Those are bling bling, but what is this post about, did you want opinions or what?

and go with 215/45, the others are too small and WAY too big.

I say go 18's. Those are similar to the 5zigen rims, and the lip on those KILLS the size. I have seen 17's that actually look smaller than stock on car round here. 205's stock, and 235's too big fo a 7.5 inch wheel. Best size would be a 225. If you don't like my advice, don't take it.

yeah, if you are looking for opinions,I think they will look okay, you could always have someone photoshop them for you. Although your last post over there wasnt too pleasant

lol, na...I wanted opinions...There's no stickers on them so I think this post will be ok...I liked the rims but I wasn't sure which bolt pattern or size would best fit my car...

ANYWAYS, post what you want...Opinions needed...

Don't forget lighted valve stems to match the rest of your car.

i like them...i think they look a little like the stock rims on my car though, but just the spokes.

If you want 17's you're not going to be happy with them especially when for a couple hundred more you could have 18's...if not for looks, do it for name sake...what's better than saying you have 18's? well saying you have 19's is better, but that might be pushing it

They look good.

BTW: Bolt pattern is 4 x 114.3

235s would be too wide. 225s fit well.

Exactly! Everyone thinks my 18's are 17's. And they kinda do because of the lip.

Well, I dont want 18's...My ride is comfortable enough and with 18's I'm going to lose alot of that...With 17's they are still bigger then my stocks, chromed, and will ride better then the 18's...

I have already spoken to a few different people about it and the way my car sits lowered 17's is the best way to go...

oh and got rice...stfu, ty...I dont need lighted valve stem covers or whatever...Just because a have maybe 3 or 4 sets of neons doesn't mean I want everything in my car lit up like a christmas tree...

Oh and all they have is 215 so I'm probably not going to get it from wheel max...I'm going to let a local dealer I get most of my stuff from put some nice wheels on them for a few hundred more...

but bolt size is 4x114.3 correct?

Thanks for the help guys...

With that rim it looks like it probably would come with a universal pattern for both 4x114.3 & 4x100 (8 holes, not the 10 holes that are pictured above)

go w/ 18's. Also, adr's are known to bend. I've had friends go through sets of them like nothing.

I'm going to go with 17's because of the lowering of my car and the ride it has...I had three people I do business with tell me 17's would feel much better and they have actually seen my car is person...but thanks for the update on the ADR's...Didn't know that...

Check out the other rims I'm looking at...RS Limited...

Honestly, w/ the tire technology out now a days. You won't feel a difference between 17's and 18's. Esp. since you are going to go w/ a low profile 17" tire anyways. Go w/ 18's you won't regret it. They are a must. If ride quality was still as shitty as it use to be w/ going big you wouldn't see people w/ 22's and even 24's all over the place.


What suspension do you currently have?

RS Limited wheels are actually made by ADR. Ghander's right man, 18's are the way to go. If you do go with 17's, get a design like the konig verdicts. Their sub company MAXXIM makes them in chrome, and those are a bad ass wheel. They were my second choice....BTW, i have a set of ADR 18's on my car and love them. I didn't lose that much ride quality at all.
