Split 5 Spoke ADR Sterling Chrome wheels on my TA

Here are a few pics of my new front wheels, the backs are not ready yet. These are ADR Sterling Chrome 18x8.5 on the front, with 255/35/18 Toyo T-1 tires. Pics are not that great, but I wanted to show them off

I can't wait to get my rear wheels back

It costs $200 a wheel, + $10 a wheel return shipping.

Thanks for all the comments guys! I can't believe how good they look. They look even better in person.

lol...I knew I would hear that from at least one person, but I don't mind. The FIKSE's had a little curb rash and weren't "perfect", and I an terribly **** about my cars.

I wanted a little bling on my car without being too ghetto, and I think I got the look I wanted. I will definitely not be seeing any other cars around here with the wheels I have, especially after I get my "custom" 18x10's on the back.

I think you did a good job. I don't know why, but I like them on your car, looks very sweet. Normally, and "designer" wheel just flat don't appeal to me, but that looks very tasteful. Pushing the "bling", but not overboard.

There is also a Lowenhart wheel that looks very similar.

take a look here for prices on the ADR Sterlings I have 5x120 18x8.5 and 38mm offset in Chrome:

http://www.bigwheels.net/wheelshow.jsp?modelid=388

$387.20 each + shipping

And I am spending $200 each to have the back wheels widened to 18x10

Talking

Due to the many emails I have received wanting to know the exact specs on these wheels they are:

18x8.5 ADR Sterling wheels, chrome finish. (These wheels also come in a diamond cut/silver finish as well.)

5x120 bolt pattern, 38mm offset.

Here is a link to a page showing prices on all the sizes, finishes, and offsets they come in:

http://www.bigwheels.net/wheelshow.jsp?modelid=388

This is really a BMW bolt pattern, but they fit perfectly.

I am having the rear wheels widened to 18x10, and they will effectively have a 7.75" backspacing when they are finished, so they should great with no spacers required. I may add 1/4 " spacers on all four corners just to fine tune the "look" of the wheels on the car. I'll make my final determination on that after I get my rear wheels back and see how they fit.

Thanks again for all the great comments,suggestions, and emails I have gotten.

Shawn
