ADR wheels?
Anybody know anything about this brand? ADR?
I was looking at these, since nobody is stepping up to make bigger GTA crosslace wheels, and Fikse are outta my budget.

Re: ADR wheels?
Never mind....I found ASAs cheaper, and from a reputable store, not some unknown web supplier.

Re: ADR wheels?
I'll have some ADRs eventually, but I'll look into those ASAs...
The bolt spacing is different by some fraction of a milimeter I think... but from what I understand it's close enough.

----------
22.9 lbs. Not too bad, going up 2" x 1" (16" x 8" to a 18" x 9") and gaining 8 lbs. I just wish they came on a gold face. I might go with silvers, and just get the centers painted gold.
I'd like 9.5" or 10", for the rear, but I can settle on 9", to keep the semi-crosslace look. Watch....I'll get them, then some manufacturer will step up with a true crosslace design!

Re: ADR wheels?
Why is the recommended size 245, for these 9" wide wheels, when my stock 8" had 245?
One main point of getting wider wheels, would be to be able to get wider tires, like a 275-315.BUT, if my GTA center caps can't fit, or I get something real close, all bets are off. Even if I had to buy the center emblem decals separately, them put them on these wheels center caps, I'm OK with that.

Re: ADR wheels?
I can't decide on getting ASA 18x9 black ones, or getting silver ones, and painting the centers gold. I'm leaning towards going gold. Just hafta find out how much to have them painted.

Re: ADR wheels?
Whatever you go with..paint them gold. Im looking at the asas because they are a lot cheaper than the FM10s. I think I might just put them on the card ikd lol. eather way if I get the FM10s they will be painted gold also...And you can fit a 275 on a 9 in with no prob. It will bulge a little but look tuff. One more thing..yes as soon as we all go buy some someone will make a wheel for a good price

Re: ADR wheels?
BFG used to make a nice 275, that I had on my 92 RS, on the stock 16"x8" wheels. Bulge looked tough. I know a guy, right now, running the BFG 295/50s on his stock 16"x8" wheels.
I might just sell one of my crosslace sets, to help fund buying the ASAs.

Re: ADR wheels?
ive got a set of ADRs. I called the online warehouse and talked to the guys and without bargaining I ended up coming away with a set of 19x9.5s (rears) and 18x8.5s (fronts) for the price of a full set of 18s which was like $835. It was a long time ago, but I think after shipping i paid right around $900 which is pretty cheap compared to most anything in that style and size wheel.
Yes, the bolt pattern is 5x120 and yes they will fit just fine. Just make sure whoever puts them on torques them properly and then drive a few miles and have them retorqued. I have driven them from lubbock to houston 1000 mile round trip with no problems.
They look amazing and everyone says they are the biggest thing that sets my car off. I also dont remember them being all that heavy. Good luck, ltr.

Re: ADR wheels?
Well, my $is going towards a new fiberglass hood, so whee; selection is off for now.
Who knows? Maybe a maker will step up with a true 3rd gen crosslace, like the Year One 2nd gens ones, but for a reasonable price. At $500 each, I consider the Year One ones too high priced. Besides that, I want 18s, not 17s, for a better tire selection.
