ADR Sterling

Wanted to know if anyone has ADR Sterlings on their car in 18'''s. I have been looking into getting these after seeing them on a car at HIN. Stll have yet to find specs on them to see if they even fit, but one thing at a time

Friend of mine had a set of ADR Kosei in 17's, after just 2 weeks, he noticed some vibration while driving on the freeway and later found out one of the rim was bent. He said he never hit any curbs or drove over a pothole high speed. I think ADR uses very cheap materials on their rims and I would stay away.

My next choice would be Enkei LM 1/5S in 18''. They are 18'' with 7.5'' wide, +45 offset and 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Here is what they look like:

From what I remember, the offset available on the Sterlings is in the 38 range.

I would REALLY like the BR5's but 18''s look small so I would have to go with 19''s which means upgrading my tires (already have 4 brand new Yokohama Spec-V's 18'') plus all the extra l00t for 19''s and they would have to be chrome
