If you want ADR rims like that, i would buy them from ebay. The only guy i know selling them is user "DohcCivicNA1250", he's got them with cheap "buy it now" prices and is a good guy to do business with (he stayed in good contact with me). Do an ebay search for "ADR c-pro"

ADR wheels are cheap knockoffs... I wouldnt buy cheap knockoff brands like ADR, Teno-R, Team Loco etc etc unless you don't mind bending your rims over simple things like pot holes.

SSR (Speedstar Racing www.speedstar.co.jp) has very nice rims with good quality, for very decent prices.

You might also want to check out Sebring wheels (a branch of Volk)

I might be selling mine in the future. They are hard to find old school SSR De'Colte 17's. 2 piece rim. 17x7.5 all around, riding on 235 45 17 on back, and 215 45 17 on front. G'grid tires front, Bridgestone LM rear.

I was also thinking about the adr and rs-limited rims. They are pretty sic rims but I went with Tenzo R Mean 6 in white with blue caps and I don't regret my choice.

how do you guys feel about ICON rims? i like these bronze ones too..

apparently they are made my APC

im just browsing a big catalogue right now.

i got a BAD feeling about APC products making rims..

IMO that TOP rim is the best possible black w/ polished lip ICON has to offer. pretty sad, eh? theyre ok.. i guess..

but i like the bronze ones..

any comments about A Piecea Crap's ICON rims?

Konig Rims..

im not a big fan of split 5 spokes, but they look decent..

not to mention the 17" version of this model weighs in at only 16.1 lbs.
