Default Anyone else with ADRs?

I know they are supposedly cheap because they are cast, and I guess they are because there is a small bend on the lip my drivers rear, guy hit a huge pothole going fast but it doesnt leak or make any sound, and I would have never even looked at them, but they came on the car when I bought it and everyone loves them.

18x9.5 all around, 265/35 up front and 275/35 in the back currently. In the picture they are 275/35 all around, which looked much better, oh well.

Haha yeah its me. The rear drivers side ate a nail and when I took it to get it patched the inner sidewall got chewed up and they couldn't put it back on for liability issues. Replaced the old passenger rear as well and put the newer two front tires on the back. Unfortunately all they had were two 265s and no one in like 20mi had any 275s.

I'm lovin it so far, replaced all the idler/tensioner pulleys (things were giving me a headache b/c the squeak and I just did em all at once, did the belts too for the hell of it), new fuel filter and I'm keepin her on synthetic mobil 1 like you did. I'm bumped her up to 93 octane after doing the fuel filter last week and it seems to drive a little better. Got a ticket 3 weeks ago for the tint and I removed it to avoid the $200 ticket . That 5% all around looked so awesome but I couldn't afford to keep it on. Oh and I removed the side molding today. And I'm repainting the center tail light panel in the next couple days to get rid of the worn firebird/ta. Also gonna put LM1 catback when I can find the right price, the sound is nice and refined now but I want LOUD haha.

Sounds good man. You should put some pics up of it w/o the ground effects. I'm about to put a hot cam in my camaro within the next few weeks. I have all of the parts but I have to find a good weekend. Also getting the exhaust dumped w/ borla before the axle. I had seen that on facebook about your ticket and I just had to laugh my *** off. lol I had to pay 80 bucks for my ticket. The smokey's got us good

Those wheels look nice. I can only think of one other person with them.

He lives in Alberta, Canada. Has a NBM TA with white stripes. Something tells me his username is KyleLS1

Yeah I had just 10 seconds before passing him rolled the windows up. His little machine read 1% haha, he made some remark and I really wanted to be a smart *** but I held myself back. I saw your thread about the hot cam and after watching a few vids I really really want one. Is there a cam that is easier to put in? I've been putting a cam behind a lot of stuff because I thought it was more involved but all you need is just new springs and a tune with it right? Tell me how it goes because I might throw this in with LTs and !AIR/!EGR. I put some pics on facebook with the side molding off, it looks alot cleaner considering those two pieces were missing on the passenger door .

I had ADRs on a different car and they never failed me. The car looks great and I love that NBM color.

The car looks pretty good. Maybe it's the angle but it looks like you could use some spacers in the front they sit in a little deep.
