New wheels...XXR 522

XXR 522 18x8.5 +30 with Nitto Invos 245/40/18

They do not stick out nearly as much as people thought they would

I like the wheels but damn they look small. You got the right size tires so I'm not sure why they look that way

Yeah they do look small and its because the spoke tucks in and the color hides the lip of the rim. Same problem i has with my hiro's...they were 19" but they looked small.

When/If i get these rims I might go with 19"s. How much were the rims?

There's a stigma here of peeps running 19" and 20"... How the hell you gonna get traction in a 400hp Turbo-TL if your rocking rubber bands

I had 17" RPF1 on my TL-S (they looked itty bitty and weighed 16lbs per wheel )

Looks good! But as DIZAZNDOOD said... Or what he was trying to say. The BBK and the XXR don't match IMO only because you have a top of the line BBK and a very med-low end brand wheel. I know down here in FLORIDA, these wheels are getting popular with the younger import guys, mostly 16-22yrs. HONDA CIVIC owners. XXR wheels are nice looking but! a cheap replica of your HI END wheels coming out of JDM. Another example is ROTA. Everyone in their mother has ROTA's here in Tampa that drives a civic and now some guys are switching to XXR to be different. But one factor still remains... They are a cheaper line of wheels and known for those who can not afford VOLK/RAYS, BBS, ENKEI, AXIS, ... You guys get the picture. So, even though I did not explain what DIZANZDOOD exactly meant, I believe he was trying to say something along those lines. MAYBE... LOL! Because I also did not understand the VIP wheel suggestion with the WWBBK thing either... Why would you want a VIP look and stance when that is for more cruise and sexy show with a very HI end and HI performance BBK... Yeah, don't ask me...

not everyone is looking to spend couple grand on wheels to bend em in NYC streets...

xxr's... crack one bend one crash one... get a replacement via UPS from your fav online wheel-dealer and you are back on the road the same week

crack a volk, work etc... and you are rolling around on ur donut or your stock wheels till you replace the $400+ one you just dismemebered

this has already been beat to def here... libert aint getting xxr's cuz he can't "afford" the "high end" wheels... it's because of the risk for damage period

Well I like the tires ! The Nitto INVO is a very awesome tire imo . Reduced road noise which is awesome and they are very sticky and great in the rain. Top 3 favorite tire no joke.

I wont buy any wheel if isnt forged. From my exp Sport Maxx dont usually bend , they break ha ..
