Why are rims on ebay so cheap? There is a nice set of ADR rims that caught my eye.... Should I buy?

 

no.

 

to each his own - Check the offsets and make sure they will look OK - on your car - you can use spacers if you have to - to push them out to be flush with the fenders for a nicer look if you need to.

I would recommend saving up for some nicer wheels - but if they fit your budget and you like them than that's all that really matters.

 

Yea, I thought that.. but I don't want a rim to bust into peices if I slam the brakes or go over a pothole accidentally.

 

I don't think that will happen - they're not complete crap but look more at home on cheaper sport compacts i would say rather than the G.

In my honest opinion, they don't belong on the G. There are plenty of decent deals on used wheels on this forum - I would check those out -

Nice wheels aren't cheap - lots of cheap wheels aren't nice.

Again - it comes down to your budget and what you're looking for.

 

Sh!tty wheels will bend on you. Dont waist your $$$

 

In all honesty. You buy a Wheel for quality not looks. That is why the quality companies came out with different looking wheels. Do not waste your time.

if that was the case - no one would get rid of their stock 19's.

wheels are bought for style and appearance reasons - many will look for quality when doing so, but not everyone.

The first question people always ask is, "how will these look"

 

honestly.. buy some used nicer ones w/ tires on this forum.. why? cuz tires will still cost you around 1K.. believe me u dont' want to ride on cheap tires even if you save on the rims.. so in the end it's not too different from buying a used set w/ tires on this forum, and u can at least get a quality set

 

In my experience. Tires on ebay = Yes. Wheels on ebay = No

 

Are you serious? The stock 19's are great quality. When did I ever say they are bad? I didn't. People look for a different styler from good brands(Atleast the smart people). Volk, Works, and so on. They are decent quality. Pick your wheel by price, brand(s), style.

Why would you look for a certain style but the brand is cheap with poor workmanship?

ADR is a lower end wheel maker. Looks = okay but quality = okay. Mostly that means = more weight.

But make sure you are really going to save $. How much are these wheels? $400? Now you need tires. Add another $600 for 18s. = $1100.

You can get used oem quality wheels/tires or aftermarket set for $1100

I was thinking of picking those up, then selling my stock 18's with new tires. I really love that style for rims.. Don't know if that will look good though because I got a black on black coupe, just bought smoked tail overlays and smoked side marker overlays.
