I want advice about some rims for my car. It is a Capri blue coupe lowered, I need new tires so I am thinking about new rims too. I went with 17s the first time around, and now I want to go 18s. Has anyone had experience with stern, or ADR wheels?? Here are the three styles that I would like an opinion on. The first is ADR, followed by the Stern in Chrome, then hyper black.
I know there are a lot of Chrome haters out there, but its hard to deny that a dark car with just enough chorome tinted windows, and droped just a little looks pretty sweet!!!
Thanks in advance for the opinions.

the Hyper black looks good.

Here are the specs for the wheels
#1
Name : ADR - BATTLE EXE
Bolt pattern : 5X112
Size : 18X8.5
Offset : 35mm
Finish : Silver / Silver Polished lip
Weight : 23Lbs each
#2, and 3 same wheel different finish
Brand : Stern ST-8
Bolt pattern : 5 x 112
Size : 18 x 8.5(front) & 18 x 9.5(Rear)
Offset : 35mm(front) & 35mm(Rear)
Lip size : 2"(front) & 3"(Rear)
I couldn't find the weight info, but since ADA, and stern have the same parent company I would asume that they would be produced the same way, and quality wise would be about the same.
If I could find a way to tine all of my chrome to the same black chrome look that would really be cool!!! but for now it is jsut chrome in a few places, nothing too much, and tinted windows. the suspension is just stock shocks with Voghtland audio springs. nothing too fancy, and no camber kit required.

fender work is easy and required for most 19's (lowered)
Buy a Fender Roller ($250 on eBay)
Use it once and put it back on ebay...you'll get about 90% of what you paid.
Buy a Dremel ($30 on eBay)
Dremel off the bumper strips.

C230K SportCoupe
I am also looking at buying the same ones (gunmetal w/polished lip) for my 2005 C230 Sport Coupe. I'm guessing these would fit well in the rear, but I'm not sure if these would need spacers (5mm?) in the front. Does anyone know if I need spacers for 8.5's in the front?

C230K SportCoupe
Could someone please advice me if 18x8.5 with 35mm offset will fit for a C230 coupe ? I'm mostly concerned about the front. Will I need spacer? If so, then what size? I plan on lowering the car using eibachs later on (1.2" drop). Sorry for asking again, but the ebay sale for the wheels that I like ends tomorrow afternoon. I have read through the whole thread & have somewhat of an idea, but I can't be sure.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
An.

Thanks Blake for you reply. I don't intend to get coilovers, just standard lowering springs like these H&Rs http://www.optionsauto.com/prodinfo.asp?number=HR-52792 or the eibachs, keeping stock shocks & struts. So, I should be good right?
Once again, thanks very much for your help.
