Hello all,

Decided to change my wheels, since I got a bit 'o money saved up for my birthday, I've never really liked the old wheels and I found a good deal on these.

ADR MSport 17X7 - et 48

What d'ya'll think?

Now all I need to do is change the silver headlights for blacked out ones...

love the ADR mesh wheels. I didn't know they made them in such a protege friendly offset. Good deal! Bad camera

Im pretty sure most of you already seen mine but here we go anyways.
19" Racing Hart C5's

stock wheels painted BMW gun metal

Didn't want to go for another set of wheels right now... so painted the stock 16's a BMW Gun Metal color...

Maybe that will hold me over while I burn up these tires...

This one is my fav. These wheels made my jaw drop. (rockon)

i see that no one really runs any aggressive offsets...
i have 17x7 +50 (i want add a 20mm spacer when i get coilovers) and 17x8 +45 and they fit fine. i mean i COULD use a roll in the rear but no big deal it rubs on occasion. see sig.

^^^^^I agree with slideshow, most guys are afraid of a little poke (a little fender rolling never hurt nobody...lol). I think out cars look perfect like that.I know alot of people are about performance and weight, but I am going to be using my stockers for auto x and pick up a nicer/wider set for daily driving.

BTW....nice car slideshow! You should post some other pics.

I think she needs the new springs I've had sitting in my garage asap

 

[Rusty Protege]

I got these at Discount tires last week

I held the old and new in each hand and they seem to weigh the same as the stockers. 16 X 7 48mm offset. MB brand

 

[N2OInferno]

I'm not a big fan of poke/stretch on the P5. I'd do it on my GTI though.

Aggressive offsets are damaging to the wheel bearings.

just have to say inflames, those rims have me tempted..real tempted.

 

[brickisred]

Anyone running 16x7's with a +38 offset? Found a set of Enkei's I like but not sure if they'll fit or be detrimental to bearings, etc.

I also wanted to run some 205/50/16 Kumho ASX's on these.

 

[magnumP5]

^^^ Nope, won't work, well I guess they'd work but would rub like crazy Stick with +45 mm and higher (just not too high!) offsets and you'll be happy. Personally, I'm going to be running some Volk CE28Ns in 18x7.5 +50 trim when I get the money...
