lol that's my saying for wheels. people just need to start saying KNOCK OFFS not FAKES because a wheel is a wheel. wheels are like cars there's differences in quality, size, price, ect... you just get what you pay for...bmw m5 vs ford focus,ect...

sorry i dont usually jump in wheel debates but tired of hearing the same crap of calling them fakes. just call the damn things knock offs

 

Did you know what i was getting at???
Thank you

 

I got such a good deal on these when I bought them. I couldn't pass it up. They're 18x9, I forgot the offsets. I picked them up for $350 for all 4 with two worn drift tires in the back, and two 40% drift tires in the rear.[/quote]

these were suppose to be my next purchase but change of plans ;P

 

I had 16" Rota Slipstreams on my 98 Civic EX for 9.5 years which are the same exact Rota style that was in a pic posted on page 2. Rota Slipstream are a knockoff of Regamaster Evo. Now there's absolutely no reason to pay big money to get the original for a daily driver vehicle that isn't racing.

Kind of the same reason why you don't need Z rated tires if you aren't racing.

 

I almost typed out a reply to the "fake wheel" posts in this thread, but I changed my mind.


Those xxr's look great, and for the price, you can't beat them!

I might be picking up a set once I get the an engine management for my descendant kit, so I can run some 285's on the xxr's, as they come in 10" widths.

I really don't want to sell my kosei K1's though. If only they were wider.

 

XXR 530
18 x 8.75
Chromium Black


Yup I believe my knock offs look good


As far as for that real/fake books... I'd still tap that.

nice box junkie! considered those xxr 530's for a while before i went with enkei raijin

 

Thanks man, I've still got a few things on the way. I got some seamless visors on the way. Also, bought a new grill from grillcraft in black, which I haven't installed since I want to put 4 fog lights behind it; and pretty soon some TRD springs, and a viper 5704v alarm w/ a trunk pop, tilt sensor, and a window automization kit that will be installed later this week.

I have a set of hotchkis springs for sale if you're interested. Awesome drop, and really helped the xB's handling.

 

How much is the drop on front/rear? How much are you asking for ? You got pics?

POS gravity cast xxr wheels are not the same as the high quality low-pressure cast wheels from enkei

do your research people....

 

Whats the deal with the cheap wheel haters, personally I like to buy wheels that are cheap and spend more money on high end tires, that's what really important after all.

also if my wheels get stolen or curb rashed its not that big a deal, not to mention if you lose the centercaps or whatever, I like those XXR wheels, who cares if they are cheap?

 

^^^not gonna lie i've been seeing a lot of people lately on forums or fb who spend all the $ on the wheels but use some of the cheapest tires (some off brand stuff i've never heard of ). i'd def be spending $ on quality tires as well because you blow out a tire there goes the wheel

 

What design are these I'd like to get a set

 

I believe they are the XXR 006

The 526 don't look too bad either

Or if you like the hardware showing this is an option

damn wish there was more wheel pics in here XXR has come a long ___ way. I have linea corse on my acura and they are light and pretty damn strong not one bend and i got them used so god knows how many miles they have seen. haters gonna hate thats all but hopefully more peeps post pics.

 

Basically. they are mad, because they spent a TON of money on wheels, because other people told them fake wheels are lame, and they wanted others to approve of their car.

But some people buy the wheels THEY want, and could care less what other people say/hate on about their car. They also saved $1200-$2400 by not buying "real" used wheels. I think that has alot to do with why they are mad.

This coming from the guy who has old, ooold Kosei k1's, only because I love the style, and no one makes a "knock off" of them.

Take everything I said with a grain of salt, this is only my opinion, and is based off of years of watching vw guys bash on people's "fake" wheels, while driving cars worth $2000, with racelands, the cheapest tires they could find, and wheels worth $2400.

 

Nothing wrong with replica wheels as long as you aren't doing any serious racing on them.

Do you really have to wear brand name jeans as opposed to knockoff brands that are still just plain ole jeans?

 

ive seen plenty of drift and track cars use xxrs i wouldn't call them super cheap not like drags or some other weird stuff.
