It's dumb, but XXR is trying to cash in on current trends so they can't really be blamed.

Eagerly awaiting the 17x10 4 lug 526's. Sucks that they're gonna be on EVERY cheap bastards car eventually, though.

Hopefully more companies will follow suit with inexpensive 4 lug wheels in similar sizes. Maybe even some 18x9.5 or 18x10's too.

anyway, my problem with XXR/rota isn't that they're affordable (hey, it's cool that they're pricing shit within reach of the average 240 owner), but that they're straight knockoffs of other wheels -- support the companies that actually put time, money and effort into making cool shit. stop the copy lulz

For that I want some damn wide wheels in the back that are under $200, look decent, bolt on to my hubs and are easily replaced if bent.
You're making your 22 year old nissans pathetic resale value go down even more with the addition of those ugly ass wheels do it so I can laugh at you

They are in fact one and the same now, as time goes on it has become harder to tell the difference.

If he we talking about 5-lug wheels, then yes, you'd be correct.
Some foxbodys were 4x114.3. Along with older falons and such. That is why American racing, centerlines and so on have 4x114.3 avali.

A ricer has more money than taste, a zilvian has exponentially more time than money or taste.

You sure about all that? I hope not, because you are not entirely correct.
Early 6-banger Mustangs, Falcons, and Mavericks were 4x4.5, yes.
None of the fox body cars used 4x4.5 at all. The were all 4x4.25(108mm), save for the 5-lug models which were, obviously, 5x4.5(114.3mm).
Knowledge is power.

/Mustang talk.

Someone really needs to start keeping a record of Yuta quotes. I can remember like 3 great ones off the top of my head.

I went ahead and ordered a set, 17x9.75 for the fronts and rears, going with Nitto NT05R 275/40/17 drag radials out back and not sure what size yet but Nitto NT05 (street version) on the fronts. Planning on near zero camber rear and either pulled fenders or if necessary welded on steel flares..drag optimized setup not the usual Zilvia drift business.

Wow, that's a big picture

Dude, do you have any idea how many car companies rip off each other? I saw a Camry the other day with stock Toyota rims that looked almost identical to CR-Kai's. I wish I would have taken a picture...
Aaaand one could make the argument that VS-KF's are rip offs of Cragar SS's from the 60's, or even Torque Thrusts. And lets not forget how the Chrysler 300 looks like a Phantom.
So lets come up with a new argument shall we?

Dudeee the chrysler 300 is not a knock of the phantom it's a recreation of the 57 classic... I think u just take what comedians say as facts.... I think it was Kat Williams making fun of knock off
