Give advice on these rims part 2.
I know it's pretty much up to me and what I like. But I like the way most of the 7's on here look and think all of you guys have great taste. So what do you guys think of these? They're 17' w/ no tires and have never been used or mounted. He wants $400. The brand is ADR. He said the offset is 45 but idk.
Sorry if this is a bother to you guys.

I dont think they will look good with that offset. 400 dollars is way too much for an extremely heavy american brand with not much style. Can you post a picture of your car so we can get a rough idea. Maybe even someone cold photoshop them in. I thought i would never reccomend sportmax but......actually i am still not going to. Poke around ebay, wheelchoice etc. for a more agressive quality brand.
At the end of your day my opinion means ****. Do not forget that. It is you that drives your car everyday and has a look you are going for.
If these adr's satisfy that. Dont get discouraged, and ofcourse purchase them.

I think suspension(spring/shock or coilovers) should always be the first upgrade on these cars, because no matter what wheels you put on, its still going to look bad at stock ride height.

I threw a couple sets of wheels on FC's before just because I needed tires and had the rims laying around... But when shopping for wheels more care should be taken..
Wheels are a big investment... Something else will pop up.

To bad I don't still live on Critz Lane. We could meet up.
He use to have big tires on it. He has a spare tire on top and a gas can and a axe when he goes off roading. lol It's normally really muddy in the summer.

Save some money, figure out what you wanna do with the car...invest in some suspension mods, then buy some wheels....but make sure the wheels compliment the car. Some people go out and find the first set of janky *** wheels they can just to get rid of the stockers and end up kicking themselves in the *** when the **** doesn't fit right because the offset is all wrong.
My advice: Save some money and get a good set of coilovers. Then invest in a proper set of wheels with GOOD quality tires and you'll be much happier in the long run.

A 30 second search within your price range, yielded... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/JDM-W...spagenameZWDVW
Even though they are 16s, they would look a little better than the adrs.
Do lots o research and you could prob. find a nice deal on some 17s like you wanted.

Yeah man i would agree with what everyone is sayin first correct the stance of the car then try an imagine what the stock BBS' would look like with a very nice set of tires.
If you can visualze what it would look like and without the pinstripe it would look real nice, clean and stock but not too much invested.

I guess from advice i'll stick with the bbs i have for now.
The thing is idk what to do about my suspension besides 1 suggestion. I looked at coil overs and they're like $1k correct? I may just have to save for a while and be patient.
Thanks guys. I hate asking too much for advice because of flamage. lol

You will get used to the flamage. Keep asking questions and you will have your flame retardant suit, before you know it. Suspension will be up to what your needs are. A street car can get away with tokico blues (hps) and racing beat springs which go for about 275.00 used.
