Default Opinions of "ADR M-Sport" rims.

I am thinking of getting a set of ADR “M-Sports” for my wife’s 04 BMW 330CI. Does anyone on here have any thing good or bad to say about these rims? I really like the way they look but do not know anyone that has a set.

Just want to poll the masses prior to investing.

Well the looks are great. But you have to understand one thing. ADR's are knock offs. But you get what you pay for. If your just putting them on your wife daily driver. Get them, but if your looking for a lightweight durable wheel, that's not the wheel for you. Check out SSR, Volks, BSA, etc. More pricey but half the weight.

I was wondering about this as well, I mean is the only real advantage weight? And how would yuo determine durability? how it resists cracking or bending?

These rims would be for daily driving use only. I plan on using the stock rims for the Auto-x course. I am not looking for $3000 quality rims for $800. Just trying to get good looking rims for the daily grind. Thanks for your continued comments.

Not sure where you looked, I have found 4 places that sell them in 35mm offset in an hour. I am interested in 18x7.5 and that is the offset called for.

Almost every Z owner w/ 1300 dollars have ADR wheels. So rwd offsets are not hard to find. BTW Remember you get what you pay for. Me personanly I would probably buy them for my daily driver. But not my Z.
