Question ADR M-Sport Wheels

For those Z ownerswith these wheels, how do you like them? Are they lightweight, and how's the quality. Where's the best place to buy them? BTW, I live in the Los Angeles area.

don't buy them retail, that's for sure.

always buy online, unless the retailer price matches, which is doubtful.

Ive had them for about a month now. Still loving it. For the price and lip...its a bargain.Even though im not sure about the quality of the paint coat or is it just these damn construction on my way to work....I have gotten lil scratches that went past the clear coat. I ran over some crazy pot holes and so far,,,not bent yet. The quality is good and I like the paint it came with.Better than the Tenzos and other cheaper rims. I got Hyperblack..I think its the best color for this wheel.

I would try Ebay cause there is one seller that has alot of them.

I've had mine for about 8 months now. I believe I was one of the first to put them on a Z.

I LOVE them. I have them in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 with 245's and 285's.

They are about the same weight as my stock 17's. They are lighter than you'd think for a cast wheel.

I've hit some nasty pot holes and have never bent a rim.

The one thing I did have to do was run spacers because the offset was a little too large for me..... but spacers are not needed.

Falkens - they are a great tire for the price. But not the best if your looking for performance.

I'll probably buy them again.

Here are mine in 18" ... click the link, since the pics are huge!

http://www.sonic.net/~danm/Z/101703/

I went with 18" instead of 19", because I needed more tire sidewall, the way these roads are here. I love em, and for the price, they can't be beat in my mind.

Well, I have one question. The wheel gap with the stock 17" setup is near NONE. With this setup your gap seems to have increased. Is this the case, or should I go back outside and have another look at my 17's?

Default I should probably chime in...

I bought these wheels thanks to N74DV!

They are absolutely sick.. I love them!! Had them for like 4-5 months now, bought them off eBay for like $1100! My tires are Dunlop Sport 9000, 275/35/19 and 245/35/19..

Big props to N74DV: I sent him my old centercaps and 4 "Z" logo caps, and he did the same thing for me that he did for his own Z, without charging me a penny. Great guy!!

Here are a few pics..
