Feedback or Experience with ADR rims

Anyone have any feedback on this brand of rims. They look decent and have a good price. The ones I am looking at are ADR RS limited Valkyrie, in gun metal. Are these POS or decent? Help?

I'm on my third set

This is my third set of ADR wheels. I've never had a problem with any of them. The finish has always help up fine. The set I have on my car now has been the best so far.

My friend just bought a set of ADR GT sport's in hypersilver, and the finish started peeling in about a week. He got them warranteed, and the new ones peeled that same day when he went to wash his car. I have a set of Konig's, and they are strong as he!!. I recently drifted sideways into a curb at 90 mph and it didn't even bend the rim! Luckily its fixable, seeing as they are discontinued and are only about 6 months old.

I have the 19" ADR GT Sports and the finish has held up fine. Had them for about 9 months now, no problems. I'm probably going to Konigs soon since I'm being offered them for free. Plus I need to have the "right" brands on my car to ever hope for a magazine shoot. But the Konig aren't really any better than the ADR. I've heard bad things about Konigs too, like they bend easily. But I've never owned a set so I can't really compare.

BTW, thebigsadler has Racing Harts, not Konigs or ADR's.

ADR's are real nice, I've never heard of any complaints, I wanted the DV-8's but they are no longer made and I love my M5's..

I have a set of ADR RS2000 18X8 and they are very good quality wheels Ive had them over 2 years and havent had any problems. They are very strong I ran over a 3 inch curb at 20 and didnt even bend the wheel.

I question them too. www.whalentire.com has ADR rims for dirt cheap. But I've heard a story from the Sentra guys of a Civic running into the curb and literally CRACKING the rim in half. And I saw the pics..

If the "You get what you pay for" thing is true. The ADRs aren't all that.. I like some of their styles but I don't know if I'd buy them.

I heard that too. I had ADR. They were pretty good. Used them for 1 month.
