Just check the seller out in terms of how long he has been a memeber on Ebay and also check out his feedback. If you see that he has joined recently such as in January and has no feed back and not enough pics of the item you are purchasing I would be careful. Also you may want to make sure he is verified with PayPal and get as much information that you can such as a phone number where he could be reached. Also ask for more pics sent to an email outside of Ebay.

I was looking for ADR M-Sports but everyone I talked to said they were on back order. Let us know if you have any luck.

im looking at some rims on ebay...can you guys let me know if these rims would fit on my G35 etc etc??..im not very familiar with offsets, rims sizes etc...thanks!...any suggestions feedback would be great...its going on my 2004 G35 Coupe Dark Grey...the bolt pattern i know has to be 5 X 114.3 but im not sure what offsets work and dont work...and what rim/tire dimensions im looking for..i don't want to lower my car (bad experiences with it!!) so maybe a nice tire/rim combo that fills the wheel well nicely would be great

Since you are in Cowtown, you may want to check out 1010tires out of BC, as they sell ADR rims. They are reputable, prices aren't bad and free shipping in Canada.

http://www.1010tires.com

Check this thread for offset calculators:

wrong offsets for the coupe. 18" wheels with dark centers, and weak offsets like that...will look terrible on the car. I think the coupe's 18" OEM look 100 times better.

If you do decide check everything out by the seller. And ONLY PAY THROUGH PAYPAL. that way your money is covered if you do get cheated you with still be able to get your money back. DO NOT SEND aa money order, cashiers check or anything that you can't stop payment on.

I tried to order some ADR M-Sports from 1010tires.com but they said they were on back order. They were confident but not certain that they could more. They asked for a $150 non refundable deposit so I just figured I'd save myself some trouble and cancel the order. As much as I would like those rims, spring is coming and the winters will need to come off. I'm pretty much stuck buying local now.

Do a lot of research sometimes the rims your looking for have the wrong description. I got great deals by searching by size you will have to browse several pages but you will find items that people aren't watching.
