ADR wheels quality?

[Leviathan]

I'm looking for buy some ADR Stagerred wheels (18x8.5 & 18x9.5 ET35) but since this brand is not avalaible here, i'd like to have some feedbacks if some of you guys use them.

the wheels cost 399$ and i'll have to pay 340$ for the shipping...and of course, taxes and duty. the final price will be kinda expensive so i don't want to buy crap.

the other alternative for me is to buy "BBS Formula" witch are 17x8 all round for 399€ and 80€ shipping from germany (total would be like 680$)


let me know if the ADR worth the money or not



here are the ADR:

I had some ADR's on my RSX and I loved them for the price.

but he's going to be paying out the damn nose with the shipping and duties...

I'd try and find something more local...

BBS are good wheels

 

[AF1JZ]

That really isn't that bad of a price for 18'' staggard wheels.

I'd try and find something more local...

the problem is that we have nothing here. all the shops sell rims for euro car with 100 or 120 pattern.

the shops are focused on selling tuning (ricer) parts. and the very few shops selling parts for the japanese cars (almost unknow here) are incredibly expensive (ex: SSQV kit for MA70 = 450€ / ~640$)

i've no other choice than import my parts. rims or performance parts...even usual OEM


owning a Sup in france is a real PITA

I've heard the clearcoating on ADR's peels off after one year, and seen it myself on a friends Talon. Saw a post on SF about a rim breaking, but not too sure how common that is.

When I had mine, the paint never chipped off or break the wheel. They cleaned up nicely.

i just got those wheels. they are beautiful. but i only had to pay 160 for the shipping.

as far as the paint chipping goes i have no idea as the have only been on the car three days.

p.s. i had to search for 2 years before i found a decent black 5 star that was 9.5 wide in the back. (for the price)

ADR's look like a copy of my wheel.
