Yeah I am not 100% on these. They look cool, but I am not really digging the thick spokes at a distance but I like them up close, strange. Heh, but I am a 504 fan myself... I also like the 002's in 15's.

Nice rims for sure. I like the cleaner looking design over my 501's, wish I could see some better pics from less of an angle to be sure though.

those are nice they also come staggerd in 16's
16x8 zero rear 16x7 +15 front

That alone would make them better than the 501's.

Sounds like these would be awesome on the xB.

Somehow skipped right over the link up above the first time reading through.

Thanks for not flaming me for that. :D


Also, from one of his auctions they would cost about $405-$415 shipped.

they might do a 15x7 but not that I know of yet, and I have not seen the 15 in anything other then the 15x8. Give them some time they may , jut like they did with the 002's

yeah.....



or just get correct offset that fits just right without having to camber thus ruining tires and severyly emptying pockets if you're a daily driver.


as well as being less safe.

yes it looks good , yes it can make or break a fitment.

I agree with most of that, but with my OTG shims, I haven't noticed any crazy tire wear, and how is it less safe? Haven't noticed any of thing that would suggest that.

with 5 or more degrees camber you have smaller contact patch .



I know when i had front camber my car was VERY squirrelly on the freeway.



I just took my friends otg camber plates off because of the disadvantage of swapping tires side to side for him.

987KEITH
01-31-2008, 01:08 PM
yeah thats the only thing I don't like about my camber is I can't rotate my tires side to side. good call, maybe my plates will be for sale soon....

Your all assuming we are driving xB's that might get these wheels :) No xA fender flares...

PS: not serious really :) But we would prob. need to roll the fenders.

they come in 15x7 and 16x7 +15 would the xA's need to roll fenders for that offset???

It depends. I know that some one with 15's staggered 002's are rolled.

Maybe they are 16's.... I need to find out.

Thank you,

I am running 185/60/15s

The snow tires are altimax arctics the rubber softens as the temp drops.


I took a semi rear shot earlier today, check it out, if you need another showing both sides let me know.

after seeing these i know i will rub front and back even with a smaller profile tire but i bet the staggered 16s would looks sick with a decent drop (decent meaning slammed sitting like 2 or 3 inches off the ground all the way around)

Is that a silverstar blue turn signal bulb in your tail light? Looks nice, I'm not a fan of the Sportmax look, seems like more of a mini-truck thing, but am glad you kept it silver. What would the performance advantage be? Increased width would give increased traction on the front but I can't even get them to spin with 7.5", I would say weight savings with a smaller rim but those look very heavy.

the blue bulb is actually for my reverse lights.....

totally agree with the mini truck look.....I just happen to dig on mini trucks...lol...what can I say I am a product of the late 70s early 80s, always loved mini trucks.

I actually lost width I was running 215/35/18s and am now running 185/60/15s however I went from a track tire to a snow tire, so traction has improved.

My tires will spin with these new tires, and the old, strange that yours wouldnt........

...As far as weight savings the 504s I was running are 26 pounds and the new XXRs are 17 pounds...so right off the bat I lost an extra 36 pounds all the way around all most 10 pounds a wheel.....dont know if there is a weight difference between tires or not.....

I have an automatic and can't find a higher stall torque convertor, so it's tough to break traction even with a supercharger, I have 17x7.5 Enkei EV06's. The stock 16" wheels were very easy to though, I used the traction control indicator light to gauge my speed in turns with the stock ones on :rofl: Don't do that now since I already ate one set of tires on the new rims in under 12k miles and replacements are expensive. Suprised in the weight savings, is the inside of the spokes hollowed out or are those solid?

I was surprised at the weight difference too.

as far as the spokes go they are mostly solid, there is a concave divit on the inside, but its not much to speak of....

Josh,
they weight diff is from 18's (lots of dense metal) to 15's (less metal)
the weight diff in tires isn't much because rubber is not as dense and you stretched a smaller tire.
I've seen 215/50/15's and 205/50/15's run on that size rim pretty regularly
either way those are nice and the weight /better gas mileage is a bonus
