Hey Guys, Does anyone have a picture with a set of ADR Spades (silver preferred) on their MCS in 17" or 18" I think these wheels would look hot! I had some Volk Racing GTC's on my previous car, which the ADR's seem t be a copy of, and loved them but they are big $$$$. Here's a pic of the rim. Maybe photoshop skills even?

 

what the hell's your problem? you got OZ's and you've been
looking at cheepo crap wheels (ok again for those owners) the
last several days.

what do you not like about those OZ's?

 

LOL yeah when it comes to wheels I really like the five star, and like I mentioned in the thread I loved the look of the Volk GTC, I DO like the OZ's but they are a bit of a pain to clean, and I'm considering going to 17"s for s softer ride. I'd really like to see what a Mini looks like with these wheels.

BTW I picked up a set of PIAA 520's the other day!

 

nice job on the 520's. i think you'll like them.

btw, i had a set of SportsEdition 5 spoke wheels back in the days
when i was using my MCS as a commuter (like the first 2months of
ownership). this is on factory height 16" not bad, imo.

The wheels themselves were high quality, nice durable paint and OE
finish. i sold them as i got a set of Comps later on.



man, this is an old pict!



obviously the Comps look 10x better and 1/2 the weight...but they cost more too...

 

Well it's all personal taste but to me those sprtsedition 5 spoke look fantastic! and thanks on the 520's it was the look of them on your Mini size wise and the fact I wanted chrome back that help me decide to go with those. thanks again and thanks for the wheel pics

 

Enkei makes one that is comparable:



Discount Tire - 17x 7 42mm offset $143 USD each
18x7.5 42mm offset $173 USD each

If you decide to sell your OZ's, I'd be interested!

 

Np! You can get those for like 800 with tires! Its a better choice imo than flaky paint ADR's.

 

Thanks! Nice find I like those better!!! Less studs to clean! Yeah, I've had a few requests for the OZ's, funny I checked Dicsount tire and found those Enkei DM5's for only $96 per wheel in 17".

Are they better quality than the ADR's? Kenchan?

 

Enkei is better quality than ADR's. i can say this from experience.

ADR wheels use cheap paint. they look nice until you use it on a
daily basis. they chip and flake off.

Enkei is much higher quality...remember too that Enkei makes a lot
of wheels for OEM so they know what customers are looking for in
terms of durability. just make certain that you inspect the
paint before you buy... im sure America's Tire (DiscountTires) can
get a wheel or two instock for you to check out at their stores.

 

That is a nice looking wheel!
Any idea how much those Enkei's weigh? I looked on discount tires, but I can't seem to find the specs on the weight, etc. I may go with those in 17" with Kumho SPT 215/40-17s. What will be the difference in the ride quality if I am switiching from stock 16" run flats? Opinions???
