if you love speed and if you love to race... it's heavy...
if you love speed and you dont care about racing... if you love the rims ... it's not heavy[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

if you have square rims, then you wont be able to drive it...

I find ADRs to be a rip. They aren't value priced like Motegis, or other entry level rims........... yet they charge high end prices. I've seen Enkei and Konigs cost less...

Considering ADRs are mostly knockoffs, it's a shame about the price.

Yeah, knockoffs mean copycats.. doesn't mean bad quality, but definitely not the "real" thing. Think rotas to spoons, etc...

$1200 for ADRs? That's excellent price! I'm sure the prices of their line ups vary, but some of the ADRs that I wanted, the were asking for close to $2000 with tires. Which was the same price they were asking for most "better" brands, like Enkei & Konig. That's why I said hell with ADR and went with Motegi ($1500, taxes in, rubber, installed, hardware).

I meant Rota has a model that is knockoff of Spoons... but Rota is not a bad quality either, despite it being a knockoff.

No man, Motegis are major knockoffs...

Hey nothing wrong with knockoffs. I think people have too much money to spend when they drop HUGE chucks of money on big name rims.. unless you got a really high end car, I don't see the need for high end rims. Generally you get what you pay for, but how much are you willing to pay for namebrand rims? or to save that 2lb?

I've seen this one guy with a 5th Gen Civic, with a set of 18" 3-piece BBS rims, wrapped in top of the line BF Goodridge tires... retail they must go for more than $6,000.. prolly worth more than his car!!
