Full Version: Need opinions on rims!

Alright guys, I've finally decided that I have the money to pony up for a set of rims and tires and I'd like some opinions. I'd like to get a set, and I'm looking for a something in a gunmetal/black color. Here are a few sets I like that I've found on ebay, let me know what you think:

ADR 18' black

ADR 18' silver

ADR 18' gunmetal

ADR 18' 6 spoke

ADR 18' 6 spoke black

I'm leaning more toward the 1st 5 spoke black w/chrome lip at the moment, or the third (gunmetal) set. I'm not lowered yet, though I do plan on doing that in the future. And also, do I need to get a set of hub-centric rings with them, or are those really not necessary? If anyone has pics of their 6 with any of these or something similar, I'd love to see what they look like.

Any and all opinions are welcome!

I think the 3rd one looks the best.
BIIM6
3rd or 4th, probably the 4th though. never was a fan of the fake bead lock design.
Rainmens
I like #2.

Tha 3rd if you can find em in a 5 spoke...

See I really like the 3rd set aswell, and the reason the first is appealing to me is that I plan on doing the whole black V hood and baking my headlights in the near future, and I want to end up with a black on silver theme. But my only real detterent to the 1st set is the beadlocks, and the fact that black wheels with a chrome lip always seem to look smaller than they actually are. I really like werm9's 5zigen's, but those are a little out of my price range at the moment.

I also have a set of Shinka RX-8 rims I'm watching on ebay.. we shall see

Ok, I've narrowed it down to two, and the only difference between the two is a black lip versus a gunmetal lip. And I've also decided that I 'will' be doing the blacked out grille and hood in the near future. Let me know what you think...

ADR 18' black lip

18' ADR gunmetal lip

2. Volks
3. Advan

lol, wow.. those are some beautiful rims diablo.. I may have to think about that, especially the first set.

Also I still have'nt gotten an answer to one of my questions, do I really need to get a set of hub-centric rings if I'm purchasing aftermarket rims??

The Tenzos aren't that expensive...Compare to the last 2.

And for the hub-centric rings. You don't really need em....I mean I know 6 people including me that doesn't have em including me.
