hey is ADR rims any good? anybody using it

Nova_Dust

Good as in quality? Any wheel will hold up fine under normal driving conditions.

someone was saying they are like 20lb each (rim only) that's kinda heavy isn't...

stuffs like flaking, discolouration of teh clear clost...

i just happend to saw this one too

imported_xplizitremix

well if your just cruising with them then they'll be fine
if your worried about weight then i woudln't suggest them at all.

mostly will be used on daily drivings, and going throught the famous product of toronto `pot holes` and ` bumps`

well...weight would be dependent on the size of the rim...so 15s would be lighter than 17s for sure.

the enkeis are a much better choice imo.

Ive had a set of sukudo's, good rims, nothing wrong with the like fading, flaking etc. but as or weight as mentioned above...obviously the are more "show than go" in that sense.

PS the black w/ lip look really nice

both those rims are ugly. just my opinion. (actually the sokudo looked good on NoSpleeny's 7th gen sedan)

I had ADR Spyders back in 2000, the clearcoat peeled off the polished lip (which happens on all polished lips anyways), but otherwise the rims seemed durable enough. Mine were 17 lbs for a 17 inch wheel.

Enkei wheels, same will happen, clearcoat peeled off the lip on my buddy's Enkeis after about a year.

17lb for just a rim seems a lot still..
and isn't enkei made by japan? shouldn't it better then the ADR

i'm thinking to go with 18" but the guy at the shop told me to get 17s instead, size really matters huh.. ha...
also i was told that you can jump upto 2" without problems (16 stock to 18s) for 19s you might looking to bend your fenders i guess that's pretty right too..

any other opinion?

Enkei's are very under-rated in North America. There is a reason they have the only iso9000 certified plant in the WORLD. They also put a lot of R&D into their wheels, and go to extreme measures to make sure everything is perfect. They even have a whole water filtration facility to ensure there are no impurities in the water they use to make their wheels.

Another brand to check out, if your interested in quality, is AME. AME is a sister brand of Endless/Zeal, but manufactured in the Enkei plants to ensure top notch quality.

where is the Avril lover anyways?



I have Enkei's, BE NICE!

imported_heatwavewo

rjngo

^ i would guess research and development

imported_heatwavewo

imported_2join performance

Yeah, R&D = Research and Development. Sorry about that.

What does ISO9000 mean? I've also seen "banners" on some industrial buildings indicating ISO##### as well.

living under a rock i see?? lol

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iso_9000

check it out... ISO - International Standards Organization or something like that...

SilverSiG posted a great link for info on the ISO. As you can see, being ISO certified is not an easy task, and being certified implies a great deal about the quality of your product.

Enkei also manufactures a ton of OEM wheels, and those as you are probably aware, have very stringent specifications because OEM wheels are meant to last.

It's no wonder there are only two real groups of wheels coming out of Japan. Enkei/AME vs. Rays/Volks.

Thanks for the link, very informative.

And yes it was/is a very comfortable rock
