The 18x8.5 only come in 35mm offset, while the 18x7.5 comes in 48 and 43mm offsets. Some more info: the 18x7.5 are 10 hole drilled, while the 18x8.5 comes with specific 5x114.3 pattern.
The finishes that come with the wheels are: hyper black, hyper silver, and hmc silver (like chrome). There is also a titanium silver I believe, but that's limited sizes.
As for other stagger fitments, I'm not sure if the 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 will fit (both 35mm offset), and stagger in 17 are not possible since they only make 17x7.
I know this since I sell them, mostly to Z32 people, and some Z33, they get 18x8.5 and 18x9.5, some switch up to 19s.
These wheels are actually pretty good in quality, unlike other ADR stuff. I have seen the prototype before, and the back of it is stamped "Manaray." This leads me to believe that Manaray might be the manufaturer for those rims. I know for a fact that they are not manufactured by the same factory that manufactures their other wheels.
I'm not saying these are great wheels, just that they are pretty nice looking wheels, especially for the price. One warning though, they are NOT light. This is more for show, than for performance.

Right on man...thanks for the info. So I would have to run a 18x7.5 up front with a 43 offest? That doesnt sound like it would fit at all, and if it did, it would be about as sunken in as the stock wheel. I guess I need to wait for 22ann_rx7 to get back to me about how he is running these and if it is the +43 offset up front. It seems that it would make more sense to run 8.5's all around eh?

That's what I would run, 18x8.5 all the way around, but not sure if it will fit without issues or not.
My idea of a nice setup is going 8.5 wide all the way around with 245s all the way around. Nicely balanced setup this way. Although I would like to have 17s, not 18s, but ADR M-Sports don't come in that size.
As far as I know, 43mm is what they make, as for whether it fits, is questionable, I have 17x7 on mine, and offset is 35mm, clears with lots of room. 8mm is quite a bit and can make a difference on clearing the calipers.
I'm anxious to find out too.

Agreed! I love TE37's, and I am saving up for a set of Enkei RPF01, most likely in 17X8.5 if they have that, or maybe even 17x9. Of course, I will get the widened front fenders.
Like I said before, these are for show, and for the price, it's a great deal! If you're not into serious performance, where every lb counts, then there's nothing wrong with getting ADRs.
You can get a set of 18s with tires for half the price of a set of 17" Volks with tires, big difference if you don't care that much about the weight.
