I've actually had a chance to see both of those wheels in person..

both on CL-S though.. Kasai in 17, and GT in 18..

Quite a few people have the GT sports, and ADR just only recently released those in a high enough offset to fit our cars.. very sporty

The Kasai are nice and clean as well..

I like em both, but probably the kasai more..

are there any other ADR wheels you are considering?? I'm thinking about getting some as well maybe this summer,
18 inch of course, 17 is too small!!

But, I'm starting to wonder about their quality, lots of posts about them cracking and shattering easily..

I like wheels that have lip... and I dislike the one piece look. Theres lots of one piece rims out there that don't make it so blatant.

That's why you should look at Advan AVS Model 5 and shell out that extra g.

Between those two, I'll pick the kasai's.

BTW, are these the two rims you narrowed down to?

not to offend anyone, but i just have a question. why shell out so much money for your car and not invest in some nice wheels as well? i think it is worth the investment since you've but so much in it itself already.

Out of those two, then Kasai.
I agree with a few others, too. They would look better if it "looked" like a three-piece. Also, if they are shatter prone do NOT get them. I would rather it bend than shatter. Do they come in 20's?

Definately the kasai as well!!! but what size do they come in, cuz U def. want 18" right? Hey v_i_s_i_o_n do you rub at all? What is your width of your rims? I have APEXi coilovers as well and I was thinking bout getting 19" and want to bring it all the way down like yours but I wonder to be safe what's the biggest width I could use? 19x8 or 19x7.5 cuz that narrows down my rim selection a lot. Yes I know bout rolling fenders but I think being that low it would still rub
