Not the best brand out there, like high quality wheels, but very affordable, and they look great.

Im mainly concerned with them being durable. Is there a significant risk of bending if I hit a pothole ect? Im looking at getting these in 17's...

I'm going to be getting me some ADR wheels. Look good and don't cost a whole lot.

Well to be honest with you.. potholes are a risk with any aftermarket rim, especially if you go with a low profile tire.. you have to be especially careful with potholes, dips etc.

As for the quality of ADR weehls, im not sure.. but good luck with whatever you choose.

If you want a high quality durable wheel, then you might want to look else where, something liek rays, 5zigen, reputable brands, there is a reason they dont cost alot, you gotta pay to play guys.

Im sure of that, But I know some people say "this rim bends easily" or "it will warp at the slightest pothole". If I got them I'd be getting 215/45/17's

I had ADR wheels on my last car and they held up just fine. They are a budget wheel though so don't expect them to weigh in at 14lbsor be super stronger.

However, unless you plan on doing some serious competitive driving you'll be fine.
