the grids to me look better than the 522's because the 522's the spokes poke out farther then the rim lip does which means thatif you curb check them its gona eff up th e spoke which could possibly bend the rims and cause vibrations/air leaks.

16" wheel should be at least 8" wide. 17" should be 9" wide, and 18" should be 10" wide.

That web site doesn't even give the offset of the wheel, but it's more than likely going to look horrible.

Do yourself a favor and get something wider with a lower offset.

^^^ That's what I always think when someone says rims, but allegedly "rims" means wheels AND tires. Idk.

If enough idiots repeat the same wrong info, it becomes their 'truth'. But the truely informed will always know the actual truth. Stick to your guns. Wheels and tires are correct. Rims are not correct.

Welcome to the forums, bro-ham. Might want a little bit of thick skin, there are a lot of e-thugs/board queens floating around.
If you're liking the XXR, you might want to check out www.nlmotoring.com
They have more sizes than most sites for that brand, including more 15/16" wheels and more colors.

Good luck.
