Message	:I consider quality in terms of the following: :1. looks (size, dish) :2. weight (may not be important for you:-) :3. cost. 4. strength (forged vs. cast) 5. single-piece vs. multi-piece 6. quality of the finish in appearance (consistency) 7. durability of the finish (cheap wheels have flaking clearcoat, and other problems) ADRs are just cheap single-piece, cast wheels like Konigs - no better and no worse. They're definitely not on the same level as an HRE, Iforged, RO_JA, Volk, Kinesis, etc. wheel. I say save your money and get quality wheels, but this is coming from a guy with 2-piece, forged 18s (RO_JAs) on one car, and 3-piece, forged 19s (SSRs) on the other. ///jrb
