after my friend's experiences with exel rims, i woudlnt' get them.. they bend easier than most rims. he's not riding on shit tires or 35 or less either. i've seen drags in person, but don't know anyone that his rode on them. i'd go with the second option, or third being another set out there

i wouldn't say that he hit an excessive amount. but i was in the car once we didn't even hit a big hole or anything and the rim bent slightly on the outside face. i've hit that same one that he did with no problems at all. its possible that it happened cuz of his tire size, 205/40 compared to my 225/40's, but either way, i think i'd stay clear of exel. check out ebay, they have a bunch of adr's for sale for a really good price, assuming you already have tires or can get a good deal on tires. it'd save you on shipping if you bought them both at the same time premounted though. whatever you decide on, gl

I dont like any of those wheels. But if I had to pick one for a white car, I guess it would be the the black wheel.
