Did you guys know? New XXR Wheel...

[ILoveMyRHS13]

Couldn't get in my driveway. Or on my lift. And I high-centered it coming out of a restaurant parking lot - not cool...

Totally cool, actually.

[mrgreeneyes]

i enjoy getting stuck on stuff and just being low/inconvenient in general.

its all in good fun, right greg?

right.

right.

Maybe I'm just too old for all the hassles.

Plus, I looked like a jackass asking someone to sit in my trunk so I could get traction, LOL.

I just want to destroy expensive tires and piss off people my age that turned boring too damn early in life.

Do you honestly think I'd have a 400hp car w 4 lugs? Dude.

Those wheels keep me in good with La Raza. They're staying put.

Keep in mind, my engine is dropped almost 2" lower in the subframe. I can't get AS low as you guys, for that reason alone (well, that and there's a limit to how far you can really "tuck" a 285...)

[Coeur de lion]

Por la RAZA!!!!!!

Very much agreed.

i forgot you dropped your motor. i added nismo mounts to RAISE mine so i could lower the car more

and theres plenty of members on here making good power on puny 4 lug hubs.

sadly

[Dazzla]

im sure they do have it in 5 lug, but if your 5 lug why would you get XXR.

QFT

[Matej]

These XXR wheels are HOT.

Since you're obviously not in the automotive industry, and you obviously haven't been to SEMA, your opinion is pretty much uninformed, and as such, irrelevant.

You wouldn't "chew out" anything. But if you were stupid enough to try, I WOULD reach out to the millions of people that view this site every year and tell them how your company behaves at a TRADE SHOW (a convenient detail you missed).

You also didn't read the original thread.

Nothing in their booth was "unreleased".

Since you're an expert, show me an "original" design from XXR.

I'll be waiting.

You are right. I am not in the auto industry and have never been to SEMA. My opinion is uninformed and irrelevant. But how many other booths let you take pictures of their products? Heck, I can't remember the last restaurant I went to where I didn't get hassled for taking pictures. And that is of people in my party... not like the decor or anything that they were selling. For the record, I did say "seems legit". That implies that I acknowledge that I am uninformed, but still have an opinion on the information that I do have.

I don't know all the wheels in the world... but a lot of the uglier sportmax wheels are original as far as I know... 508, 001, 683 etc....

However, there's other reasons they are "dirt cheap". Check out the raw material used. Put a set on a Hunter 9700 and check runout. Check the balance. Low-quality castoff aluminum, sloppy high-volume castings, and quickie machining.

Had that one covered already... that's what I meant by "one of the many reasons"

That is ONE OF THE MANY REASONS why these wheels are dirt cheap.

I don't think anyone thought I was saying that RAYS cost 8 times as much because they have specific bolt patterns.

DAMN

Even the guys in Japan are running them now!

Hotness! New wheel trend of 2010.

[E7-S14]

this thread is turning to be pretty great

[mrgreeneyes]

fitment on that black 14 is ON POINT.

for all you clowns, those are the gullflames not these wheels. dont go buy these and expect THAT stance without work

I remember those pictures being straight out of the Greddy advertisments. I can't believe anyone would believe those pictures were of the XXR's. Can't you see there aren't a million lugs on those wheels.

[CkrooK]

[simmode1]

Not bad, CkrooK. Post specs & more/bigger pics, plz.

Wait wait wait... Kouki front w/ lip, chuki sides and these XXR wheels...?

[AZhitman]

But how many other booths let you take pictures of their products?

All of them. Seeing someone without a camera at SEMA is pretty rare.

In fact, just as an aside, one of my favorite parts of the event is the "New Product Showcase", which is literally THOUSANDS of new goodies that haven't hit the market yet.

As you can imagine, those get photographed a LOT. No issue.

Heck, I can't remember the last restaurant I went to where I didn't get hassled for taking pictures. And that is of people in my party...

Then you need to tell someone to pound sand in their a** with a shovel.

If I'm ever out to dinner with you, I'll take care of that s***. Let some restaurant worker say something about me taking pictures and see what happens.

Hell, you should come to a NICO pre-meet dinner, we take TONS of pictures (most of them are of Torry drinking and making retarded faces).

I don't know all the wheels in the world... but a lot of the uglier sportmax wheels are original as far as I know... 508, 001, 683 etc....

You may have a point there - Those are some seriously hideous designs. They're likely another company's design with a slight twist, but I doubt anyone wants to replicate THAT look. Damn, those are fugly.

Fact.

Immense sarcasm, my friend. I, and Matej know better. I was just playing along with his silly joke.

[Didderson]

I has xxr.... I hit a tree b4... wheel still in tact and balanced and not exploding..Idk I've had the car up to the factory ecu sr cutoff before, but not recently. Seems pretty well balanced for the avg joe daily driver car. I like the new style. It's a bit bland, but its the sizing that counts.If you don't like the centercaps then paint em like I did... Looks 109x better.

[simmode1]

Oh shizz... new wheel for 2010.

XXR 521 18x10+25 5x114.3 for less than $130. (four lug sizes suck)

Imagine these in back with 17x9+20 006's up front... Of course, that would mean you'd be 4 lug in the front and 5 lug in the back... lol

[s14derrick]

The new designs are pretty sweet. The 521 remind me of vs-xx But... wtf up with crappy offsets and only making good sizes for the 5 lug? They would sell like crazy if the good sizes were for the 4 lug as well

[simmode1]

But... wtf up with crappy offsets and only making good sizes for the 5 lug? They would sell like crazy if the good sizes were for the 4 lug as well

It's XXR. They alienate their consumers so they don't really know who their demographic is...

[ScrapMetal]

I haz XXR wheels...

[Ninjamasta]

So whats the difference between this and MB Battle? Has anyone got a set of these wheels yet? How do they fit? XXr's are dirt cheap but MB's are not too expensive either.

[s14derrick]

hmm.. if im going to have to go 5 lug for decent sizes ill just stick to saving for some legit wheels. if they make decent four lug sizes i would just get those

[JXN]

DID YOU KNOW....

Sonic Motor(forum vendor) is taking pre-order for these new XXR wheels.

zer...icing

[Magnum375 Jr.]

I already preordered these wheels, the 522's, with 17x9 +25 front, and 18x9.5 +25 in the rear. Can't wait to get em, will be wayyyy better then my boring s14 wheels.
