Oh my goodness. Those are sexy.

[s13dan]

That is a nioce concave IMO...

[evo2s14]

Can't decide if I wanna do a 5lug conversion anymore since these are offered in decent sizes... I would like to run 18s though :|

[khmer1]

like i said before are these out to order or is there a date for when they will be released

My pants are quite tight at the moment. Man those are sexy. I really want the 4th from the top, Matte Black.

XXR has made a hit with these wheels.. Them and NL motoring are going to make a lot of money in the next 2-3 months.

That's why these wheels are so appealing to me though. Good sizing, 4lug, and decent price. I WANT to run 17x10 all around but it seems like that size up front could cause problems, so the next best thing would be 17x9 +25 but they're 5lug. lol

Dude, this is the only point of having Megan coilovers, IMO. Buy two of the 17x10+20 and the Megan 25mm extended brackets that I posted on the previous page for you and do a test fit.

If it works, great, buy two more 17x10's. If it doesn't work, buy yourself two 4 lug 17x9+20 XXR 006's for the fronts. The 006's and the 526's look similar enough to pull it off and fool the untrained eye anyway.



Think outside the box, mane! Ain't nuthing wrong with staying 4 lug!

cheap rims are one thing......mis-matched cheap rims=FAIL

sooooooo dope

Oh god shut up. If you have the vision, style and balls to pull it off... then go for it.



You could craft the same look with Rotas and Varrstoens. It's all about having enough foresight to pick styles that compliment each other instead of clashing with each other. Plus, they're 240's... who gives a fuck?

True, I'll probably end up buying a pair to test fit. Why didn't I think of that. haha. I have 25mm spacers on deck so I really wouldn't mind grabbing the +35, but I wanted that fat ass lip all around. Yum.

[evo2s14]

When are these suppose to be released?

I don't know why, but it seems like you're not understanding me. You have Megan Track coilovers. Megan makes extanded brackets that replace the ones that are currently on your coilovers. These extended brackets give you 25mm more backspace than normal.

So, in theory, if your Megan's previously barely cleared 17x9.5+12 wheels, with the extra 25mm extended brackets, you would gain an extra 25mm of space between your wheel and coilover without pushing the wheel any closer to/or past the fender. The brackets were created SO YOU DON'T NEED TO USE SPACERS!!!

If you buy the 17x10+20 wheels and use 25mm spacers, that gives you effectively 17x10-5 wheels. That's wide-fender, rubberband tire & rediculous camber territory. If thats what you want... fine. But me? I'm aiming at the same wheels with 245/40 tires fitting under stock fenders. This is the reason those Megan extended brackets exist...

Not sure how, but you completely missed the point I was making. No, I was showing Nismoman that a mixed and matched set of wheels can look good if you put thought into it... Like mixing and matching 17x9+20 006's with 17x10+20 526's. Just showing ppl more options.

[StryfeS13]

I have to agree with simmode1. If you have a set of wheels that look relatively the same, then they can look good paired together.

Nahhh man, It's nothing but a mutual misunderstanding.

I meant IF I bitch ouot an go for the 17x9 +35, I have a 25mm spacer to make an effective 17x9 +10. No way I'd rock 17x10 -5, lol.

Oooooooh... Gotcha. Carry on... lol

[Skyn]

17x10+20 all 4 corners stock body i will do it lol also 4 lugggggggg

[simmode1]

I would do the 17x10 at all four corners, but the wheel fitment treads around here have ruined me... I gotta go 5 lug in the back, cuz I need the 18x10.5 with 265 rubber in my life!

I stay four lug up front since there's still other cool 17" four lug wheels I wanna mix and match with, like 17x9.5+12 P45R's with 18x10+15 Grids or 18x10.5+12 Varrstoens.

[matts13vert]

fuck those 527 are sick! 527>battlez fosho...

[Sergio180sx]

OMG!!! they look pimp!! i cant wait for sonic motoring to call me to pick mine up!! i ordered the 4th one on top fuck yea im excited to throw my brembos on with these!!

HIGH FIVEAAAA!

My s14 was running 9.5's rear and 8.5's front with a 25 mm spacer all around. 1 inch pull...zero camber...completely doable. more camber=more room to fit wheel.

s13's are harder to fit...but a little heat...and a baseball bat does wonders on metal

[ReaperBJJ]

Going to pick up some 17x10 4-lug 526 all around for sure now. I was about to go 5 lug but if I stay 4 lug I can still use the 10,000 extra 4 lug wheels I have sitting around. I just hope they'll fit over the custom Wilwood big brake set-up I'm planning on running up front.

well broke ass people that do dumb shit to their cars have a new excuse "you don't understand my vision and style and I have huge balls" ....seriously?

[ZilviaKid]

oh man after seeing them all laying down there.. i have to get a set.
