Sorry fellas i had to post this thread just because i am so pissed right now. NO pics, no wheels, no nothing. Well i do have three wheels and the fourth was a 5x100 for some odd reason. The shop was about to mount them and realized one was ordered wrong. So hopefully friday they will be done, they are getting it fedex 2 days.

:GotPics:
 
hopefully they will be done Friday, I post a pic of the wheels in my living room but I dont want to spoil the surprise.
 
these were the ones ordered wrong, they could not get me another one in time so i bought different wheels. I will post pics of the new ones on the car when they come.

I love that style too that's why i am pissed.

Jdub, you want details on the new wheels or the situation. Fedex just picked up the old wheels, new ones will be here tuesday.
 
Give something on the wheels.


Whats the brand? They look beefy.
 
ADR makes them, m classic. They are 18x8 38 offset, the new wheels will be 18 x8.5 38 offset also ADR.
 
Hmmm I thought they looked familiar:p .

I could have swore those never even came in 5x108 only the 5x100 and 5x114. They have those in chrome which looked real nice!


Where did you get them?
 
from seller nate's wheels? He's only about 100 miles from me.
 
Hmmm, can you find a link?

I couldn't find a store by that name.
 
18X8.5 with a 38 offset smells like some serious rubbing issues if your lowered. I have Falken Koblenz 18X8 38 offset and i got serious rubbing... I cannot imagine with a 8.5 wide wheel
 
They dont smell like rubbing to me. And I have almost the same exact wheel.
 
should be fine with 245/40 tires, might rub the rear a bit but you can trim the liner.
 
Thats the exact size Verdesteins I was looking at on Thursday for my 19's with that offset.

From what I was told they said I shouldn't have problems unless I get a sagging liner or something. They messed around with a ruler but I think they just wanted to look like they were doing something special cause I did go to NTB. I wouldn't expect the average NTB employee to actually be 100% credible.


Anyway. I really liked that style more when I purchased mine from Nates but again I was always told they didnt come in our pattern. But, you are getting 18's so maybe it was just the 19's that didnt come in that pattern.

Cant wait to see them. They are Hyper Silver right? I like how the Hyper Silver looks like a brushed wheel under certain lighting.

Oh, and that site is exactly like Nate's Wheel ( were I got mine ) :shifty: .
 
yeah nates and the site i got them from are very similar. My car is not lowered so no rubbing issues will come into play. Also there is rarely someone in the back seat. Remember the wheels i posted are the set i returned, yeah i really wanted those. I bought a different set, ones i was actually looking at first. they are hyper silver with a 2 inch polished lip. i thought i saw 19's in our pattern, or maybe not i will check again.
