Sorry to start a new thread... I'm sure this brand has been discussed before... But you can't search for ADR because its too short... so ne way

Has ne one had experience with ADR wheels? For example:

 

You and I will probably get flamed for this, but I actually have them and I am pretty happy so far. I would like something nicer, but I don't have a ton of money for it. The only thing I am worried about is having them get bent from potholes or something. If I could buy rims again I would get the axis mod sevens...noice.

 

yea... thats why I'm thinkin about going with them... I have probably the least amount of money possible to still be able to work on my car sorta... I mean they look good... better than stock... and do they seem like they are gonna get bent from potholes? that unsturdly built?

 

They seem fine to me, but I know they were cheap, and I just pay more attention to the holes. I look at my rims every once in a while, and they don't look dented or anything.

 

sweet... thanks

 

I think your swell too.

 

hahahahaha that just made my day well night...

 

Several people have had ADR's on here, but they're not super popular because they are cheap and generic, those rims you posted above are phat though

 

i have ADR's and they are pretty good for me. just gotta be more aware of the potholes but that is prob with all rims since you are gonna have thinner rubber.

 

adr is one of the better "knockoff" wheel companies

 

be careful, they do bend easy.

 

They do bend easy though, but so do most all aluminum wheels

 

Cool... So what that makes them on a scale of 1-10 a 6ish?


I only choose the best... haha except the blue strut bar...

damn... oh well?

 

205/40/17 - 23.5" diameter (35-45mm offset required)
205/45/17 - 24.3" diameter (38-45mm offset required)
205/50/17 - 25.1" diameter (38-45mm offset required)
215/40/17 - 23.8" diameter (38-45mm offset required)
215/45/17 - 24.6" diameter (40-45mm offset required)
225/40/17 - 24.1" diameter (42-45mm offset required)
225/45/17 - 25" diameter (42-45mm offset required)


Being as that I'm super i have no idea what all that means... well sorta but why are there so many options...

the ones pictured above are:

SIZE: 17 X 7
40 OFF SET 8 HOLES UNIVERSAL 4X100/4X114.3

ADR RIMS BIA!

I don't know about the 215/40 thing about them... what is that ne way?

And I wanna get tires so that the speedometer is not messed with...

thanks

 

The speedo shouldn't be off by much at all really, and I would go 18s if I were you. 225,40,18s...or 215. The price of tires from 18-17 isn't that much different.

 

alright, here goes.

205/55R16, which is a stock CL tire

Let me break it down.

205- width of your tire. This would be how wide your tire is from side to side

55- height of the sidewall. Take the distance between where the rim meets the tire, and go to the outside edge of the tire.

R- Radius, math class FTW!

16- Size of the rim, in inches.

 

i see... this is measured in millimeters im speculating? and so... If i went 17's then i would want like... 35 sidewall? so that it is approxiamtly the same?


why 18? I mean... the rim would cost more right? I think so... also... I kinda like 17's... ZeroCL... if you check this out, what size do you have... in ur avatar?

 

I just think 18 with 40s look about the best. The price might end up being a tiny bit more, but I think worth it.

 

i have 40/18s but i forgot if they were 215 or 225

 

woah man, 35's on a 17 would be real bad, plus you'd be way off on the speedo.
Think 45's, that's a nice fit on 17's, maybe 50's if you like more sidewall, but 45 should do.

for 18's, think 40 series rubber, no bigger. But don't go rollin on 35's unless you want bent rims like subbuzz.

If you're looking for a good size on 17's, go with a 215/45, that'll look real nice without worrying about rubbing at all.

 

17x35 would look horrible. unless it was slammed totally to the ground, and even then it wouldn't look right. If I did 17s I would put at least 45s on there.

 

oops... i read that wrong i saw it as 45... so then i took some off that to get 35... i meant to say 45 or 40ish cuz 55 is way too gigantic ... but i also dont want as slim as the ronjon ad at the top right...

 

In that thread with the batmobile guy... are those 40's? or less or more?

 

If his rims are 18s, I would say yes they are 40s.

 

ADR = Another Dented Rim

but i say just take it easy and be careful and you should be alright

 

FFFFFFFFFFF... I cant find them on eBay ne more...

me

 

18" ADR's check it...

how bout those?

 

Daddy like. If I could do it again I would go with something more like that.

 

haha... yea... so with this I would want 40 tire right? I'm trying...

 

Thats what I would get man, and thats what I have. If you go 35 they don't look right, they make the rims look smaller, and make your wheel well gap look bigger.

 

so it would be 40 not 45 or something... oh and i only said 35 cuz i have no freaking clue what I'm talkin about with rims/wheels...

 

oh and with these... how much would the speedo and odo ( ) be off?

 

It wouldn't be off by much. I know there are formulas around here to figure it out though if you really want.

 

just bought those...

now the tires... they should be 40 or 45... !! haha

so excited

 

By the way HornedFrog... wtf is ur avatar.......?

 

Its a picture of me at my graduation.

 

40 series tires bro, don't go 45, and don't go 35. Your speedo should stay relatively the same.

 

Just kidding, its that dude from the movie mask. The one with Cher. Ugly as hell huh.

 

Use this tool to see how the tire sizes affect your speedometer: http://www.miata.net/garage/tirecalc.html

The stock size is 205/55/R16.

 

Nice tool sleeper. So, with my setup the calculator says I will be going 60.5 mph when my speedometer says I'm at 60mph . So don't even worry about it. That is 225/40/18s
