Please chime in on where you might have heard this awesomeness for those who love max rubber and massive wheel width....that is all.

[enkei2k]

No knockoffs.

Waiting for confirmation link.

Doesn't matter which one you choose. You'll be made fun of all the same.

Only real excuse for choosing a wheel such as this is that some of us have a real budget, otherwise known as, a wife, child, and mortgage. Unless the true wheel this is modeled after (CCW LM) has a substantial weight/strength advantage, what other choice do we have for an 11" width wheel with that type offset. This would allow us penny-pincher guys who want a wide wheel to also be able to afford the wide tires to go with it.

[simmode1]

I searched google and found someone talking about the 18x11 on XXR's facebook page, but I didn't see any pic or confirmation of this from the company.

The XXR/Rota/Varrstoen war continues I guess. Personally, I never liked the look of the original CCW mesh wheels. Not gonna like a rep any better. But the size is tempting. XXR has been pretty cognizant of the need to make their wheels lighter than they had been doing years ago, so these might not be too bad as far as knockoff replicas go...

Then don't mod cars. This is a luxury, not a right.

You want an 11" wheel.

That means you need a bigger tire to fit it; Bigger tires cost more money.

Bigger tires also mean you have bigger power; power isn't cheap.

Which means your logic doesn't compute.

I saw this too on FB.


In for link/pics.


Side note.


Shoot me a text bro! Haven't seen you in ages!

[humilde_s13]

Info was taken out of FB XXR UK. Herd also of a new wheel design xxr 535 5 spoke but no sizes or any more info on them.

[simmode1]

Shoot me a text bro! Haven't seen you in ages!
Sure thing man! Happy Belated birthday!

I shot XXR UK a message asking if we were gonna get these 18x11 531's in the US. Apparently, they released 18x11 522's and we never got them here...

But I'm almost immediately more interested in this rumored 535 5 sopke design. I love 5 spokes!

Hmmm... Another wheel we never got stateside... The 925.

For shits and giggles, I went and checked Rota UK's FB page and found this:
The 18x10 RT5.

Appreciate the support guys. Obviously for those of us who have owned an S chassis for any length of time (read more than a few years) we invest time to modify and do things the right way, which takes time and money. When you agree to a budget with your wife say, it takes even more time to set aside the money. I agree that modifications are a luxury and not a right, but some folks just can't afford $3-4000 wheel/tire setups. I think the tire selection is ultimately more important as they are the sole point of contact with the road.

Not interested in stirring the pot, especially with those other members who have been around the community a long time such as myself, and I do agree there are times when genuine is a better choice than "replica" or "knock-off."

I'd like to know the build quality, weight, and composition of XXR wheels to make a final decision before just writing them off.

[HyperTek]

Im not in your shoes, don't have a wife, so I can't comment on your situation. As long as your happy with your choices, go ahead. I dont think XXR is that bad, at least not as bad as rota , i think XXR has some original designs, or at least changed alot from whatever they copied. It is just a cheap cast wheel, which can be heavy.

[MrSanchez925]

I could save and buy real wheels, but I rather save money and buy Rotas and xxrs.

[humilde_s13]

save money buy real wheels and get them stolen by some hater, dont seem right to me. at the moment have square g6 and dont think will be buying something that would attract attention to the thief eye.

[humilde_s13]

also heard xxr 530 in 19''.

[fliprayzin240sx]

^^^You herd a group of cows. You don't herd what you hear, you heard it.

[humilde_s13]

excuse my english, im spanish bro.

[ultimateforce]

I'd rather buy the real Rota Grid than knock-off Volk TE37s any day. The Rotas are way more heavy, which means they have more metal making them stronger.

Duh.

[fyneyoungstunna]

Ugh. So let me get this straight: you guys hate knockoff wheels? But, you read Xxr in the thread title, saw it was a thread about something you didn't like; but yet, still had the urge to come in and drop your shitty two cents?
Well I guess when you "accidentally" go to the gay bar, you can use the same excuse you type in the reply to me.........

[ever12]

This sentence rubbed me the wrong way. So he wants to modify his car and has a limited budget. Who are you to say whether or not he has the right to save money by using replica wheels in order to meet his end?

I think (and this is only my opinion) what was being said was simply that it isn't a necessity to modify a car, but rather a luxury or priveledge and that we shouldn't aim to find the cheapest and poorly-built parts just to get the car modified to a certain degree. I agreed to an extent but feel that we should be looking for the most useful, reasonably-priced modifications that would still accomplish the same end result, unless you happen to have brand loyalty or are after a very specific part, design, etc.

In the end, there will be a continued debate about real vs fake, genuine vs copy, etc, but for the most part, some of the big name parts are truly over-priced and you can get just as useful and well-built parts from others. Now, they may not share all the engineering design work, manufacturing processes, and same fit and finish, but take XXR wheels for example; as a company they either had to contract with one of the experienced wheel casting operations to have their wheels made, or they had to make the investment in CAD machines and designers, FEA analysis, manufacturing equip and tooling, etc. to get these to market. Their prices most likely reflect cheaper manufacturing processes, lower overhead, etc.

