nice buy 48 offset is a bit much. I got adr sz1 on ebay with a +40. Got em for 330 shipped. You got a good price too. I like the rims u got except for the offset.


ADR is OK. For the price its great. Jus don be runnnin potholes at all, for the price seem like they may crack easily.

 

that should look pretty good. I had been look at ADR wheels extensively before I found the rims that i eventually bought. they have a bunch of designs that look awesome. you'll be happy with them

 

what does the offset mean? and what is the stock offset?

 

stock is 45 and offset is how much the wheel pushes outside the fender.

 

This explains it a little better...

I have +35 offset on mine and they almost look flush.

 

That's a good deal.. I love ebay sometimes.

 

if it sits too far in, you can put on a small spacer to push them out a bit.

 

nnnnnoooooooo i was thinking of buying those damm! ........am so mad they look very nice when you get them post same picture

 

Its the other way around. When you buy 48, it means it goes 3mm more inside the fender (not out). Correct me if I am wrong. You should have bought 35 or 40. It would look better.

 

They will be great rims for shows, but don't do any serious racing unless you have another set as backup!

 

I bought ADR, the gold ones. You can check it out on my profile. I think they look good and they are darn cheap. I bought mine for 250 shipped! yee haw.

 

well from my interpretation of the offset, the pictures of the rims seem to look just fine w/ a 48 offset, and it doesnt change the size of the rim and how far out/in it will be from the fender...from what im understanding the offset is where the spokes sit in alignment w/ the rim - and if you look a 48 offset seems to almost be flush w/ the lip so im fine w/ that...not to mention the stock rims offset is a 45 so i think 3mm either way is NOT gonna be that much of a differnece as far as appearance goes



and why would i not be able to race on these? i think these rims would be just as sturdy and durable as any other aside from curbing or hitting some serious potholes

 

its gonna be 3 mm more to the inside JOker. he just meant that ADR rims will be heavier than expensive ones. Keeping it 17" and 3 mm more to the inside probably wont affect anything. I will be worried if it was 18" and your car is dropped. Might scrape when you do a U turn... Not certain though.

 

If I was buying rims I wouldn't have bought 17's.
I personally don't think those look that great, but its just my crappy opinion

 

well if you're gonna race you dont want HUGE rims - so 17 is sufficient for me
and im not all about flashy rims but gunnmetal goes good w/ my color and im not droppin 1200+ just for rims so i think these will do just fine

 

and my car is already dropped so i dont think i want to push it w/ 18s and some low profile tires cause houston has some rough roads

 

I think those wheels look hot especially for how much you paid for it.

 

i wouldve went bigger.

 

Not everbody wants to go bigger, for me im staying with 17's also. Im staying with them for their lightness.

IMO, They look nice. Good buy man.
