ADR/Volk mesh wheel opinions
I'm looking for around some nice reasonably priced mesh wheels for my Z and I came across the 'm' series from ADR (black chrome version). I don't know much about ADR other than they don't offer forged rims and that they've been criticized by some as being a knock off rim manufacturer. I could care less about using a knockoff as long as the quality is there and they don't weigh a ton, so my question is are these wheels cheap knockoffs or decent rims at a decent price and/or does anyone have any other similar looking wheel suggestions? I've heard they are heavy, but the weight differences to me seem negligable. Will they bend very easily?

I'm also interested in VOLK SF winnings but not to thrilled with the price and availability. From what I've heard/seen I'd prefer lower than 32 offset w/ a 3 to 4 inch polished lip, 9.5 inches wide. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

IMHO, if you can afford the ride, you can spend a lil' extra for good quality wheels. I have read & heard good and bad stories about knockoff wheels. Manufacturers like ADR and Konig make a decent wheel for the money, but I have always told myself - you get what you pay for.

Are forged wheels even necessary? I've never bent an OEM wheel on any of my cars and I'm sure none have been forged??

i have had ADR's and they BEND very easily. For a decent rim look into Ace Alloy. Rondog has put them through morehell than my stockers and they are still looking good.
