ADR rims

I am thinking about getting some ADR M-Sport rims, but the guy at the local performance store told me that they don't carry them anymore because they were of questionable quality. Has anybody had experience with the brand? I really like the M-Sports, but I don't want to have to replace them after every bump on the road.

I've heard that ADR is having financial problems. So even if you find the rims, any potential warranty issue may be more difficult to resolve given their financial condition. They had a Southern California distribution center not too long ago but have since closed it and consolidated distribution in Northern California. Another indication they may be in trouble.

I was considering the M-Sports at one time but they were back ordered 5-7 weeks and then I heard about the financial thing. It was a bit tough to let go as there aren't many 18x7.5 rims with a +48 offset out there.

Hope this helps you with your decision.

ADR M-Sports would look nice on a 3gen TL...you may want to try eBay. Definitely try to find the black/grey style.

I have 19" ADR Sterlings on my 04 NBP, and have hit some nice potholes, and wheels have shown no damage. They are in my opinion a good priced, good quality wheel.

I used to work for ADR ( better known as Golden Apple Co. ) All I can say is that they're the same quality as any cheap knockoffs like Rota, and etc. I would never put a set of ADR rims on any of my cars.

why does every rim i see put on the 3rd gen TL look awkward? It seems that the wheels always look to small, but then if the wheel is large it looks too large. I was so excited to see what people would do with the new TL and have been quite disappointed by aftermarket aesthetic changes. Just had to say somethin.

They are. I believe the symbol in the middle of the rim is the Enkei symbol.

They are Enkei's...PK6 to be exact. Just wanted to show our friend what the grey would look like. Sorry for not clarifying!
