These rims any good?

Has anyone heard of Sports Max Racking Rims or ADR rims? I've seen them on ebay for about $500 for 18x8.5 and 18x9.5 rims, so they are pretty cheap. Just wondering if the quality is bad on them.

ADR's are cheap... price-wise... You can usually find those for around $100-$130 for each rim, depending on the size. The only thing I can think bad about the ADR's are that they are heavy.

As far as Sport Max's, I really don't know much about those, I know they have some nice wheels though. I've only met one guy with a set, and he never had any problems. I actually want to get a set of Sport Max's...

Yeah I'm concerned about weight. That seems to be the difference between the cheaper ones and brands like Volk. ADR makes some really nice looking rims though.
OEMs I read are 22 lbs which is pretty decent.

my volk 57F cost me $1000 shipped for a set, and they're less than 18 lbs each. So more than 16 lbs of rotating mass off the rims.
