Just wanted some feedback, thanks.

And I do know those ADR are knock offs, no biggie to me.

1. ADR Sterling 18x8.5
2. Moda R6 18x8 18x9
3. 18" JDM GS400 18x9

Go for the R6! They are high durability compared to the ADR and the five spoke designs looks good on any car. I was going to get those at first but I went with mille milgia evo 5. They were cheaper and about the same design. I suggest you go for the 18x9 frnt and 18x9 rears. So you can rotate your wheels and offer more flexiblity. Although, tires are much more expensive for 18x9 rears. I regret not getting 18x9 all around. There is not much noticeable difference btw 18x8 and 18x9. Good luck I know you will make the right decision.

Hey thanks for the feedback. I sort of did decide on the Modas, but after looking at the ADR they look nice as well! I think to treat me better I will get 19x9 modas like clint, with 245/35-19 rubber... that should fit well shouldn't it? In the semi near future I will have these, only thing is my car isn't dropped yet... dam it will look like a fricking 4x4, oh well.

I think the ADR wheels look the best. I think they offer staggered sizes also.

ADR = crap knock-offs...they're not far behind (below) Konig...but hey, if you want to buy crap, don't let us stop ya!


Moda R6 woud be the best choice (among the choices given)...glad you went with that...

Thanks Manaray, you are actually the one that steared me away from ADR, nice wheels, but like you said... just wannabes, I hate that. If i had money maybe I could afford the real deal, but even though I can't... doesn't mean I should settle for a knock off. Like you said in other posts, you can get good rims for the same price. Thanks.

Default I concur with everyone else on this one..

Moda R6 - I think it compliments the car quite nicely, gives it that clean and understated look.

MODA- better quality of wheel, and TRUST me, you feel alot better about your Lexus when it has quality wheels on it!!! Plus the 19x9 will look nice in your wheel well!
