Anyone recognize these rims?
I would buy these tomorrow if someone recognizes the brand. And yes, I already called Clearcorners and asked them first -- they werent sure... IMO these would look sooooo tight on our 6th gen. Thanks to anyone that recognizes them.

They almost look like those Diablo ones... but the center cap is wrong. Other than that, BBS seems to be the closest... Either the CH or the RX...

It's REALLY close though, has the lip and they're cheaper than the BBS.

Ok - the ADR Msports look pretty damn close!
Largest size they have is 19's which is cool with me. Can I run with the 19X9.5's or should I go with 19X8.5's or even run a staggered look? What do you guys think - I haven't bought rims before so I'm not sure. Thanks!

As far as staggered, it's all up to you. It'd be for looks only since the Max is FWD anyway, and then you can't rotate afterwards.

Offset for both the 8.5 and 9.5 is 35...
Yeah I've thought about the rotation thing which would be a problem and $$$ since I will run Ultra High Performance tires. Probably not go for that look even though I liked the looks on the Street Concepts 6th gen with the staggered look...
Thanks for all your help!

koreanmaximan hit the nail right on the head. They sound perfect - nice rumble when you start the car, then it levels out to almost nothing. At about 4K rpms they really open up and let everybody know you mean business. 
Great purchase, some people think they are too big but I love mine. I see peeps with regular exhaust and think it looks bootsy - just my opinion though. BTW - I just bought an DV recorder and am going to make a sound clip of the Greddys in action. Will probably post it by this weekend.

I think 04 maxse is right - here are the pics.
Looks like the same ones to me also VERY similar to the ADR's. Which ones do you guys like of the two??? Gonna get them asap after I make a decision. Thanks!

Yeah - I'm thinking I am going to go with the ADR's. Unfortunately they wont let me link a picture. But they look almost exactly like the ones from the first car... I will definitely take pics once I get them. Thanks for all of your guys help!

Pal379 - DAMNNNN! That's awesome - thanks for the photoshop. I was right that does look SICK. Done deal as soon as I find the ones that resemble it the most!
sparq - those Asanti's are sick but have too many splits compared to the car in the first pic. I swear the ADR's would be a perfect match but they have one less split. Cant really tell the difference. Gonna compare prices on the ADR's and the IForged. Thanks for all your guys help!

Be careful with ADR's they are cheap in price and in quality. I had these M-Classics on my car (which I still prefer over my current wheels) But after a couple of months the clearcoat on the lip started coming off, to make a long story short they replaced one of my 3 defective wheels and then sent a 19" wheel by mistake and then said sorry they are discontinued, after I waited for them for 3 months saying "next week , next week"...could be an isolated case and hopefully so.

As long as the stock ones are round, it's hard for me to drop the dollars
But, if I did, I'm thinking this look: Assuming the centers aren't black, if they looked just like this color (gray/gunmetal - ish) : Example,

Not isolated at all. ADRs are notorious for the clearcoat coming off. I know two people it's happened to. My friend had M-Sports on his 350Z and the clearcoat started chipping... they looked pretty bad. He sold them on ebay for $400 for a set of 18" wheels that were only used for a year. Now he has 18" SF Winning and let me tell you, those wheels look unbelieveable. It's weird but something about them just screams high quality. They looked like they were coated with liquid diamonds. They are just plain sick.

AWESOME! Great detective work.
Jsmithole - I remember reading about the nightmare you had with the ADR's now. Think I will pay the extra $$$ for quality. Thanks again - the org is seriously the best place for this info!
PROPS!
