so im trying to be baller on a budget and im deciding between the xxr 521's 18x10 +25 in gold or xxr 526 18x10.5 +20 and have them resprayed in gold. if i had the money, id just get work vs-xx wheels and call it a day.

heres the 521's. i like them but the lip is weird looking.

I just got my wheels coated. 405 bucks.... so keep that in mind. Also at those widths and offset you need to space the front... and the rear so you don't look retarded. I like the 521's better, but lol at the fake bolts

Both are good (as far as cheap replicas go...), IMO. But I think the 526's are a no brainer in this contest. They're half an inch wider and have a slighly lower offset...

In my opinion, the 526s just look boring. The 521's have a lot more going on, even though they're not true 2 piece wheels.

Your avatar says you have an S14. Here's a pic of a Kouki with them. I think they look great.

yea they look pretty good, i just like the vs-xx sizes and offsets better plus the lip looks better IMO. i didnt think id ever be paying over 2 grand for a set of wheels without tires though... gotta pay to play i guess

if u got the money, go for the works... if not the 526 look better than the 521...the lip on the 526s makes the wheel look so much wider/deeper also..
