Honestly, Ace wheels are crap, but they are cheap. I have seen a Infinity dealership near me putting these on cars and selling for an additional $2k. If I am not mistaken, ACE wheels are so cheap, that some of their 17" wheels start in the $40 range.

Looks wise, however, they don't look too bad at all...would never trust them for my $30K car though

They look nice but quality would be my concern. I have also heard bad things about ACE. You get what you pay for, I suppose.

Can someone explain how to paste a picture into the message?

I would like your opinions on wheels?

Click on reply. you will see the "title" line, then the "message" line, Below "size" you will see a little yellow square that looks like a mountain, click on that and paste the link to you picture.

What about ADR wheels? Are they any good? Particularly these:

Comp - they are pretty similar looking IMO, but the ADR is a little more stylized and maybe better suited to the TL.

I like the simple design of the ADR's and the "lip" on both of them. I thought the ADR's might show a little too much rotor.. Im trying to see if our rotors will rust and look bad over time.

Even though the ADR has fewer spokes, each spoke is a double so I think you wouldn't see too much rotor. Let's face it, all rotors look ugly over time.

How did you do that... CompTech?
Can you put these up? These I think are the best looking. They are 5 spoke with splits and have a polished lip. The SSRs dod not have a lip.
Too bad they are 18-7.5 and not 8.5.
Should that matter?

Ennio or DL46. Can you put pictures of these up.

Thanks Comptech?
What do you guys think if the styles above?
The DL 46 is sharp.

ADR wheels are not bad quality wise...I know some people that have and like these wheels. Also, I like the look of the ones you posted.

Michaelvg1, I like the Dl46 a little better, I have seen the DL's (or something that looks just like them) on a few cars in my area. I think they are 18x7.5 or 19x8.0 only. You might want to check though.

Dl46=ssr Gt3

Those DL46's are nice but you might just want to save up some more $$$ and the SSR GT3's.


Kind of pricey, but oh so nice.

I agree... However, I am leasing the car and probably will not want to worry about selling wheels in three years. You know what I mean?
Just want the look for summers. The weather in NJ is not that great most of the year.
What about the AZAs?

They look good, but I've never heard of AZA.


I do like the dark accents.
It must suck to take off the nicer set up for the winter. I live in SoCal so I'll get to keep my wheels on year round.

The Ennio looks too plain to me. The DL46 is too bling bling for my tastes with all those screwheads or whatever you call that look. I still like the ADR best - stylish, not too much going on, but contemporary and sleek and, to my taste anyway, well-suited for the TL.
