They are ADR Sokudos, I used to have them on my Subaru



They come in either 8 or 10 spoke designs

That's a great deal, mine were $800 something with new tires when I got mine. Black wheels look good on any color, you really can't go wrong with black.

You could search ebay, email or call adr and see if you can buy a set, or see if a wheel shop can get them.

are the wanli tires crappy? because i got them on the car today (looks fantastic..pics to come) and i have a couple of issues with them, number one is that the tires are too large and rub on the plastic in the wheel well. so i can't turn my wheels all the way or there is this awkward rubbing/grinding of the tire on the plastic. number two is the tires are absurdly loud...sounds like a ghost under my car, like woowoowoo but kind of high pitched. i can't drown out the noise and i'm wondering if its just the tires or what. i'm planning on replacing them with some lower profile tires asap so i can hopefully eliminate the rubbing and the weird noise the tires create. anyone else have similar issues with these tires or was i the only crazy enough person to buy these tires?

here's some pics of my ride with the new rims...





i put the stocks back on because of the issues i mentioned before, but the rims look sexy and i can't wait till i can afford a new (better) set of tires.

it might just be the pic (or my lack of vision after 8hrs of looking at the monitor) but arent the front tires on backwards? I thought the threads were supposed to point in the other direction?

And different tires will have different sounds. I had Nankangs on my 1st rimmed car and they were loud.

i don't know anything about tires or rims, i just know what looks good to me. i've already taken them off and put the stock wheels back on, just because i didn't like that they didn't fit under the front that well..and i didn't like the sound of the tires. to each his own. i'm gonna be trying to sell them because they are brand new, and i could definitely use the money for some new lower profile tires. but thanks for everyones help. it is definitely appreciated.
