onepointone

i have been looking at these for a long time now, and i wanted to see what yall thought about them



im considereing them in 15x6.5 with 40mm offset, and 16x7 with 40mm offset, but will probably go with 15's because of price. i have -se suspension on a gs, so i dont think the offset would be a problem. they are supposed to be "light weight" but not sure exact what they consider lightweight. i really like the way the spokes of the rim have a bend to them, and the aluminum lip.

anyways... opinions?

very nice design. where, who, and how much?

Those are pretty sweet, i dont suppose they offer ones that fit a non-se car.

they are adr rival's. they pop up every now and then on www.groupbuycenter.com. one of the companies said they can do 16x7 in the universal 4 lug, 40mm offset, for $400 shipped. but it just includes the rims/center caps. i think thats a pretty good deal


and no, they dont make em for the non-se cars.


if your interested, e-mail sales@gtwheelz.com and tell them you are from groupbuycenter.com, they will hook you up with what i discribed.

Not bad, and the price is good too.

Thoes are sharp rims...

Now you need to GIMP (photoshop) them on to a pic of your car and get an Idea of how they will look...

FD Racer

they look like copies of enkei RP01. Did you see this thread from a while back....?

they probably still have some.....and theres nothing better than the real thing. About the same price too.

onepointone

egh, i dont like those as much, plus do they come in gunmetal? not really worth it to me to have "enkei" on the wheel if they dont have that same look

Swanky rims, you should get 'em, especially for 100 per rim, that's pretty cheap for new rims.

Check Ebay

I got my ADR rims on there new and cheap. Think I paid $250 for the whole set. There is quite a few Ebay businesses that all they do is sell rims

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43956


This set is "Buy It Now" for $275 with wheel locks and caps.

If you don't like that color combo email the seller, I bet he has anything you would want for the same price.

I have not had any problmes with my rims, but I heard the ADR have a pretty weak finish on the rims. Soo stay away from harsh cleaners, power washers, and salty roads.

Splurge for the 16's, you won't be sorry (unless they're heavy-find out their weight first).

Stoops417

WOW those are nice!

FD Racer

Yeah no gun metal....I think they have white or silver.

It's not about the enkei name...it's about quality. Those wheels originally were $250 each. ADR wheels are cheap becouse they are cheaply made (no offence to those who have them).

I like the adrs. someone should "gimp" them onto a car to show the group what they look like. Good find onepointone!

onepointone

ok, well i was holding out on everyone, i have those book marked, but im not positive im getting them right now, and i didnt want someone else to buy them from under me.. im greedy.. i know.

i dont think im going to get them this second, i still have a few things here and there to buy for my car before its running, but when it is running, these are the first addition.

Vegas84RX7

I've always like rims with a nice little lip on them...Ive been looking into getting some rims and these ones are pretty dam nice...do they have them in 17's?

BrianHeston

I had some very similar rims on my '93 Talon. They were Modern brand. The finish was very durable, and they had the same curve and lip that you like, except the lip wasn't shiny aluminum, it was all one color. They weren't exactly gunmetal, but they were a greyish tone.

You can kinda see them in this pic. It's the only one I have. My Ex-Wife now has the car in AZ.

you NEED those rims. Get them in 16", you'll regret it later.

can you post some pics of the car???

Smitch

yeah there not bad. Silver would look heaps good not sure of the price tho, im from Australia so I carnt really tell.

Eville140

I like my 15's alot. You can get really good performance tires for them dirt cheap. Unless you go with an all out racing slick type tire you are pretty much stuck with normal raod tires for the 16". With the 15's you a much better choice.
Main reason I went with the 15's was that Falken made Azenis Sports that where the right size. Sticky as heck, and drop the pressure a little bit and you have a halfway decent sidewall to help you get off the line. Air them up and head to the autox.
That and they are about $75 each

you can buy ANY tire, from road tire to racing tire in the 16" size.

the correct tire size is:

205/45/16

MosesX605

16's will look the best, but 15's give you a wide tire selection and all things being equal, they'll be lighter.

Sooo, it's a trade off.

Myself, I'm thinking of getting some 13x7 or 8 rims from www.diamondracing.com , they may not be pretty but they get the job done.
