XXR 522s Question

[Ravens_CB7]

An offset that low is not made for your car. If you want to look like a retard, and wear the fuck out of the inside of your expensive tires, then do it.

I fucking hate this stupid cheap-shit XXR trend and all the ricers that want to be "stanced"

It's not the wheels fault deev, but the people that makes them look bad on the cars that give the brand a bad reputation, I was going that way and learned the hard way but sold mine and I'm trying to get some new wheels with the right specs for our car, maybe xxr maybe not, lol

im not trying to be all "stanced" im tryim to cop some wheels, but I aint trying to drop 2k on some volks u know, so whats your opinion on these wheels?

"Stanced" wheels are the new body kit and stretched tires the underglow.

True. But at least those things aren't a safety hazard. They just look stupid when done tastelessly.
Low offset wheels running extreme camber result in serious wear on the inside of the tires. I've seen countless "stanced" cars with absurd camber wear, some showing belts. The excuse is always "I can't afford new tires right now"

That's why.........doesn't matter if the wheels are cheap, if you make them look right. It's worth it, like deev says don't go with crazy low offset on the wheels and also don't do extreme negative camber.

[deevergote]

Exactly. It's not really the brand, but the stupid 0 offset that matters. It's the automotive equivalent of wearing girl jeans and thinking you look cool.

Inexpensive wheels are fine for daily driving, as long as they fit properly.

See I dont want alot of negative camber, I just want them to look.clean wthout killing my tires too much

[deevergote]

Then don't get a 0 offset, or they'll be poking out unless you run lots of negative camber.

Or, better yet, learn a thing or two about how offset and wheel fitment work, so you can determine these things on your own. That way, you won't be suckered in by all the trendy ricers that think a car that looks like this /==\ is cool.

If it was like your weekend car then maybe having that look would be cool but if your daily driving not recommended at all......that's why I sold my xxrs with 0 offset.....

Yeah. Most of the "stanced" cars you see gracing magazine covers and website front pages are show cars, weekend cars, or project cars. They aren't daily drivers. That's the bad thing about these crazy trends. The show queens popularize a look, then the naive kids do it to their street cars... only with too little money to do it properly (and in this case, safely!)


The Fast and the Furious popularized body kits and graphics. Laugh all you want at those cars, but those things on the movie cars are done well. The paint is quality, the graphics are properly placed, and the body kits fit well. For a while, those emulating those cars were praised, and the cars looked good. Then the aftermarket became flooded with cheap kits, cheap decals that peel in a month, and people forgot about painting their cars... so you ended up with a bunch of ricers with unpainted kits, peeling decals, and a car that's faded and rusting.

JDM became popular when the trends started abandoning all that flashy stuff. Sure, JDM was cool when you had to have a hookup for the good stuff... or at least deep pockets. Now, "JDM replica" crap is all over, and the ricers don't know the difference. People began rocking "JDM" wheels made in Taiwan, fashioned after more expensive wheels made in Russia. Once the market got flooded with replicas, nobody respected the real JDM cars anymore... criticizing them for being full of overpriced parts.

Now, we have "stance" (the term alone is stupid.) I agree, on a proper magazine queen, the look is cool. But rolling down the highway, riding on the inner edge of your cheap-shit Nexen tires, stretched to the point of tearing on wheels that were never made to fit your car? Not only does it make you look like an idiot, it makes your car REALLY unsafe!
Perhaps my criticism comes off as harsh on this site, but I REALLY don't want to see any of my members crashing their cars. Some of you guys are annoying as shit, but I don't want to see any of you get hurt!

Yah it is harsh lmfao ,when I do get them ill post pics
