serious opinions on xxr wheels
 
just seen the new XXR 527 and i like anyone have experince with these brand of wheels? better or worse than rotas? the price is crazy low so has me suspect!http://www.nlmotoring.com/ProductDet...Code=52789542N

Those who have run them have liked them from I know. I think they are decent. Maybe on the heavy side but if you are not tracking then what the hell.

very clean wheels

hey thanks for putting up the pic i was just reading the stick on how to do that after my previous fail! but yeah i like them. i have done some novice drifting with my stock wheels for fun at a nearby track so if i feel like doing that i will just throw them back on. thought they would be heavy as the sight could not verify weight. weird size too 18x9.75 +20

9krpmrx8 02-28-2011 09:13 PM

Those specs would make your car sit sick with coilovers. 18 x 8.75 +20 would be good, 18 x 8.75 +35 would be even safer.


Go for it, be the first. My new wheels come in Wednesday and I will be the only RX8 running them :)

A couple of the best nights of my life were in Miami. I grew up in Sarasota, I have been to Miami a few times.

chino0314 02-28-2011 09:34 PM

i love it although even at the age of 22 sometimes i wish i lived somewhere quieter and not so crowded

04rx 02-28-2011 09:36 PM

the quiet and school are what keep me here, oh and no emmisions! cold only thing i want to leave

chino0314 02-28-2011 09:38 PM

Sweet wheels.

04rx 03-08-2011 05:59 PM

ordered 17x9.75 +25 xxr 527

RX8inSTL 03-23-2011 09:36 PM

What made you want to get 17s? With that style wheel I think 18s would look way better but it will be nice to see someone with this style wheel either way.
I plan on getting the 18x8.75 +35 in a month or so.

Post some pics when you get them.

well i put my buddies 5zigen fno1rc on my car and loved the look his are 17x10 +25 so i figured my quarter of an inch would not ook to bad. and the style with alot of spokes i am weary on the look with a 17 in? but made my choice and hope it looks good. so i ordered them march 7th or so they still have not shiped yet they said they will start shipping on all orders beginning or mid april!! and i already have my tires sitting in the garage i want ma wheels! ha, but for sure will post pics as soon as i get em

I hate the stupid 1/4" sizing; What the hell is the point?

04rx 03-29-2011 05:24 PM

they say it for a more aggressive/wider stance.

tiltmode43 03-29-2011 06:26 PM

Silliness, for a more aggressive fit, might as well adjust offset rather than add awkward sizing. Next thing you know they will be offering wheels by the 1/8th inch for "premium stance tunability." Just seems like a marketing gimmick to me to try to make their wheels stand out a bit more and/or latch onto those looking to run a slightly wider wheel than others. I don't see the point, but who knows - maybe they are onto something.

Where is said thread? I tried searching and didn't see it.



Those xxr's look nice, the only thing I don't like about them is the dual lug fitment.

azzuro 03-29-2011 10:29 PM

Depending on the color of your car, bronze/gold looks super sick. XXR makes some pretty sexy wheels.
