I like the new wheels a lot, more so than your old ones. These look really good, and the smaller diameter doesn't bother me at all. Nice!

Can't wait to get pics of mine up. Same wheels, only in 19". Taking my car to the shop tomorrow so they can make the front ones fit. Back ones are on, but the front ones won't clear the brakes right now.

Jeff, what's the offset on the your new ADR 19"? I'm surprise they don't clear.

Those are tight but i think they would look better if they were a little bit bigger and if they were chromed out. Pretty nice though,

Thank You.............

for all of the compliments

these rims only come in
15",16",17",18",and 19" sizes

and colors-silver,hyper white,and hyper black(like gun metal)mine are silver.........

these are Japanese racing rims and racing wheels would not be chrome....

I like my stock size........this is my family travel car and I have two sons one 6 weeks old and one 2 years old,and In my hometown I can run up to the local tire shop and easily replace a tire of only 205/65R15 try running up in my town on 18's or 17's no one around here sells these sizes regular I know I can get them on the net but....stock is fine with me..............

The offset is a 42, I wished there was another one. But in the 19" size, this is the only choice. I had the shop order 1/4" spacers which would bring the offset to a 35.5 or so which should be close enough to the original 35 offset of the Borbets to clear. If it doesn't, then they're going to grind the calipers down some for clearance. What I'm worried about is not having enough thread left of the stud for the lugnut to thread onto. If that'as the case, then I have to get all the front studs replaced with longer ones. What offset are the Advans you're getting?

Sometimes I wish I didn't do the things I did to my car, it's like nothing is a straight bolton anymore.

good I have noticed better throttle response and better gas mileage and they are easier to spin aslo my ENKEI'S where really heavy and they were not chrome!...very suprising I might as well have had the MOMO's...these rims are off the chain! I really like them....thank you again for the props

very nice....

They look good on the car, how much lighter are they then the stock rims?
Do they affect fuel economy THAT much? Because I'm running on 60 series tires on 16" 5 spokes and my fuel economy sucks big time!!! I'm thinking of a nice alternative for stock rims, these are dope, they look hot.

I really don't know how much lighter but I can really tell a real big difference in fuel consumption and I run the stock size 205/65/R15 tires...it's like I can spin them real easy compared to my "old" rims.....it is a real big difference I get out and look to see if I even have rims on the car It sounds like I'm exaggerating but I'm not at all.....this is why I like small stock size rims...I get flamed a lot but....

Quick question, are those strong wheels? I was thinking about getting some but I don't want the same problem that I have w/ my American Racing wheels, very weak lip that will bend if you ride over a speedbump, ok exaggerating but still, any feedback greatly appreciated.
