XXR wheels any good?

http://www.nlmotoring.com/XXR-501-Wh...p/50158083.htm

They're inexpensive so I'm asking if anyone has had any experience with these wheels and if they're a good choice they're 15x8's.

So when I get the 6ul's then the right tire size for it is 225/50r15 correct? I want to get them in flat black looks cool.

You won't find that size. Closest size is 225/45

Why don't you just search? You keep setting yourself up for flameage.

They are pretty garbage wheels. On that note, I really like my Konig Retrack 15x7.5 wheels with +32mm offset. Nice 3" lip, and very light.

Lets wait for the XTRs to come out. Should be a quality wheel for the cheap.

Now I have a question:

Will I notice any increase in handling with these 6ul wider wheels and good tires?

Nope.

Just like a turbo, supercharger, or any other performance enhancing modification, it will decrease your performance and make you slower all around.

We do it cause we like to look tight y0
