i want to buy some wheels around the first of the year. but when i was looking i saw 2 wheels that i liked. i just wanted to see what you think of them.
first is XXR 526 Chromium Black
17x9 25 front or 17x9 35 front
17x10 20 rear or 17x9 25 rear


second is XXR 527 Chromium Black
18x8 20 front
18x9 20 rear

RS2_1823

I like the 1st ones. I like the super deep lip on them over the 2nd set. Both sets will look good with the right drop.

the first one def. looks like a way lower offset than anything in the 20s or 30s

no they are not the actual picture of the size and offset, and i know what you mean davedavetc i was going to get SSR vienna dish 2 but i been just thinking of how they would look on my TC because i was going to probably get some coilovers when i get the wheels and then drop it low then my Stechs, but not that much ohio roads suck bad were i am at.

my Massachusetts roads are horrible but i just know where to drive to get the least horrible conditions... just after my last sets of wheels (Volk (x2), SSR, and AME) i cant see myself getting a cheap set like these, infact i have no clue what i want anymore lol.

i know what you mean, this wil be the first set of wheels i would buy for my car and i want them to be looking good on my car, and i dont want to buy that cheap of wheels because i heared storys about people hitting a pot hole and the wheel splits in half.

check the classifieds out here, there are a lot of nice wheels for sale here for cheap, id jump on them but they are all decent fitment, i want aggressive fitment...

that is where i saw the SSR vienna dish 2 at, i might jump on them in 3 weeks if they are still there. if not i will get the XXR 526

I am a bigger fan of the second pic the 527's I have always been partial to wheels where the spokes flow all the way to the edge of the rim, Makes them look bigger for one thing

well i emails nlmotoring.com to ask a couple question about the XXR 526.
1. what was the lip size on the 17x10 and 17x9
2. how much the weigh
3. an to see if they can send me some pictures of them
they emailed me back and just said that they will be getting the first shipment of them late january so i have to try back later and ask the same thing over. but i already calculated everything out for the wheels/tires it should be no more than $1100 for them, plus i am still looking at coilovers
