lol served

[revcyanide]

also LOL at people arguing saftey when people take out airbags, DD cars with harnesses, and remove bumper supports when doing front end swaps.

[yokotas13]

that affects you only. crappy wheels affect others when you hit a pothole and loose control cause it breaks..

wtf do you have foot deep potholes where you are from?
I tow my car to the track thanks. and even when i dont. no potholes.

Seriously show me a death report that was cause by an XXR coming about someone losing control and killing someone.
but driving a redicously slammed car, where you have to swerve to avoid pothills derbis etc but on legit wheels, THATS completly safe!
a lot of people on this site street drift or mountain roads. NOTHING unsafe about that.

[yokotas13]

cant lump everyone in a category

ALOT of the guys with these XXrs are with cars that that is all they have, no aero, no super slammed status....normal DD cars.
we are the exception, not the norm bro. get your head out of your ass please.

Ill buy a replica wheel as long as it at least passes the JWT or German equivalent of testing. otherwise, im not buying it. my life is worth more than 600 bucks.

only picture ive seen of rims breaking is usually rotas for one, and 2 either on the track, or in an accident where the car was totalled, (not caused by the rims, after effect of the car rolling. at that point a rim failure doesnt matter.

you sir pull your head out of YOUR ass please

[yokotas13]

lulz at you.

just becuase you dont see pictures, doesnt mean it doenst happen. i know three...count them three personal friends here in my home town that had rota, sportmax, and xxr. all hit a big ass pothole they couldnt avoid, one of whom i was riding with, and cracked the SHIT out of the wheel. ive hit the same pothole with my works, and had no problem....

first hand experience. You can do what you want, but i will, and continue encouraging others to do the safe thing when it comes to the 4 small contact patches on your car.

I dont care if its a knockoff....just make sure it is certified to SOME international standard...and not the philipino standard

[revcyanide]

cool and ill keep buying these, if i choose to.

lmao

[Sergio180sx]

I had 3 piece BBS'S and hit a pothole and the whole barrel cracked,and my buddy is running the 521 xxr's has hit the same pothole on the 10frwy and drifts th shit out of his car and they have held up great and I don't get why people are still saying the 527's are knock offs when they are not

[yokotas13]

its not that it is a knockoff...its that they meet no safety standards.

and how OLD are your BBSs?

hoy pare!? what ees wrong de pilipino standard hah?

sorry my inner fob came out for a second

[yokotas13]

rota is made over there arent they? it was a poke at manufacturing location lol

[zombiewolf513]

The 527s are pretty dope.

[Persona]

This is a never ending argument about opinion. There will always be expensive wheels and cheap wheels.

Buy the wheels you want end of story.

On topic though the only video I've ever seen circulating the net where a wheel breaks during spirited driving was one on a Mazda Speed 3 and I cant remember the brand of wheel. I'll try to find it.

blah blah blah
my friend smashed a curb going 50 and he still rolls on his xxr 962s on the daily..cant say the same for my other friends advans

[igreek]

Got mine in today(17x9.75 +25)...for those who want to see more pictures:









Didn't have it touching the ground, so don't mind the wheel gap

[supermariokartdrift]

No broken spokes, but still bad for a curb job. Spokes are probably stronger due to thickness.

[deathrace2000]

I don't dislike these because they're 'not from a reputable brand'. I just think they're ugly.

[supermariokartdrift]

DDs have to be pretty. Safety shouldn't be a problem unless your planning on doing some TIME ATTACKs around town.

[TougeKid1]

haha the features for the 526's

Features

• Carefully calculated offsets for “Hellaflush” fitment
• Triple plated two-piece chrome lip
• Genuine XXR logo center cap included

[supermariokartdrift]

XXR not being "reputable" is mostly an opinion, most people here say it as a fact because it's not RAYS, ADVAN, etc.

At least you know those center caps won't be stolen.

It's starting to sound like back in the day on this thread. All we can afford are LEVIS, but you ain't cool if your not rockin GIBEAU.

Maybe if your broke. But my daily is pretty and sitting on works. If anything you never skimp on the car which see's the most street duty. Your life depends more on the daily then it does your once a week or less driven play car. Plus your girlfriends will thankyou for picking them up in a car which doesnt rattle their asses off, have to have a removeable steering wheel to make it through the movie date, and gets pulled over at every corner due to being too loud or just janky looking from all the coats of spray paint on it.

Where the fuck does this attitude come from? Why wouldnt a DD be pretty? Why would you care more about the appearance of a track slut?

[supermariokartdrift]

I meant to put don't have to be pretty, and these are nice for the price. And I never said I cared more about what a track car looks like. Not everyone on here has a second weekend/track car/trailer queen. Some are just lookin for some affordable wheels. And about safety, people act like rims are gonna blow up just driving down the road just cause they're not high-end. If they didn't meet US standards they wouldn't be sold here. If you hit a curb or pot hole hard enough shits gonna happen no matter how much your rims cost. If people don't like the wheels, you shouldn't even bother with this thread.

LOL What kinda curb did that thing hit???? Its one thing to break under normal driving and you hit a pothole and a whole different thing to break from someone running into something, not to mention I sincerely doubt that it has anything to do with the thickness, maybe more along the lines that it is forged???
