Wheeeels..

[Phya]

I've been searching and came to the conclusion that ADR and RSL Wheels are not all that much lighter than stock and am under the impression that they are not that durable either.
(Correct me if I'm wrong.)

But I am also under a tight budget and I found a deal for a set of RSL Elite's goin for $350. That's 4 wheels, not 1. To me, that's a really good deal, but at the same time I don't want to buy something that's going to crack on me. I don't mind as much about weight as long it isn't heavier than stock, but it has to be fairly durable (I'm not talking about offroading here folks, or even heavy duty racing, I'm talkin mostly streets, and pushin the car every now and then on highways and such, as well as maybe some *light* track use.

What do you all think? (About ADR and RSL in general, not specifically the Elites.)

Oh and if you feel like it, I was also considering some ADR Soduko 10s for the same price.
Going onto a 95 Eagle Talon, what you think?

Also, I've been reading that 18s *will* require rolling fenders. True?

Thanks, Phya

I am a proud owner of 18' Adr Spades! Got em for 400 w/ tires. I cant afford Volk, Axis, or Racinghart so I got something that looks good and was affordable. My fenders are not rolled so that answers that question. I have had my wheels for half a year now and Im very happy. I say go for it, $350 is nothing for wheels and Im happy with mine. I got 18x7.5 wheels with 225/40/18 tires.

 

[Phya]

Where did you get them from?

Where did you get them from?

wheelsplanet.com hooked me up. And I got the tires on ebay for 150!

 

[Turbo_Frog]

Tires are Falken Ziex, I love em.

 

[Phya]

Woaah, how the hell did you get 4 wheels for 250?!

 

[Turbo_Frog]

Lets just say I was supposed to recieve silver and got gunmetal instead. Your getting 4 wheels for $350 so Its not like I got a whole lot better deal than you.

 

[Phya]

Heh, I know, but still, was just curious.

Any thoughts on which you'd choose? I'd like a gunmetal/hyper black but they don't have the elites in those colors, only silver..It's either that or goin up to 18s..but I'm not completely sure I want to do that.

Yes you do! 18's look so much better. I couldnt imagine rollin 17's, (not to put down anyone who does.) but if I could afford 19's I would get em. I just think 18's look that much more amazing than 17's. Its like a turbo swap in sense. Dont get the Evo 16g if you are going to upgrade to a 50 trim 6 months later. I would just hate to get 17's and later wish I would have gone bigger. Just get 18" Elites and have them powdercoated black or gunmetal like you want and leave the lip silver. It would look great man.
