I'm not sure if I'm going with ADRs, but im not sure what 'look' I want just yet.

Just to clarify...If I go for the 1st style, It'll most likley be painted BBS's. If second style, Painted SSR GT3's. Just making sure.

something like this:





or something like this:






either will be going on this:




any opinions?

my opinion is that you save more money to get better rims and NOT those ADRs. They are cheapo rims. Then again... the whole rim topic always gets ppl upset. I'm not trying to offend you at all. I just think that those casted wheels are garbage. Just my opinion.

no no , I agree with you. I'm trying to decide on the LOOK right now. i.e. If i go w/ the bottom style, I'm gonna go w/ SSR GT3's.

It's pretty much useless to bring up the topic of which rim is quality and which is affordable to everybody. I kinda just sit back and enjoy the show.

I prefer lower number of spokes too. SSR comps/GT3s are incredibly nice looking on almost any car.

The SC is a simple flowing car design. Too amny spokes breaks up the theme.

Go with a multi-peice wheel for sure (Better offset choices)

All of my cars have 5 spoke wheel but that's my taste.

What look are you going for? Mesh is for a more classy but 5 spoke is for more of a sporty look.

Either way you go...aftermarket wheels (TT whees included) are the way to go, stocker are not attractive (IMO)

Good luck!

For the price of BBS and SSR you could go with iFORGED which would be stronger and less pricey.

Take a look at the promotion that is going on right now on them

I used to have the SSR GT3 rims and I loved them. They are still one of my favorite designs.

You can customize the Iforged wheels in almost any finish, or color you like.
