    Anyone have XXR 501's on 2'' drop?

    Looking to buy these wheels soon, however I fear that 2'' may be too little of a drop to make these wheels look perfect. I currently have Neuspeed Race springs (about 2'' all around) but every car that I have seen has a 3''+ drop. Anyone have any photos of this setup?

    PS. I'm going for a stance/look such as this -> http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...light=hatching

        I love XXR wheels. It's my plan to pick up some XXR's and run Megan adjustable coilovers.

        I never realized how popular the XXR wheels are on our Accords. Quite a few guys on here have them. Just means they have good taste.

          Just run a 16" wheel and then you correct with the sidewall of the tire to fill the fender gap or provide plenty of travel without scrubbing, what ever you need to do. You can run like a 205/40/16 tire and it will be a nice low profile tire but if your running too much gap then move up to a 205/40 or maybe a 205/45....little differences in tire size will make a decent difference. It looks to me like HATCHing is running a 205/40 or 45 at most.

          oh and dont look at my car for comparison.....im running a 15" wheel with a 45 series tire

              Damn. This is interesting. I was thinking I was gonna have to go with a 18 inch to look good. I didn't realize 15\16 inch wheels looked so good on our cars. Lets keep this thread going. Id love to learn more.

                15 to 18s look good. It all depends on the tire size and the suspension.

                In my sig, I've got 18s with 215/35/18 tires and 2" drop springs.

                          you have to admit though, of people that buy XXR's, the majority do so because they can't or don't want to afford a more expensive wheel rather than doing it out of good taste. i said nothing about my personal taste, hell i have motegi's on my car that i bought for 150. i like cheap wheels too.

                            agreed. sometimes its hard to pass up a wheel set for $200 that'll look good. I bought my XXR 501's for $300 with eh tires. sold them and a bunch of shit with decent tires for over $400.

                            people want what looks good, on their budget. People that can't wait to find a deal, buy cheap shit. I haven't had a wheel fail on me yet. Ive run OEM honda, Rota, Motegi, XXR, and A.R.E. without any issues and im not easy on my cars or wheels. In all reality, MOST people that run cheap wheels, aren't gonna be making enough power to have one fail completely.

                              exactly why buy 1000 dollar rims like rays or bbs's if ur not guna race hard and just street drive..
                              these knockes offs are good for the everyday people who daily drive or just street race on weekends
