I have heard they are of good quality, but don't know from personal experience. Those white gt sport ADR wheels are phat looking!

I'm saving up for those!

I am gonna get the 18in gt-sport in hyper silver. They may be knock offs but I seriously think they look better than anyother rim that looks like that.

Another thing I saw on e-bay a company called driver-fx selling them about 2months ago for a buy it now price of $612. Now they are selling them for $1200. I don't get it. You can find them easily for $800.

Good quality. I have ADR's and they are stronger than Konigs, from real experience. My fiance bent her 17" Monsoon with a 45 profile tire, and I went over the same cruddy pothole with a lower profile tire and no damage at all to the ADR. It has even survived two bad accidents since I've got them with nothing but cosmetic damage. Definitely a great rim for the price.

Poor quality.

Please explain. I understand what a bad quality product is, but what made you come to this conclusion? Just curious. Because, if they are that bad, I'll look elsewhere.

I have 19" ADR's, haven't bent one yet. I had 17" Borbets, bent 2 of them. Konig's are soft, it's like driving on tin foil. I know a lot of people who have bent Konigs.

lets see, i got the rims and one of the screw on centercaps did not even go on because the thread of the rim (not the centercap) was not complete...i had to bring it to a machine shop to get the centercap to fit...How's THAT for quality control? and after getting them on the car, they BENT Very Easily...never hit a pothole...just a manhole cover which i hit daily on my stock rims and never had a problem...Trust me, they are JUNK! As soon as you get them you'll be able to tell the poor quality...
