Default ADR Rims - How good quality are they?

I see a lot of ADR rims coming out now, seen a few cars with them. Personally at first I thought they were a rip off the Volks designs, but figured they are still nice, and am considering buying a set..

Question is, they are $1200 for 19's ... makes me doubt the quality big time. Does the finish wear off? Or how well is the quality?

I'll let you know - I bought a set of 18"x8.5" ADR's (for $600), but am still looking for tires - BTW, they're made in China (like a lot of stuff today).

Alright thanks. I'm worried that the finish will wear off over some time.

Maybe I should just remove the ADR centercap and stick on some VR ones ... no one will know!

wrong forum you should know better than that.

I don't think any body on this forum has bent the wheels yet, but there are several people who has this on.

I've had mine for a few months now..... no quality issues as of yet.... plus the my M-Sports in 19x8.5 & 19.9.5 with tires are lighter than my stock wheels/tires.

A good wheel for the price.

I removed my ADR centercap and replaced it with Z side badges

Chris:

ADR Sterlings - (Ebay #2426696404) - Auction states $98 for shipping, but he agreed to $59 if I did the BIN (Buy-it-Now) for $598. ShaqMagic also has a set of these same rims on his Sunset, which he purchased from a guy in NY. There's also a dealer in SF on ebay selling ADR's, but their prices are a little higher.
