Trying to Decide on New Rims...

Does anyone have (or have you seen) these rims on a G? (see attachment). They're the ADR M-Sport.

They are 19x8.5 in the front & 19x9.5 in the rear with 35mm offset on both (I would get a 10mm spacer for the front & 5mm spacer for the rear to make the offsets 25mm front & 30mm rear). They weight 26 lbs/each - is that a lot for a 19" rim? How much do the stock 18" rims weigh?

Stock 18s weight 24.5. Also, wider 19" tires will weigh more than the light 18" pilot sports.

I've been looking at these for a sedan in 18x8.5 and 18x9.5. Also been looking at feedback for these?

If you're looking at the ADR M-Sports, may I suggest a set of Sterns instead?
Made by the same company (Golden Apple), quality and finish is better and they look nicer altogether too... The ST7 look similar to the M-Sport, but imo, the ST1 looks nicest. ST8 is pretty clean too...

Thanks for the input. Are the ADR or Stern rims pretty decent quality or not? They are very well priced - under $1,000 (shipped) for a set of 4 19" wheels - but I don't want to save money just to buy something that is going to peel or lose it's finish over time. And I realize they may be a bit heavier than stock, but that's not too big of a deal to me because I don't race or anything like that, I just like to speed around town. Does anyone have any other feedback from experience on the quality/durability of the ADR or Stern rims?

By the way, here's what I have on my car right now. They are NS Racing F220's, and they're 18x8 with 245/40 in the front and 18x9 with 275/40 in the rear. What do you guys think about these? I've only have them for a few months, but I just don't know how crazy I am about them.... The big lip makes the actual spokes of the rim look more like 17" instead of 18", so it makes me wish I had gone with the 19" wheels instead. Any opinions?

I'm thinking about getting a set of 19x8.5 stern st-7 in chrome or ADR M-sport in hyper black. ADR has been around for a while and they are pretty good quality wheels, a little heavier than stock but that comes with the territory when you go from 18's to 19's. Stern used to be around back in the day and now they're coming back. There not forged so there not as strong and are gonna bend if you hit a pot hole but they arent the worst wheels made. I think they're a good wheel for the price.
