XXR Rims (http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-Sportmax-Wheels-s/32.htm)

Saw a thread about these on 8thcivic. Anyone ever buy a set ? Im curious to know what RSers think about it

[XplicitLuder]

most ppl will not like cus of "knockoff" and which wheel are you specifically looking at man ?

[Araaadi]

Looking at the 962s.

Honestly, I don't even know what shoes I want for my car, I've been into RPF1 but the colour I want doesn't come in the offset and size I want, plus a lot of people already have them.

[Jgresch]

euro_rsn had the 962s....

[XplicitLuder]

nvm ,read it wrong

[jpark]

i dont mind xxr's, would rock them without the centercaps though lol

[apl_lb]

I'm on 521s and am pretty happy with them. No complaints here, good cheap rims that you can just spray bomb when you get bored of them.

[satek]

I rock 002s and I haven't died yet :lawl:

[Araaadi]

Im debaiting between the 527's or the 962's in either chromium black or gold. Might just go with silver rpf1's but they are kinda boring to me now.

[Ikkaku]

A lot of people buy rpf1's because they're one of the flagships of light weight rims. If you only care about the aesthetics, then yes I suggest you going with other rims.

Most people buy RPF-1's because of their weight/track record to price ratio, far from a "flagship" wheel but it gets the job done well.

For a street wheel I wouldn't worry too much about XXR's or most popular cheaper brands for that matter

[DiiCii]

rocking 522's, no complaints yet! tracked them as well. i'm looking for 502's for the spring though :fullofwin:

RPF-1's look pretty good if you can fit 9" or wider.

[icemiko]

What car is this for? Buy my Weds SA-70's!

I had some 501s before quality was "lets just say you get what you pay for", for some reason they drilled a very small holes for lug nuts so with certain lugs you can't get your socket in tighten the nuts, ie only the nut will go in but since the hole is so small you can't get your normal socket in or your wheel lock nut key in so I couldn't use my wheel lock. Another thing was I dropped my wheel nut from the stud area, and when the nut hit my lip it left a pretty big dent on the lip :fuuuuu:

but yea over all as beater wheels for winter use or you just want to roll around town its a pretty good deal but I wouldn't recommend them if your anal about quality

[ajax]

I had 962's on my civic and all though they were wide they didn't look as good as I thought they would. The 527's I think they are look really good. But just got with 17x9 rpf1's and call it a day.

I have a set of wheels that came with tuner lugs which use an allen key. When I tried to use them the wheel studs were so long that it would push allen key out before I could torque the wheel down :fuuuuu: I ended up using smaller open ended lug nuts and thin walled socket. As for knockoffs, I don't think anyone cares as long as you aren't trying to pass them off as the original authentic versions. Originally does not come cheap.

527 Flat Black

I put a sticker over the centers, looks quite nice.
http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a267/aznebonix/2000%20ITR%20-%20Kaori/IMG_3992.jpg

and yes, the bolt holes are quite small, I couldn't use my blox lugs, and had to get a set of mutekis.
And the key for the lugs fits, but the one for my lock nut didn't! so I got it machined down at work. Works fine now, just never gun them.

[DiiCii]

a lot of people seem to go with rpf1's after owning xxr's LOL

[Araaadi]

DiiCii lemme know when your ordering yours, maybe of we order together we can get cheaper shipping.

Im thinking i want the 527's in 17x8.25 + 35 for the front and 17x8. 25 + 25 for the rear so i can have a little poke on the rear plus the rear would look a little more concave. What do you guys think?

Here's a good example of a Cheap wheels ruining a perfectly good car.

He bought this car, looking like this.

And managed to fuck it up, by throwing on shit wheels.

His excuse?
i do shit to piss ppl off cause it fun to me
and everyone has there own opinion and no of yours matter to me

For the same price as a new set of XXR's or whatever, you could find used Works/SSR/Volks, and they'll look 100 times better.

[tofu1413]

its to one taste. but man those color combos dont work

Lol that's a faggy comment and he has pretty poor taste in matching his wheels with his car, but I don't know where you could locally find a set of works/volks locally (with ease) for $400-500 in decent condition

I think for every example of cars "ruined" by cheap wheels you can find just as many (if not more) of cars that look good with cheap wheels. Not arguing that a set of volks/works wouldn't look better though just trying to be fair.

[CorneringArtist]

You CAN find decent used wheels for the price of a new set of XXR's, but if they aren't beat to shit, the width/offset/style is not going to be great. The occasional diamond in the rough does come up.

Guy with the comment is a stupid prick and is probably covering up for the fact he can't park without curbing his wheels.

[tofu1413]

i bought my watanabe rs for $200 a set. crappy fitment, 14x6 20+ offset. a 15x9, 15x7.5 set with -39 and 0 offset would run almost $2000 used! and would need refinishing

i have a friend selling a set of volk av3's for $250 :lol

[jeepwreck]

Araaadi, what car do you drive? Im assuming its an 8thGen civic..

I had 962s before and they could look amazing depending on car and style. Just make sure you get the right wheel/tire size. Generally speaking certain wheels will look better on specific cars so Research and do Comparisons on for any wheel/mod.

As for that 240 man thats just a bad combo..

[Araaadi]

Yepp 8th gen civic coupe in taffetta white.

Im pretty dead set on the 527's. Im leaning towards chromium black in 17 x 8.25 + 35, with 17 x 8.25 + 25 on the rear. Or maybe just +25 or + 35 all around, I am gladly open to suggestions and comments because I am very new at this.

Maybe you can try on my xxr's and see how they fit. Then you'll know which offset you'll want.

Got the 527's 17x8.25 +25 in chromium black on my gf's mini cooper s and it's a good wheel! Balanced out quite well too on the wheel balancer.

Discount tire will price match and beat NL motoring so make sure to shop around!
