need opinion on black wheels with polished lip! - Mazda 6 Forums : Mazda 6 / Mazda Atenza Forum

*ICE* · 05-09-2008, 09:46 PM

Im planning to get some black rims with chrome lips after installed my new coilover. Now the only decent looking black rims i found for a decent price is the ADR-79 Battle Exe style.

Specs are:

Size: 18x7.50 BP: 5x100 5x114.3

Offset: 48

total is $715 shipped. You guys think its a good deal?

Some pics of the car here:

pretty good deal, they would look pretty good on your car since it is silver, plus it goes with your black hood theme

good choice, those are the rims i want when i get the $$

They look pretty nice. I like the Battle Axe style.... and at that price it's definitely good.

Are you sure they have a chrome lip? Or is it machined? The only reason I ask is that the machined lips are a PITA to clean/polish whereas the chrome will clean off very easily! Just something to think about...

no not a good deal.

i actually could have gotten those same rims at my local rim shop for 450 out the door haha.

with that price you could find better rims than ADR, in my opinion. (for some reason i really dislike ADRs now)

search harder, or else you'll regret it afterwards.

silx29 · 05-10-2008, 02:38 AM

haha yeah they were same specs, (i was thinking about getting them)

i'll look in to it haha. but i might tax you bit more for dissing my car on your thread :P

scratch that, i just bought a set of these wheels in silver instead of a SUPER LOW PRICE on ebay... couldn't pass up on the deal..

down side is the offset is 42+ and im about to install the TEIN coilover... wishing it wont rub in the rear.

One question, it said on the description "Hub bore: 73.1"... does that fit our mazda6?
