A curbed wheel can be ruined no matter what you spend on it. Untill we see the OPs choice of rims crap out from agressive driving, he is doing the right thing.
I think the stocks are sturdy, we have seen them fail on rare occasion, is spending 800 bucks each on a rim going to prevent that?
3,200 bucks sitting on the outside of your car for all the world to see with no way to really secure them isn't much more than pissing your money away.

So there you go, I didn't see a bunch of "My 99 cent rims cracked" threads.
I think the OP is better off going with what he saw and getting rid of the obviously dangerous stock rims.

axis shines havent cracked mine yet. Plus i think the hiros are ugly anyways. The only way i can see mine cracking is if i hit a curb head on or something. Then i would understand it breaking. just get a decent quality wheel most of the time they arent gonna crack driving down the street. Hit a 2 foot deep pothole possibly or a curb maybe. But normal everyday driving not too often. ADR though are ugly by the time you pay 130 for rears and 130 for front spacers/ estimating. Your looking at close to 1900 dollars with your tires added of course, and you need spacers or those will look stupid imo.. I got my axis shines with tires for around 2k. Just my opinion, i actually thought about those same wheels because they were cheap. Oh and dont buy them off ebay through UAP that guy sucks teh cacksorz.

I will never understand why someone would by a $30k sports car and put some of the cheapest wheels they can find on it. You make some valid points on rim purchase, but only for someone who is buying an economical family sedan. Do you forget you are driving a 350Z? If you aren't willing to put up the money for good rims, than why would you "****" so much money away buying the car itself. The OP will probably want to upgrade later on when he sees for himself how much better The quality rims look. In the long run he will save himself by spending a little more now Vs buying another set of wheels later.
How many people here paid 30k?
You can get them for 17 all day long.
Most people here likely paid less than 25k. Should you throw on wheels worth 15% of the price you paid for the car?
Volk rims look better? Better than what, the million other 5 spoke cookie cutters out there? If they came stock on our car there would be many more people going for aftermarket rims.
The only rims I really love are 3,800 bucks. There is zero chance I will spend that kind of money on rims for a Z. (BTW, that would be 7 months of car payments and some left over for gas.)

You've made your opinion quite clear regarding wheels. I question why you are even on these forums at all. This site is primarily for auto enthusiasts who want to upgrade their Zs and share with others what they have done and help others with upgrading. Your intent is to preach to us how we do nothing but waste money on wothless upgrades like volks and should keep our cars stock so we can put more money towards car payments and gas.
"The only rims I really love are 3,800 bucks. There is zero chance I will spend that kind of money on rims for a Z". This quote even further solidifies the fact that you shouldn't be here giving anyone advice. To good for the Z? What car would you spend that kind of money on? Maybe you should frequent that car's forums.

It's like a club, and if everyone doesn't join it you all get your ****** hurt over it.
The OP is the one who started getting preached to, not on the basis of the rims themselves, but on how he should get the same 2 the "cool kids" have.
So maybe the only advice YOU are fit to give is what you were told is cool before you followed it?
There are no "my ADR rims cracked" threads on here, nor other similar low priced rims for that matter.
Stock, Axis and a Volk were all that are listed on this site thus far.
All of you saying the ADR will crack, where is your post showing where yours cracked?
I haven't seen any reasonable proof that his wheels won't be just as good as the other brands. I have seen proof that people are paying a lot for a sticker.

Did your ADR rims crack? Why do you think his will?

Picks? because I see a ton of ADR users on this sight and no one had made a thread about ADR failure.
I can't belive you didn't show us your pics before to try to protect the Z community.

Look ADR's are fine. Who cares what other people think. my BF is running ADR's on his Z and he gets nothing but compliments. He bought the wheels because he runs the gap (us-129) almost everyday. He knew he would scratch them to hell or do other damage to them. He can replace his whole set for the price of one or two volks.
