Question ADR Wheels/Rims any good?

Im in the market of buying some after market wheels/rims for my 4 lug ep3. I was going to buy the 17" Rota Torques but a friend can get me a cheaper deal on 17" ADR Wheels/Rims. I would say about any where from $75-200 less for the set depending on the wheel. Are ADR Wheels/Rims any good? Especially compared to the Rota Torques Im thinking about getting. Or am I better off buying Rota Torques over any of the ADR wheels/rims? Thanks in advance for your time and help.

First wheels ever put on my Vic was ADR's! I loved em! But one day I drove over a rock and the rim actually split in half! It was a trip! And due to the fact that the particular wheel was discontinued I couldnt find another one. Even ADR told me I was *** out! Love ADR, but had bad experience with em.
