quality of adr wheels?
just looking for some personal opinions on the quality of adr wheels, i dont know much about them and generally dont trust the manufacturers words, but rather peoples experiences. more specifically i was thinking about getting the adr demonya wheels.
I recently went with 18" ADR DV-8's in black. The casting quality is good. The paint job is not all that great - the backside of the wheel was not sprayed very well. Otherwise, I'm retty satisfied.
NE 1 Who lives in a Cold Climate ... example : ROME NY... is gonna get some bad feedback on finishes .. due to Road salt , rocks and other crap they put on the roads... just take ur Rims off durin the winter and you should have no problems with chipin
one more thing... WAX your rims... people neglect this ... you need to wax ur rims in order to project them against flyin rocks and other debis on the road. This prevents little suface scratches. and NEVER USE RIM CLEANER. NEVER. HELL I DONT EVEN USE SOAP ON MY CAR OR RIMS... straight water and a shammy! But wax is very Important..

I have the 18" ADR MASE. The paint isn't great, but it's a good quality rim. I have ran into a coupe of potholes with my 35 profile tires and the rims are still in PERFECT shape.
lol i had 35's for over a year and those things are RUBBER BANDS . LOL... def need 40's or 45's ... i have 225/45/18's on now and the ride is DEF ALOT SMOOTHER... not to mention the tires are Cheaper cause they're more common.

What's wrong with using simple green to clean the rims? That's what i use.....
Also what kind of wax should i use? Regular car wax? Any special method of waxing rims??
Sorry for going wayyyy off-topic..hehe

If you have your heart set on using a wheel cleaner/wheel brush, then stick with one that's PH-neutral. SG, imo, should only be used in your wheel wells.
