Anyone here have wheels from Ebay?

Has anyone on this forum bought wheels from ebay? i see a few brands such as ADR wheels for a pretty cheap price. I'm not lookin to spend alot of money so i was hoping this might be a good buy.

how is the quality and the durability of the wheels. do they bend or crack easily? how is the finish on the wheels?

if anyone has pics with ADR wheels please post them and please list which ADR wheels you have. I'm looking for ideas on what type of wheels would look good on my SSM TL-S

Just fork out the money and buy better quality wheels. You'll get stronger construction wheels that are less prone to bending. Worth it IMO.

I bought a set of wheels on ebay for the Subaru Outback I had before I bought my 06 TL. They were RLS wheels. The model was Elite and they were 17x7 48mm offset 5x100 & 114.3. They balanced fine and looked great on the Sube. The Subaru TPM sensors also fit these wheels. I took them off when I sold the Outback. They are in boxes in my garage. If you want to see photos, PM me your email address and I can email the pics to you. I don't know how to post the pics on this site yet.

Beware of the ADR wheels on eBay! ADR (Golden Apple Corp) doesn't extend any warranty for any wheels bought through eBay, as per their website. Check out their announcement at http://www.adrwheels.com/news.events/

Exactly. I haven't purchased rims from eBay because I don't want those extra holes. Ruins the look of the wheels imo. But, saving up for wheels is quite an effort. I would save up for quality wheels.

If you can find some without those extra lug holes though, go for it I say. They cheap, so if they break, buy new ones!!!
