Cool Concave = WINNING. The XXR-527 Picture Gallery!

Welcome AZiners and a hoarde of guests that have come in to our fair forum by way of Google and an XXR-527 query. Just thought I'd put together a little gallery of AZiners rocking the cost-effective concave WIN of the XXR-527. This is a sweet, sweet wheel for the price, and I think after viewing the pictures, I think you'll agree!

NOTE: GOT QUESTIONS ABOUT FIT? CLICK ON THIS LINK. We have ALL had fender work done, because I know someone will ask!

FOREWARD: Grab some tissues and fap if you will, or high-tail it to the john and regurgutate your last om-nom-noms...but DON'T MAKE THIS A PISSING CONTEST ABOUT "KNOCK-OFF" WHEELS. We know these are not Work, Advans, or the like...and we don't care, so don't fill this thread with the obvious.

Very nice, but DAMN those wheels look tiny. I don't know if it's because the spokes get thinner and thinner as you radially go outwards.. fitment is on point however. I would suggest lowering the car a bit more.

A good number of us are still under 2 weeks installed, and I think we're all still playing with the height before scrapesville. I will be lowering more in the future and cutting the fenders as needed to get there.

Agreed, the width reduction towards the outer rim is probably one of the few gripes about the design.

I like those chromium ones the best, then silver. I generally don't like black wheels because I think they kind of get lost on the car and you don't really see the wheels, and I am mot feeling the gold at all. I am still debating if I should go for these or not. Damn this thread

^ if they made them in 19" sizes then it would be a total win! 18's are ok but do look a lil tiny

LOL, yes, I concur.

Anyway, since this is the first I see of them, totally forgot to give you props DM. They look amazing on the car...if you can clear, I'd say go a HAIR lower just so you don't see the top of the tire from an angle. I know you can. But they look great. Your theme really WORKS.

Now I'm gonna have to go get rid of my POS works...

Lovely setup DeathMetal . I was on my phone looking at the thread and I finally got home and had the chance to look at the pics close up. You just need to go a tad lower and it will be perfect. I'm guessing you dont like the centercaps as well huh

Wow, Dan. Those look great.
I think TLDude's AM is the big winner. At least, his car is inspiring me, thats for sure!

No sweat, Jer - if you ever grow tired of your shoes (although I don't see how that's possible), there's no doubt your blackbird would look killer rocking the 527! When I have time, I need to lower her to TLdude's height (perfect), bust out the DA, and get some new shots!

Coming from the King of WDP, I appreciate it, Jamie.

wagon is nice but I am not feeling that fitment at all. It's overdone and not clean looking. Like no effort or planing was put into it. It's not all about wheels it's about fitment too

I had found that thread...in it, he basically said these were his new shoes until his other rims come in. Probably just temporary set for the guy.
