Anyone have any insight/comments on ADR and Flik wheels? In particular, how well have they held up (any dents from normal driving)?

Their prices seem pretty reasonable, so I'm just cautious about their durability.

Thanks!

I've had ADR wheels in the past on my Protege5... they were durable wheels
in the respect from bending from road hazards. but, the biggest downfall was
the paint quality. The paint chipped easily and it wasn't powdercoated. Just
cheap enamel and clearcoat...

Those replica wheels looked nice and all, but I don't see myself buying those
wheels anymore unless its for a gift or something.

I could talk about weight of the wheels, but for the streets it doesn't really
matter unless comparing braking distance (or more effort on the brakes) vs
forged wheels.

Thanks for your responses. I'm thinking of going with the Flik Wasps in anthracite - a perfect match for my Dark Silver MCS (coming in June).

I realize, for many, the weight of wheels is unimportant and they view them as an esthetic enhancement. For me, it is both. With that said, what are the weights of these wheels in a 17 X 7 or 7.5? They look good, but when I get rid of my S-lites, I want a performance and beauty benefit.
