Default Advanti (ADR) Rims?

Advanti/ADR rims are they any good, never heard of them before????

Know someone who has 3 different sets.... 1-gunmetal w\polished lip(250.00) and the other two are silver/polished look(350.00&450.00).... Is this a good price??

Your feedback is appreciated!

With so many aftermaket wheel companys around today its hard to say who is good and who is not! However I have a friend with 20" ADR on his sedan and he has never had a problem. I dont like the way some of them look but thats not what this is about. If you dig some of thier styles go for it, just make sure the front and rear offsets are right for the widths you get the wheels in...that is key to buying wheels for our cars. With the wrong offsets the wheels will stick out and look like 17 or 18" Daytona's. ADR has been around for a couple years and I have seen plenty of people roll on them and never heard a complaint about wheels breaking or cracking, or about thier finishes fading etc. Good luck and hope this helped any.

Kind regards,
JOE

OEM offsets:

+55 front
+65 rear

And I agree that ADR has some nice looking wheels...but I would not recommend them.

But, shouldn't I be putting a 17x8 in the rear?

I have ADR wheels for my Prelude. They are the Sokudo. Nice wheels for the price. They are made in Taiwan. Except for some minor curb rash (grr) that I caused, I have had no problems so far.

My GF had a set of ADRs on her WRX. They were fine except for the finish, which chipped easily and the clearcoat flaked off the machined lip, allowing it to corrode.
