetto" id be happy with a 3" lip.
im actually trying to get something like work emotion cr kai with NO lip.
dont need too much bling bling. also you can get 4 tires for like 700-800 bucks. falken or toyo tires. my favorite tire companies....


(but.. id try searching on wheel websites like wheelsnext.com, wheelfire.com, edgeracing.com and see if you can get tires and rims together, mounted, balanced, all good to go (sometimes with free shipping too) and usually its cheaper than buying everything separately...)

I'd go to the vendors on our forum before going to other people. I have had the BEST experience with RICK @ Status (pm his forum name is status) He can get any wheels any brand any tire size for the best price!
