I really want the the ssr competitions because they are so light, but some ADR c-pro wheels are about 1/4 the price. Will I really be able to notice the 4 extra pounds of the ADR's? I'm just trying to decide if I should bother saving up the 1300 dollars. Any help would be appreciated.

 

those lbs wont mean much, but if you want lightweight go for say konig heliums or rotas, but if your stuck on that design get the ards and save some money, then take out the spare and make up for that weight

 

ADR wheels are garbage. They are prone to bending and cracking. You're paying extra for the SSR's not just for the weight savings, but also because the wheels are much stronger. If you cannot afford them, get Rotas instead. Rotas make decent wheels for cheap.

Yea ADR isnt that great, I have heard numerous stories of them cracking within months of thier purchase.

 

you get what you pay for.... ssr owner here

 

ide say go with the cheaper ones caaaause if something goes wrong and you need to buy one you wont be broke from buying the other ones hhahah. but i guess it also depends one which ones look better (4lbs is minor too)

 

Well I am actually running adr concept pros on my gs-r right now with falken azenis, and I have had no problems whatsoever. I've heard people say that they've seen them crack, but I've had mine for close to 2 years; they've been through countless drag launches, potholes etc. and they are still as good as new.

very nice! Are those konig heliums?

 

5zigen makes a version of the ssr. doesn't look as nice, but 5zigen rims are of better quality than adr.

 

SSR all the way....taking out your spare tire and reducing the amount of rotational mass are two different things....lol

 

I had 17" ADR's for two years with no issues at all. And that was with numerous 40-60 MPH pothole/uneven road hits. Maybe I got lucky, but they were pretty good rims for the price.

 

ssr without a doubt...

Thanks for the tips. My car is grey so that is why I want gunmetal rims with a polished lip. I am going to get 15s so I'm not too concerned about cracking or bending the rims since the 55 series should take more abuse than say 40 series tires. I am also considering the rota grids. They are roughly the same price and weight as ADR c-pro. Anyone have a pic of a grey integra with gunmetal wheels?

 

If you're going 15's, go rota's for sure. I switched from ADR's to Rota's, and the Rota's seem to be better quality. AND they're a lot lighter.

 

Those are Black Racing N1Rs. Looks like Advan RGs, no?

They are for sale too if anyone is interested.

 

every pound you take off your wheel, is a 1/10 second in quarter mile, so i say save up and get the lighest you can

Never heard that one before. So if you run 2 identical cars, except one has Volk TE-37s, the Volk-equipped car should be running what, like 1.5s faster than the stock car with stock rims?

LMAO

 

shoot for the ssr rims...