Now does ANYONE have any info on availability of 18 in the various sizes/offsets? Any info from XXR themselves?

[humilde_s13]

excited on how the 531 17x10 platinum 4x114 would look like in my vert (=

[jesse_s13]

Oh wow excited for the 18x9.5 platinum !

[h2v7]

the offsets are not the best thing ever...

[simmode1]

the offsets are not the best thing ever...
They've gotten better over the years, but at XXR's prices, I'm not complaining.

[ricekiller]

ive owned real ccw's , lightweight, excellent quality, i would not feel right buying a knockoff, but those damn prices are so cheap lol

[Chuki_KA24e]

All this talk about knock offs being crap and people being cheap makes me laugh a bit. I have a set of these 531's in 16x8/0 waiting to go on my car right now. Not only that but I didn't like the gloss black they came in so I refinished them in matte black. You know what kind of tires I'm going to be putting on them? Cheap ass used burners from the local tire shop. You know why? Cause I'm cheap as FUCK... Not only that but I'm also going to be buying the cheapest adjustable ebay coils I can find. I just rebuilt my ka24de, with what? Not a whole lot. the parts i did replace were deffinetly knock off. Am I poor? Hell No, I save more than I spend so I can travel for 2 months a year and buy cool shit like dirt bikes and other stuff.

I can afford to buy the real shit but why would I? If I hit the wall too hard at the track do I want to replace over $1000 in big name rim and suspension or $200 in knock off? I'm building a track pig not a show car to show how much expensive shit I can waste all my money on. If my shit gets stolen I'm only out a fraction of the money of the "real" thing. Insurance does not cover aftermarket parts where I live. With all this money I'm saving on buying knock offs I'm going to be able to have one of the first s15's licensed in Canada. Then I'm going to pull the junker sr20 out and replace it with ka24det built with nothing but cheap ebay knock off parts. Why you ask? Just to piss off all of you knock off hating people(and die hard sr fanboys)...

Hahahaha!!! Yeah I expected an answer like that. ^^^^

Seriously though, who cares if people want to buy knock off parts, they are going to buy them weather you give a fuck or not...

[ricekiller]

honestly im all for it, when you buy nice wheels, you get scared to mess them up lol...

[Chuki_KA24e]

Exactly, and I fucking love that picture ^^ hahahaha!!

[humilde_s13]

well said, :gives: who buys what if genuine or knock off.

[!Zar!]

lol poor people logic.

[s14kozenki]

lol poor people logic.
these wheels are going to sell no matter how much the brand whores hate on it hahaha that's the funny part! it's all for naught!

these rims will probably go on my second car. yes, I DO own RAYS but do I need 2 sets? haha no.

so keep us updated on when those 17's will be coming out.

[g35gabby]

Lots of posts in here make me Laugh hard.

None of the set of my Volks, Gramlights, Racing harts or BBS wheels cost what a new set cost me what a set of new XXR cost. Hell I have 4 sets of wheels just collecting dust on my patio right now for future projects I haven't even purchased yet.

Spending what I spent on a set of XXR's was simply the worst investment I have made on any of my cars. Rather be smart with my money and wait for a deal to come around instead of pissing it away on cheap shit.

PS I did come in here to see if they had made a 15 or 16" wheel in 5 lug. I need something other than soft 8s on Crager Crap on my $600 Ranger for when we go mudding. I can't convince myself to put the BBS RSs I have laying around on it.

[Mofuhcka]

Why not have a real set and a rep set, and dont give a fuck what anyone else thinks because YOU bought them with YOUR money for what ever the hell YOU want to do with them. Lol these arguments get so ridiculous and annoying sometimes.

You're right.

Be fake and know it.

Own your fakeness! Show all the haters what's up!

Just don't get butt hurt when I see your car in person and you hear me talking shit on it.

Hahaha!! Oh shit people, we got a real Badass up in hur...

I can't say I really care at all about what anyone thinks of my car.. If you talked shit about my car in person, I'd probably just laugh, agree, then drive away.

I would sure love to see what happens when you talk shit about the wrong persons car though. I hope it's being filmed for YouTube when it happens so everyone can see you get punched in the face for talking shit. Please don't get all but hurt when that happens k?.

I do the occasional dirt drops with my TE37s and the car sees more track miles in a year than street miles.

What's your excuse?

[!Zar!]

People who claim to track their car use the, 'it's a track car' excuse.

People who claim to DD their car use the, 'it's a daily driver' excuse.

They start lying to themselves so much that they finally start to believe it.

Either that, or they just suck at driving and refuse to realize it.

[VROOOM]

knockoffs are a joke, but putting $4k wheels on a car worth $1k is pretty funny too.

[Veryflush]

Oh so you have a real set of ccw's?

I have 8 ccw reps at half the cost and money to blow on your stripper girlfriends. (:

Why do people hate xxrs? It's a brilliant idea. I honesty drift my s13. Why the fuck would i take the chance on bending a 2-3k set of rims. Everyone makes mistakes and wrecks here and there and if you say you don't i call bs Mr. dK son.

Everyone has their own opinion..that's fine ill keep my reps..the other 1k went into my sr while yours is just stock...but nice wheels hoomie.
