If you think the 18x10.5 face is going to be different than the 20x11 face, you're kidding yourself.

[Pandapants]

The 527 still have wack ass sizes

[drunkmunky]

May I ask what you find so bad about the face of the 526? I think it looks like vs-xx with a mild spoke design change.

I like it. And I'd rather pay 600 bucks for these, than 2500 because the rims say 'work'.

Look at it, it's convex, not flat like vsxx or any other good-looking dished wheel.

Haha you referred to the word stanced as if it was a verb or action....

Im hella gonna start stancing all my cars FTW...

[nippon240]

Damn...getting rid of my 522's yesterday!!

[simmode1]

You know, I kinda like the convex effect of the wide 526's. I think it'll give the wheel a more textured/contoured look or dome-like effect when in motion. At least they aren't convexed as bad as Godspeed Omega's...


I want to stagger the 17x10+20's and the 18x10.5+20's with some 245's and 265's. Wouldn't it be a miracle though, if these wheels come out to be lighter than 926's? That would be nice.

I wouldn't be surprised if they're in the 25lb+ category like the 962's were, anything in this price range and this size isn't going to be light.

Convex never looks good on a wheel but I guess to each their own, the primary problem I would assume may be BBK clearance, I know that 20xwhatever up there is clearing but is it the same for the smaller sizes? Well if you can afford a BBK you can afford wheels to fit them i guess.

You know I've never heard of anyone putting on heavier wheels to get power to the ground Apparently all those high end cars with forged lightweight wheels are doing it wrong.

[GeneStarWindGSW]

talked to NLmotoring & SonicMotoring, they are both taking preorders, won't be out till end of jan, mid feb.

[KAs14slider]

Anyone on here pre-order either the 527 or the 526 yet and are planning to have them fit nice on an s14? I want to see some pics before I buy these.

[roboticnissan]

Damn! The 526 s are dope!

[teh smithers]

To the people talking crap on Works- you do realize that the extra money you spend goes into a high quality, lightweight wheel, right?

But for budget wheels, these are pretty nice. Finally getting some decent specs in production.

QFT on the Works, but I can understand the appeal in affordable wheels, especially if you run them into the ground. One thing I do like though is that it seems lke they actually listen to their customer base unlike many higher end companies that have the "Take it or leave it" attitude.

[4DOOR_LIFE]

i wish the face of the 526's were flat rather than having that positive concave design. would look way better.

the 527's look cool they just need better sizing

[all show no go]

Am I the only one that gets the feeling that sport max is "trying too hard" with the excessive concave of the 526 wheel? It has way more than the TC105-N & gives it away that they are replicas.

I felt the same with their last wheel, their Gullflame Gravity Rep.. the 522 wheel. Too much concave, it looks silly.

I'll pass on both wheels.

[Corbic]

These and Enjukus new wheels almost make me wish I saved the money and kept my 4 lugs

This is one of the most retarded things I have ever seen on an internet forum.

The 527 is the concave wheel. The 526 is the lipped one. IMO, it looks more like XXR realized how bad they fucked up on the ugly ass 522 and designed the 527 to make us forget it. I like both these new wheels. I don't think there's anything else in their price range that looks better. Just buy a set and beat the hell out of 'em...lol

[T.O.D.]

Not bad looking for some cheap beaters i guess.

[240SX007]

I like the 527's, will look sick on my s13 hatch
