Default Wheel Help

Ok I have been looking at wheels for the past couple days now trying to find the right ones. In addition, I'm trying to find the right ones with the correct specs so it looks good on my car.

Anyhow, I just wanted to get others vote/opinion on what they like.

Here we go:

1) xxr 962 --> probably going to run these in the Flat black with red in a 18x9.5 +35

2) xxr 527 --> Probably would run these in a 18x9.75 +35 in either a flat black or chromium black

3) xxr 526 --> Probably going to run these in a 18x9 +35. I wanted to do a 18x10.5 +35 in rear, but I hear that it will stick out a lot & require a lot of work to make it work. Also going with Black with mirrored lip

4) xxr 522 --> These I could either run a 18x8.5 or a 19x8.5 in either flat black or chromium black.

5) xxr 009 --> Now I found these on blowout clearance for $100 a wheel, but what do you think of the looks? Would run a 18x8.5 +35

6) Five AD R5:F --> Would run these in a 19x8.5 +30 in gunmetal if I dropped the coins to do it

If you have suggestions for other wheels, please give them to me so I can check them out. I have seen tons that I love, but having a hard time justifying that I spend $400+ per wheel

I could use any help possible, but end goal is flush to hella flush look. I do plan to get coil overs in the future so I have to take that into consideration.

Appreciate the help

OK, I like the 522's, and the 527's. I think they would look good in gold on your car too. I'm not into the chrome lips myself, which is why I got the wheels I got for my car.

Of course I'm going with the. Five AD, I just don't like the look of the bent spoke of the XXRs.

962 as long as you stay with these in the Flat black with red.

522 as 19s

5AD is a givin.


I've always liked the Rota P45, they come in flat black with red also, they look even better with a low offset.

any other suggestions other than xxrs.....what kind of wheel are you looking for....spokes,lip,wide,19s....etc.

The look now is wide wheels with stretch,and some poking of the wheel.....I think a set of 9s front and 10s back would look sick....

I"m not sure yet - I know at the least I would like to be flush

I think I want to go up to 19's if I can find some that work. I don't think I want to go with the whole stretch/poke look of the tires, I just want a pretty aggressive look and at least flush.

I'm having a hard time deciding if I want to do the concave wheels or do ones with lips. If I do lips, then yes I like to do a 9 up front and 10 in the rear
