hey guys, how are the ADR rims in terms of quality?

Also with the following specs will they fit nicely within the wheel well?

SIZE: 18 x 8.5

LUG PATTERN: 5 x 114.3

OFFSET: 35

thanks!

 

I had Sokudo's in the past for a Protege5 I had... it was a nice looking wheel, but the paint chipped pretty easily...but considering the quality of our 18's, it's probably not
too much worse.

If your car is a coupe, the specs you show should work just fine. make
sure the center hub is 66.1mm (or get hubcentric rings to match). any
picts of the one you're looking at?

edit: btw, here's the Pro5 I had with ADR wheels...

 

Do a search. This question has been asked before.

 

Why ADR when your username is JDMSkyline? Why not some Volks or Works or Enkeis or SSR? Just a curious observation...

 

they are cheap dont put them on your G. Low Quality

 

I tend to agree with this statement...

 

I have seen M-Sports on a Z in person and thought they looked pretty good. They will not clear Brembos and if you have a coupe they will be tucked under the wheel well. Also, you would be better off running a staggered set-up with 8.5" front/9.5" rear. I am not that familiar with sedan offsets, but I think it is rather aggressive and might rub. You really need to label threads like this so people know if your talking about a coupe or sedan. Either way, it doesn't really look like a good fit.

 

From what I recall, these are made in taiwan.........not comparable to some of the wheels from japan & europe

 

just curious, how would you suggest searching for "adr"... this damn search script ignores words as short as that.

Thanks

 

hey thanks for the help, well i was just browsing ebay and came across some cheap adr rims, gunmetal with polished lip at a really kick *** price, so thought i'll ask about the quality, don't think i would get those anyways haha thanks anyways

 

ADR and cheap in the same sentence? No Way!!!

 

i guess for some people price matters? not everyone can or is willing to drop approx. 5g's on wheels. Just a thought

 

I agree with this, but you can buy very nice 19" Volk/Racing Hart/etc. wheels for $2k. Keep in mind that tires are very expensive for 19" and bigger - plan on at least $1k for 245/35/19 and 275/35/19.

 

Does anyone know the weight of the stock 17" wheel without the tire for the 2003.5 sport package on the sedans?
The stock Bridgestone Turanaza EL42 215/55/17 is 24 lbs. I'm trying to add as little weight as possible. I'd like to add upgrade the wheel to a lighter weight 17" wheel with the Michelin Pilot A/S 235/50/17.
Adding larger wheels and tires increases weight and steals horsepower. All the mods you can add with a naturally aspirated engine will usually only bring it back to stock if you increase the weight of the wheels and tires. You will increase your cornering capability though with wider tires. I'm just looking for a compromise between width and weight.
Thanks for any help!

 

I had 20" ADR's before I got Volks, and quality was alrite. Never bent my wheel or anything, but thats because I drove very cautious. When I got enough money, I moved up to Volks beacuse of its known strenght and weight. I think you should save your money and do it right the first time. There are many "used" Volks out there in very good condition. My350z.com and even our classfieds have a few, and if you want to live by your SN "JDMSkyline" you wouldn't go with ADRs
