Talking Found the Wheels I want...Need opinions.

These are the only wheels I want more than the Heidfelds (1-piece) but I don't know about their quality and reputation. Yay or Nay?

My roommate was about to buy the same wheels for his accord v6 , but he was told that the offset isn't correct for his car. I don't know about the TL though , but same thing might apply for TL & accord has the same gene. It's ok according to my standard.

I won't be the only one laughing when you downgrade from stock enkeis to ADR.

Is that who makes the TL stock rims?

Why is it a downgrade. So far you're the only that disagrees, so give me some reasons.

not only are ADR rims cast but they're largely overweight as well. Also the name is pretty shameful in itself. A general rule is: if most or a lot of civic owners have the wheel then don't buy it. There are few good whees.

Yes Enkei - if you ever remove your wheel you'll see it stamped on the back:

Enkei 16 x 6.5 and +55

is stamped there too (offset).

I found these Enkeis on the CL board. I'm sure you will like them, but I don't know offsets, and they are pricier than the Heidfelds. But I think they look better than the ADRs.
http://www.acura-cl.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/002420.html

To see them on the Enkei board, go to
http://www.enkei.com/setflash.asp?f=1

and go to the Tuning section.

p.s. I'm glad I already ordered my Heidfelds, or I'd be tempted to blow another $600-800 on those.

Thanks Guys but my bubble was just burst.

Only available in +40 offset.

I guess it's the Heidfelds. What's your opinions on the black rivets. I can't get chrome on the 17"

My friend owns a rim shop here in Oceanside and he said ADR's are crap. Their customer service sucks real badly also. He said once you buy their rim you loose their customer service. He has lost money with ADR because of that.

The ADR's had the +40 offset. Some guy in NJ said that he puts +40 on Maxima's all the time and it would be no problem. I said mmmmm....no.

I liked the Enkei but I like the rivet look and I might as well get the 3-piece Heidfelds for that much. Although the Enkei's were available in 17".
