They look real nice, and the the polished lip looks great against the black. This is going on an FD, right? Who makes the wheel?

I think they are a good wheel, especially if the price is right. Those wheels will look sweet on your silver FD!

hey,

you should verify that these wheels are under 19lbs if you're paying a good amount for them. stern wheels and ADR are distributed under the same company, and both are similarly priced - meaning they'll probably be from the same manufacturer, and thus same WEIGHT.

for that size & weight, people are paying a huge premium for japanese wheels like work, volk, etc... so just wanted to give you a heads up incase you were expecting light as a feather wheels in that size.

in any case, cant wait to see how your car looks with it! our next meet, we'll have 3 silver FDs with black/polished wheels & 99spec

Make sure the offsets are correct before you waste your money!

Those remind me of ADR Msports in black. Most likely it's a +35 front and rear, since most of those copy rims are around there. That's gonna be pretty tight.

And they don't look that "deep" to me either haha.

+32 in the front is not going to be good at 8.5". Stock is 8" at +50.

Yeah I dont think the fronts are gonna fit. The back's will fit, but be warned about rubbing since +35 is gonna be pretty tight fit for that too.

Yes I'm pretty sure they won't fit in the front.

I'm using 17x8 +35 in the front and that's pretty flush as it is.

Dont waste your money on improperly sized wheels. Doesnt matter how good of a deal it is if they arent fitted correctly. You may be able to get away with it, but you wont be able to run any larger than a 225, and you wont be able lower the car any, and you still may have issues under heavy cornering. Those sizes and offsets are more suited toward an FC.

Like a 40 would be ok. One of my friends ran a 18x8.5/9.5 on +40's all around.

If you REALLLYYYY want those other wheels, you could possibly fit them using like a 225 on the front, with pulled fenders, with no lowering etc.. I wouldn't recommend that though.. just get proper fitting wheels to begin with..
