yeah, i was gonna put step 5: take 5 steps back and 2 steps to the side and enjoy the view, but then that wasn't part of the "installation" so i omitted it...

so when you guys talk like its a cheaper wheel, how much do they go for? compared to Volks or ???

Step 6: Watch your wheel pass you because you
snapped the lugs/hub going into turn six at 95MPG!!!



I like ADR for the look and price. But, I wouldn't add spacers
unless I had to...in order to clear my big brake upgrade.

I don't like the idea of spacers myself, I'll stay away....

Are cheap wheels (like the ADR) susceptable to failure at high speeds or high stress?

N74DV

no..... I've had mine at 140+ with spacers without problems.

The key is to use quality spacers made from forged 7075 aluminum with their own studs pressed into them... they weren't cheap but they are worth it.

Many people don't know that Nascars and NHRA Drag cars sometimes run spacers.... you don't se their wheels flying off.

You can't make a blanket statement saying spacers will cause failures... that is an uneducated statement... there are too many other variables that determine if a spacer is safe or not.

N74DV,

Is it hard to make the center caps out of the Z badge?
I just got my ADR M-sports..but 2 fell off when I was driving..but I didn't like them anyways. LOVE the mucho lip on them tho.

N74DV

not hard at all.... just machine down the face of the ADR caps so they are flat and then bond the Z badges to them with some 2 hour epoxy.
