Stern and ADR are the same...in fact, the sterns are stamped ADR on the back. I originally bought these so I could have wider OEM looking wheels. Little did I know about weight.

These come in 19s and 20s.

all you guys that keep mentioning how heavy they are... what is wrong with you? No one cares about weight... if the OP wanted to know what you thought about the wheels' weight, he would have asked how much they weigh...

99.7% of all G owners dont care about weight...

Why are the .3% always the ones in these threads

The whole appeal about Stern was the wheels were originally made in Japan. Since then, production has moved to Taiwan, and now they're being produced in the same factory in China as the company's ADR wheels so they have the same stamp.

They are manufactured the same, and the finishes are the same. But yet Stern wheels cost about $1000, while ADR can barely sell for half that price.

IMO, if you only care about looks, get them. If you care about value and quality, don't.
