if you want to buy those rims, you should read the spec carefully.
It's 4 lugs!

I've seen some of them lying around in shops on display for "walk in buyers" and they look kind of off in person. Pictures don't really give you a good idea.

When i was doing rim research alot of people were commenting on how the ebay rims have cracked after hitting big pot holes (not uncommon in toronto). Generally they said they looked alright but were brittle.

Wasn't there a prelude running ADR rims at the track and one of the rims sheared off at the hub?

Is there a thread on here about it? Seriously questions their quality.

I think that was Rota :)

Anyways, ADR is a cheap brand to begin with. Now figure the wheels cost $270 + $200 (or more!) for shipping. That puts you up around $500. Taxes, Duties, and Brokerage will get you at your door for sure. Now, even if you are saving a tiny bit of money, thank about what can happen.

- Warped/Bent Wheel
- Scratched Wheel
- Shipping error, and you get the wrong BP or size.

If any of this happens, good luck with support. Sure they may replace the rim, but your going to ship it back!

IMHO, Buying rims on eBay is asking for a headache. Buying from TireRack or some of the big ones is a different story though.

I just bought similar rims like those from them and it should be here in 2 weeks. i'll let u noe if there any good. But also keep in mind, Canadian customs is going to tag that with a bill too.
