Not sure if you guys have see this yet but here are a few pictures of the new xxr's mounted on a civic and cressida just to have an idea.

















I think those spokes stick out a little too much. What do you guys think? Im hoping that the 17's would look better.. but what do i care? Im 4 lug

^ hahaha true story. I don't really like those wheels the whole concept of the spokes sticking out farther then the rim itself is unpleasing to the eye.

Ive heard someone say it looks like a jelly fish in mid-swim

I was hoping it was only the picture angles that xxr took of the wheel that made it look like a spider. I guess it really is that far out of the rim All well..

Eh, I'm on the fence.

I like the concave, but the spokes come out too far from the lip for my liking.

4-lug cars have the BEST wheel choices, IMO. All my favorite wheels are 4x114.3 only.

I think they overdid it a bit. The rota grids look better imo. But that civic looks pretty clean with them

Yeah alot of wheel choices but not great sizes. Not too many 4 lug 18's I think? Ill have to see these on an s chassis to make a FINAL judgment. But so far its not looking to great.

The dual-four-spokes on the rear of the Cressida look so much better than the XXRs IMO.

The civic looks good. I would like to have an SI as a daily. I really can't get past how ugly the cressida is to think about how the wheels look. I know alot of people dig those cars to each his own I just don't like them. I agree the wheels would look better if the spoke didn't stick out past lip.

Yeah, I meant for an EK or MX73, which is what he posted up. Neither of those cars should be going above 16".

Honestly, if I still had an S13, I'd probably be rolling like 14" SSR Bright Speeds or something, super wide and stretched, with flares. I like tiny wheels

Only if you consider sticking out of the car, even after setting stupid camber angles just to make them fit a good fitment.
