Sup guys,
here's my new wheels made by XXR Wheels
XXR513 16 x 7/+ 15 offset /13 lbs/Nexen tires 205-40-16
what do you guys think??

Fireindc 04-09-2008 04:53 PM

Not my style but they look nice, offsets too low for me- at least they arent 0. Mariner blue ftw ;)

Trent 04-09-2008 04:57 PM

I like 'em. Kinda look like Koenig Rewinds.

Zabac 04-09-2008 04:57 PM

why did you choose +15, any reasoning or just like the look?

MX5-4me 04-09-2008 05:06 PM

are those wheels forged?

masblue 04-09-2008 05:09 PM

i just like how the +15 offset look plus has a bigger lip.

jayc72 04-09-2008 05:14 PM

Decent looking, but I think the 13lbs is wishful thinking. That looks to be a pretty stout wheel.

masblue 04-09-2008 05:14 PM

No their not Forged. This wheels are imitation of the panasports.

No chance they are 13 lbs a piece then.. Unless the spokes look like lasagna noodles..

masblue 04-09-2008 05:23 PM

i had a extra wheel for spare and when i weight it says 15 lbs opps my bad so the wheels weight 15 lbs not 13 lbs

They look really nice, only problem i see is the 7 inch wide. Totally should be x 8 or if possible x 9.

Don't mind everyone else talking about the offset being off. It's great. it sits flush with the car and widens your wheel base.

Needs more tire shine. lol. very creative design, reminds me of tips of swords.

I dont think there is any problem with 7 in wide. I fit 215 falkens on my 7 in wide rims easy, i actually really like how the sidewall of the tires sit flush with the lip of the rims.

Again, if i had a choice i would have went bigger though.

masblue 04-09-2008 06:04 PM

Thanks guys for your great replys
yeah i know i wanted 8 but i ordered it wrong when i called them back it was to late but its all good i'm happy with it.

y8s 04-09-2008 06:26 PM

that's the look the konig rewinds couldn't pull off. if they made those in a 16x8 et30 i'd be all over them.

budget racer 04-09-2008 06:28 PM

don't you have rewinds?

masblue 04-09-2008 06:45 PM

They do have 16 x 8 but only in +15 offset

elesjuan 04-09-2008 09:52 PM

Those wheels look really good, but I bet they rub on a really hard corner. :(

masblue 04-10-2008 01:15 AM
