ADR Sterling 19s vs. Lowenhart BR5 19s

One set is considerably cheaper than the other (knockoffs) but other than that are there any huge quality issues between the two regarding bending, cracking, or the chrome itself???

Anyone???

I would yes, there are significant difference's between the two. Adr's a crap a$$ company that wishes it could make rims as well as Lowenhart. Don't waste your money. You'll end it paying for it in the long run.

ADR has horrendous customer service, but their wheel quality was decent. I thought mine cracked, but it was just a scratch with some grime in it. I'd say get the ADRs if the price difference is significant.

well considering you can get a whole set of sterlings for less than the cost of one BR5 what would you chose

that altima is sick...i love those rims...what tire and size did you go with???


ASU since i know that you've had a lot of different rims what do you think of adr sterlings 19s vs katana inspire 19s quality wise and stuff because the streets around me suck but I think 19s look so good on a max. Im trying to find the strongest set for a reasonable price.

And does anyone think or know if 255/35/19 would fit on max lowered with maxspeeds???

My ADR X-Factor 19"s held up awesome and were given absolute hell by their previous owner who was also running undersized tires.

Katanas- never owned them, but ask 2k2_6spd about them. I believe he had an issue with one of the wheels being warped/crooked which caused vibration.
