2011 XXR 526 & 527 what do you guys think?

[filluptieu]

here we go, I went to the tire shop to late so its going on in the morning

[filluptieu]

No spacer, +20 offset staggered

[revcyanide]

lol glad i decided on 17's, that shit looks like a hot wheels car. maybe it just needs more low.
rims look good none-theless.

[supermariokartdrift]

staggered would look good, i think its the 18s in the front im not digging.

[filluptieu]

yea the fronts need to go lower but i am to lazy to remove the helper springs and its my daily so yup. also i dont want to roll the fenders.
and 17 for an s13 is fine, but 17 for a s14 is way to small, i use to run 17s

[revcyanide]

I have a zenki s14.
IMO 17's look way better than 18's.
especially if you dont wanna do fenderwork.
18;s look good flush and slammed. I dont understand why you buy 18's but not wanna roll fenders?
i can understand not wanting to pull em, but rolling them does nothing visibly.

I would never buy any wheel with the label XXR on them

If your going that route, you may as well just buy some Megan exhaust and Godspeed coilovers with a knock off bucket seat

good for you. not all of us need te37s/forged wheels @ 700/wheel for our dd's. id rather buy these cheap wheels that look good at a reasonable weight and save for some other stuff until i can get some vsxx's. coilovers and all that other stuff i would agree with you on though

Oh yea, cool guy, I run the tanabe coilovers with a blitz realize tt catback. also I have another set of work eurolines but just like the way these look. cant beat it for 500 shipped to my door... thats half the price of one BBS LM

HKS HIPERMAX coils. far better quality than more of the stuff most people on this forum run, cost about 2ce as much too.
bride zeta II bucket.
apexi exhaust, not very baller but still, far better than megan.

I will not cheap out on parts that matter a lot
however on wheels, I track my car. It isnt a show car, I dont give a shit about "baller rims" I know im just gonna ruin them at the track.
I curb a rim? awsome, i spend 150 bucks and i have a new one.

It's not how you stand by your car its how you race your car, you better learn that. But seriously who gives two shits about your parts list, buying more expensive parts in one area doesn't make up for you cheaping out in another.

The funny part is you will pay more for something like an exhaust, that you could cheap out on and never worry about it putting your life in danger, but you will knock the megans quality, when all it is, is an exhaust pipe that any local muffler shop could weld up.

Lol Its funny that you say you won't cheap out on parts that matter alot when last time I checked, wheels are one of those parts, pretty much anything keeping your car connected to the road does. Tires, wheels, and suspension are all things you shouldn't cheap out on. Just because it passes testing does not mean it is meant to handle the rigors of being on the track, I can't count enough times where I've seen broken wheels because of subpar quality issues, especially if you daily and track the same wheels. Many of you have this idea that if it breaks "I'll buy a new one for 150." Well if it does break because of all the "track time" you have put on it and it just so happens to be while you are doing some high speeds, you may not even have that opportunity to purchase another 150 dollar wheel. I find it hilarious when there is so much talk of people tracking their cars, yet they go with a 9 inch wide wheel and put a fucking 215 on it, there is no logic in the thought process of "I track it so I can cheap out on shit"

I'm not here to start a big war or anything, but giving you some food for thought, stop using "the track" as an excuse to buy cheap shit, if you like the wheels then you like the wheels. Nobody is going to talk shit if you just say "I bought them because I like how they look" I just find it funny that most of the people in here claim they won't cheap out on stuff that matters or that its because they track their cars. If you're really using them for the track then you are considering wheels for their weights, strength, and amount of rubber you can fit on them, not how hella flush they are or what other stupid fad is currently going on.

he mentioned megan exhaust thats why i included my exhaust.
I do not DD my car, daily driving a car and driving it hard is fucking stupid.
I like how they look, i like the price. AND i have NEVER seen a wheel break at the track out of no where, usually its from hitting a wall etc.
and people will grab 3000 eurolines over these which are by NO means lightweight (although much better contruction.)

Ive heard storied of wheels breaking rotas mostly but i have seen the pics but i have never seen them break in person.
would I like something nicer and more expensive?
sure!
but i cant justify spending 2k+ on rims alone when that money could be used for seat time. which is much more important to me.

I love that you posted this, and yet in your Sig your offering a reward for your NRG wheel that was stolen. So Megan, godspeed, and xxr are all below you but NRG is ok?

[supermariokartdrift]

Here they are.LOL

[buck01]

Heading home tonight to test fit my 527's with no tires will post up some pics tomorrow!

If I took off the tag would you buy them?

[Nick_04K]

LOL at DataXUnknown! See his info about the NRG hub in his signature.
NRG is just as bad as XXR, Megan, Godspeed etc.

More pics of black car ASAP! Issh looks hot.

[TougeKid1]

haha i was thinking about getting godspeeds at first but they dont meet the quality for a dd and track use. im saving up to get powerd by max coilovers i hear they are worth the money and you can go super low


supermariokartdrift it looks way better

[filluptieu]

Yup i dont mind rolling, my apologizes, I just dont want to pull it. Its my daily driver and the streets here in SA are pretty fucked up so thats why. Also im not going to lie, I do not want to take off the helper springs, to lazy. But i might be getting a version select kit so i think it will be sitting nice enough to NOT destroy the kit.

Sorry guys its not my track/drift/fuck up car...

But i just posted it so you guys can see it.

[MikeisNissan]

I swear these convo battles about quality and cheap repeats itself. One guy hates it another defends it. Vice versa. I ask, why do people care so much?

I have no idea Mike, I just wanted to post pics because so many people ask. And I just cant afford expensive wheels. Any ways I just wanted to help someone out that was planning on getting a set in my size.

[revcyanide]
