CasopoliS Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 ADRs are cheap Ebay rims but I just want a different look for the summer. Does anyone on here have ADR rims? I think I remember someone having Phantoms. They are probably the same weight as the stock rims, and might bend with a huge pothole... but whatever, I can deal with that when the time comes up. Does anyone know of cheap rims other than ADR I could search for? It seemed ADR was not only cheap, but had a decent selection. They just mass and mass and mass produce these things and they are inexpensive (and probably very cheap too). What are your thoughts on these styles? #1 - Velocity - seem to have a nice lip.... dont know how that many spokes would look though. http://evolutioneffects.com/images8/VeloceSil10H1.JPG http://evolutioneffects.com/images8/VeloceSil10H2.JPG #2 - Phantom http://i24.ebayimg.com/01/i/07/32/10/54_10.JPG http://i12.ebayimg.com/03/i/07/34/4b/47_10.JPG #3 - Victory - say "no" to fake bullets, but I like everything else about them. http://windcloud415.zoto.com/img/45/37f163bf1b47fac217916220f4b3574a-.jpg http://windcloud415.zoto.com/img/45/f1f0a0edcb0d49bf643a89b41ec60544-.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to ask what they weighed, until I saw this post. Too damn heavy, IMHO. Cheaper wheels are almost always too heavy for my tastes. FWIW, when i went to 17x7.5" Rota SDRs and Michelin Pilt Exalto PE2 tires (215/45/17), i saved 3#s per corner over the stock wheel/RE92 setup. I won't do aftermarket wheels/tires unless I save weight. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasopoliS Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 those are nice but I think I want something a little less 'open'. I guess this means more spokes and more weight! What do you guys think of these. They are made by Drag and are 15lbs for 17" rims. (minus the sticker on the spoke of course) http://www.dragwheels.com/image.asp?src=images/upload/Drag%20wheels/dr-8%20silver%2001.jpg&width=523&height=500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CasopoliS Posted June 12, 2006 Author Share Posted June 12, 2006 My favorite are the angled spoke rims.... the Konig Imagines are sweet. It is hard to find these though. http://i12.ebayimg.com/01/i/07/67/21/da_12.JPG Thanks for the help guys.... I am on a quest for cheap rims. There is an auction that I might jump on tonight just because they are cheap. Might not stick with them... or maybe I will. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spec-B GT Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 I hear you and I am jumping on there with you, $349 for rims. I might just start a business out of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CasopoliS Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 I am afraid the ADR will be too heavy... but I cannot find weights anywhere. I like the drag rims I posted above because they are light... but I am not sure about the style yet..... The auction ends in 2 hours for the ADR rims. Its a good deal so far... only ~$300 shipped. I cannot see them going for more than $400 shipped... just 2 hours left. I hate to jump on it because it is a good deal, I just wish I knew the weight. I also just found the Rev Model 2, which looks HOT. The cheapest I have found is a little over $500 shipped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
